    We used to do that in school a lot. Now what’s the equation for 55318008?

    Well, part of the equation can be seen on the board in the second panel. Looks like two adjacent circular graphs also partake in the calculations in some way…

    There’s another one that equals BOOBLESS in the end, and there’s a story that goes with it: A woman had 69 boobs. The doctor said, “Too, too, too many.” So she took 51 pills times 8.

    6922251 x 8 = 55378008

    Is that a derivative of Lyle’s Constant?

      Thanks, gang!

      @Yacine: Sure, absolutely. I’m jumping a bit back and forth here, so this is an older strip, but PBF was (and still is) a huge influence on me. I can’t remember if I got this idea right after seeing that strip, though. Either way, it still cracks me up, especially the hands in the last panel.

      @Caitlin: Hah, nice! Kudos to the Australian education system. :D

      @Steriema: Aw, oh well – at least it was the brilliant SMBC who came up with it first, although I can’t remember reading it before making my version. Actually I made mine sometime in 2008 as well (evidenced by the signature), but probably not as early as February.

      Either way, things like this happen all the time amongst cartoonists – and in 99.9% of the cases it’s purely coincidental. Also – Dave Kellett, creator of Sheldon, blogged about occurrences like this the other day: Read it here.

    There was a 69 year old lady who was 2, 2, 2 fat. She went to 5 doctors and 1 of them said: Times these calculations by 8 and you will be…
