I am 6'4"

This made me do the most spectacular double-take before realizing, "Duh, typo." (Headaches do bad, bad things to my mental acuity; this makes it a very VERY good thing _I_ don't have to try to remember any geometry today.)

Heh, the only thing I ever used algebra for after high school: Figuring out how long K-chan's Fuu sword should be in relation to her height.

Uh huh, yeah SURE I'll use this stuff in my daily life after graduation...

Ah ha! Geometry in the service of fashion.

And who said that high school math would never be practical?
