This poem was written by Jon Saxton (an author of math textbooks).
((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^(1/2))) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0
Or for those who have trouble with the poem:
A Dozen, a Gross and a Score,
plus three times the square root of four,
divided by seven,
plus five times eleven,
equals nine squared and not a bit more.
'Tis a favorite project of mine
A new value of pi to assign.
I would fix it at 3
For it's simpler, you see,
Than 3 point 1 4 1 5 9.

If inside a circle a line
Hits the center and goes spine to spine
And the line's length is "d"
the circumference will be
d times 3.14159
If (1+x) (real close to 1)
Is raised to the power of 1
Over x, you will find
Here's the value defined:

There was this guy who keeps bragging around about his balls. One day at a bar he met a fellow and said, " Hello, man! Your Balls plus my balls equals FIVE BALLS!" "Wow! you've got THREE balls? That's amazing!" replied the fellow. Then he met another bloke and told the same thing: " Hello, man! Your Balls plus my balls equals FIVE BALLS!" "Really? You have Three balls!!!" said the bloke. "How incredible!" This guy went to talk to other men, all were impressed of his unusual number of balls... Until he met the last dude. He told the dude, " Hello, man! Your Balls plus my balls equals FIVE BALLS!" the dude replied- "WHAT?! YOU ONLY GOT ONE BALL?"

First, these basics

Knowledge is Power
Time is Money and as every engineer knows,
Power is Work over Time.

So, substituting algebraic equations for these time worn bits of wisdom, we get:

K = P (1)
T = M (2)
P = W/T (3)

Now, do a few simple substitutions:

Put W/T in for P in equation (1), which yields:
K = W/T (4)

Put M in for T into equation (4), which yields:

K = W/M (5).

Now we've got something. Expanding back into English, we get:

Knowledge equals Work over Money.

What this MEANS is that:

1. The More You Know, the More Work You Do, and
2. The More You Know, the Less Money You Make.

Solving for Money, we get:

M = W/K (6)
Money equals Work Over Knowledge.

From equation (6) we see that Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches 0, regardless of the Work done.

What THIS MEANS more...
