Imaginary numbers? Really?

So I had a lengthy conversation with my Algebra 2 teacher Mr. Bracher (think your awesome!) and we talked about imaginary numbers......

If you haven't hit algebra 2 yet, it is completely useless. I mean really why would you ever need to learn about unreal numbers. He responded "Electricity."

Stupid reason. like I'm EVER going to be an electrician. And as far as I know when Ben Franklin stuck a key on a kite in a thunderstorm he was quite unaware that there were imaginary numbers involved. SWALLOW THAT!!

Mr. Bracher is an odd one. He says that everything is numbers and that our eyes see numbers and translate them into colors and all sorts of stuff. So I was like trying to act stupid and said "Oh! So thats why we paint by numbers." Gahuh Gahuh. He didn't laugh.

See now i think of God as one of those masterminds that lives with his mom figuring all this stuff out in his parents basement as his mother brings down celery sticks and peanut butter. And He's like "Aha!!" and discovers FAKE numbers. and calls it "i."

Wow. Way to be egotistical.

"I" am this awesome fake number that you will never understand. "I" am there, then again "I" am not. "I" am in electricity. "I" keep your lifes filled with light and hope and love and the pursuit of happyness.

.....God had good thinking.

Now that "I" think about it, electricians can be quite stupid. "I" bet if you walk to up a dude working on the electric stuff and ask him about imaginary numbers he'd be like "Duhhhhhhhhhhhh......do you guys have any beer?" So there's always that.

"I" am so confused.
