Bon Bonds!

(Sorry for the delayed update, I was out in the mountains from Thursday to Sunday for my brother’s wedding)

(Science Pony Puns! Hooray!)

Fun Fact: If you can’t think of a counterexample to a statement, the only thing you have proven is that you can’t think of a counterexample to a statement.

More accurately, My Little Axiom of Choice states that there exists a function mapping the set of all bronies to the set of all partially ordered sets of ponies containing a maximal pony (poneset). In short: every brony has a preference.

The Worst Pony Conjecture states that there exists a pony Twist such that if Twist is a maximal pony in a poneset then said poneset is not in the image of the MLAC function. The existence of Twist is a hotly debated topic and the mention of her name often causes conferences to become riots.

(Thanks to emnt for the Axiom of Choice suggestion!)

If the Apple Family does in fact grow tenfold every hundred moons, they’re going to need a whole lot of cider for their next reunion.

Remember Lesson Zero? Twilight got an A- for that. In order to get a B+ in Magic Grad School you pretty much have to turn in a problem set with only the words “Luna is better princess” written across a crudely drawn picture of fat Princess Celestia eating too much cake.

Once pony scientists figured out how to create miniature Pinkie Pie clones by using the mirror pond and poison joke extract quantum computing (aka shove some mini-Pinkies in a box) became a reality. Most ponies try not to think about the ethical implications of enslaving Pinkie Pie clones for fear that their society would crumble without a cheap way to factor large numbers.

When Pinkie Pie breaks the known laws of physics, it’s gypsy magic. When Twilight Sparkle does it, it’s bone-fide academically approved real science. That’s the advantage of attending a government sanctioned graduate program over hanging out with the local witch doctor.

Season 3 of mathponies will appear in the near future! In the meantime, here is the best video ever made.

Cheerilee has an unhealthy obsession with plots and logs.

Bonus Note: I believe I speak for all math teachers when I say that this is basically what we all do in our spare time.

(Yes, Mathponies returns, along with the new semester, with a classy plot joke!)

As she grew up, Twilight became more of a Sergei Lang fan.

(Sometimes I just decide to say “screw the audience” and make something stupid that I find utterly hilarious.)

Listen up, foals! Iron Will here with a NEW regiment for those of you insecure ponies with low self-esteem. Yes, YOU! That’s right, you have low self esteem. You don’t like how your legs look. Look at these long and lanky legs. And that FLANK. Do you really want to be seen in public with that CRAZY FAT FLANK? You don’t. So here’s Iron Will’s new SELF-IMPROVEMENT COURSE. I will teach you to submerge your ugly body parts into water in strategic ways so that you look PRETTY. No DIETING. No EXERCISE. No MONEY DOWN. Just AWKWARDLY STICKING LIMBS INTO POOLS OF STAGNATE MOSQUITO FILLED WATER. Who’s with me? You’re with me! Because you’re UGLY!

YEAH!

When the Riches started building Ponyville they decided to skim and build houses on land tainted by the Everfree Forest. The result was that residential districts in historic Ponyville have strange topologies that make hide and seek games extra fun and, in some rare cases, extra deadly.

And now Vinyl Scratch herself explains how to drop the bass, mathponies style.

In Changeling society, the amount of power you wield is a function of the number of holes on your body. After all, it’d be hard to transform into a dozen donuts and a cup of coffee if you didn’t already have those holes in your body and the only thing stronger than Shining Armor’s love is Equestria’s love for delicious pastries.

256 followers! That’s amazing for a silly little blog that’s about pony image macros with math jokes on them! Thank you everypony for following!

For 512 followers something awesomer will happen, so spread the word! Reblog and spread mathponies at an exponential rate!

Cerebus was Celestia’s first experiment in multi-core organic parallel processing. He ended up being more suitable at multi-jaw parallel murdering as he gets 3 attacks per round with no penalties. In essence, he was Equestria’s first biological weapon of mass destruction.

Fluttershy is so mad she can just do mad science.

(This was my submission to things-fluttershy-wont-say, a blog that one of my friends and fellow Bronycon vendors runs. It is awesome.)

When you have reality-distorting powers it’s hard to tell whether the universe is actually broken or you’re just high on cupcakes. Thankfully, the Scientific Method provides Pinkie Pie with a scientifically sound solution.

What’s with this don’t drink and derive business? Drinking’s half the fun!

The other half is deriving, in case you haven’t figured that out yet.

In this 2012 motion picture set in post-apocalyptic dystopian Equestria, Sister Fluttershy, a dual-bird-wielding druid pony must use her mastery of CUTE-KATA in order to defeat armies of evil robobears created by the twisted Dr. Sparkle in a misguided attempt to organize the world into a card catalog. A card catalog of DEATH. And muffins.

Oh yeah there’s probably a physics joke in the picture.
