    I knew Pythagoras was smart but I never knew he invented time travel. So cool!

      I took the opposite tack.

      You ain’t shit, Pythagoras! You just wrote it down, you didn’t figure it out, you absolute fucking fraud. We’re taking your immortality back!

          Why not call it the Summerian Theorem ? Or Arabic/Persian/Philistine Triangulation Theorem ?

          Poor poor Plagiar, everything he invented people stole and took credit for.
