the pythagorean theorem is actually the square of the hypotonuse of a right triangle is the sum of the squares of the other two legs of the triangle. Not the sum of the squares roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the remaining side. That scarecrow is never gonna have a brain.

The bad thing is that he said it with confidence

@ThatCoolGuyNamedMatt You probably are the only one. People like me don't know what the heck that means. In fact, most people who viewed this video probably still don't realize just how incorrect the scarecrow's triangle epiphany was, despite the attention drawn to it's incorrectness.

As quickly as he said it, it's actually tough to catch the major errors. No wonder nobody on the set bothered to correct it. Either that or back then people were more ignorant than they are today, despite our Kim Kardashian style entertainment being far more brainless than this classic movie.

@ThatCoolGuyNamedMatt He says E Pluribus Unum solely for the reason that it is probably the most familiar Latin phrase to the average American, regardless of knowing what it actually means, due to its presence on our coins. His purpose was to try to make his conferring the diploma sound official, in his own humbug fashion.

After reading the real theory, I figure the Wizard probably just gave that diploma to the Scarecrow to boost his confidence.

@ThatCoolGuyNamedMatt He's giving a made up diploma to an animated scarecrow...nothing makes sense in this context.
