  1. Someone is bound to make the snide observation that secular math isn't an emphasized part of a seminary curriculum. ;-)

  2. Maybe they did this purposely so there add would receive attention and get free publicity from the bloggers.

  5. Moti,

    I considered the angle, but decided against it.

    Wigwamer,

    Perhaps, but somehow I doubt it. In any event, I didn't give the name of the store.

  6. Wolf, obviously "simply half" is not the equal to just regular "half".

    Get with the program! ;)

    Why not call them and politely point out the error? Its misleading advertising.

  8. Since it is very close to half off (in one case off by only $25), its not really misleading- so I suspect that they probably were making the mistake intentionally just to attract attention.

  9. Obviously, you're not getting the subtle (but obvious) gematriatical angle on this. Unfortunately, for your own safety, if it isn't obvious to you, I shouldn't explain it to you lest you become a ball of fire.
