Still not dead (or king) - interlude

I'm still thinking of how a person with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can fight back against the GOP, in hopes of making them sane again. Blogging is all I can think of. I'm not sure if I should try to blog elsewhere, or just say what I have to say here (or seeing if LongHairedWeirdo - my nom du blog - is available on LJ/DW). Any thoughts?

Interlude: At work, there are a collection of clever and cute bumper stickers. One bothered me for a long time... I finally figured it out recently, though.

It shows a picture of a brain, and a > (greater than) sign. On the right hand side, it had sigma (sum of) i = 1 to n, of (a picture of a bear)/n.

So:

brain picture > (sum from 1 to n) of (bearpicture)-sub-i, divided by n

Can you figure it out?

Hint: think cartoon

Brain of very little bear?

Mind greater than the sum of its brewing?

(My head is not going anywhere useful right now.)

Smarter than the average bear!

(It only took almost exactly three days. This is why I don't enter contests.)

I think I'd have to see the image to be able to figure it out, as my math education isn't great!

FWIW, my political action is starting with blogging, but it's more of a study session. I want to make sure I understand clearly any other action I take. So, that's what's going on with my Support and Defend series.

The only thing I can think of is some kind of reference to Winnie the Pooh and "a bear of little brain," but that doesn't seem to fit.

LongHairedWeirdo isn't currently in use on either LJ or DW. If I recall correctly, the maximum length for LJ usernames is 15 characters, in which case this wouldn't fit; Dreamwidth allows longer names (though I'm not sure offhand how long. (I just spent a couple of minutes poking through the FAQs, and couldn't find the length limit for LJ, just that if a name is too long, you'd get an error message.)

"Slightly smarter than the average bear," of course :-D
