I am a giant nerd

Yesterday I got bored in math class and used a series of equations to graph a smiley face on a y-intercept graphing calculator.

The function set went along the lines of...

Y1=Root(64-X^2)
Y2= -Root(64-X^2)
Y3=Root(4-(X-3)^2)+3
Y4=-Root(4-(X-3)^2)+3
Y5=Root(4-(X+3)^2)+3
Y6=-Root(4-(X+3)^2)+3
Y7= -.75*Root(25-X^2)-3
Y8= -.25*Root(25-X^2)-3

may have mixed up a negative somewhere in there, but that's the gist of it.

Ever done something so nerdy that you surprised yourself? Story time!
