dila: It doesn't seem to make any sense, except that "vector" sounds like "victor" and also, vectors are mathsy.

The rest of the film was also pretty retarded. At first, I thought Cupid was unable to hit the dot because the dot had no length (probability theory and the "almost sure" thing) and then if they continued along those lines it might turn out to be interesting. But it's just some random 50s-60s propaganda trying to convince kids that school is cool.

Fuckings to it.

Hey thanks for posting texel. They used to show us this movie at school, err.. a few years ago. I hated itr then, much preferred Goofy sports. Somehow though its got considerable charm, and apparently staying power. It was great to see it again after all these years.

Moral? It's a pun. The moral of the original quote? Pretty darn obvious.

But can you explain it!?

Never mind, I'll try again in another 1,000 days...
