I was just demonstrating proof by embarrassment. |

Mods, I would really love to see a new thread titled "Looking at MN_Cavepeople like he's nuts".

You mean, split it off to its own thread, then locking it for purposes of preservation?

I've been looking for funny math jokes to try to divert the attention away from my swamp walking abilities. I've come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a funny math joke.
For example:
Math problems? Call 1-800-[(10x)(13i)^2]-[sin(xy)/2.362x].
If parallel lines meet at infinity - infinity must be a very noisy place with all those lines crashing together!
Maths Teacher: Now suppose the number of sheep is x...
Student: Yes sir, but what happens if the number of sheep is not x?
Zenophobia: the irrational fear of convergent sequences.
Philosophy is a game with objectives and no rules. Mathematics is a game with rules and no objectives.
If I had only one day left to live, I would live it in my statistics class: it would seem so much longer.
And, since 1B seems to like infinity:
A very large mathematical convention was held in Las Vegas. The conventioneers filled two hotels, each with an infinite number of rooms. The hotels were across the street from each other and were owned by brothers. One evening, while everyone was out at a bar-b-que, one of the hotels burned to the ground. The brothers got together and worked out a plan. In the remaining hotel, they moved all guests to twice their room number -- room 101 moved to 202, room 1234 moved to room 2468, etc. Then all the odd number rooms were empty, and there were an infinite number of odd rooms. So the guests from the other hotel moved into them.
I guess you had to be there.  |

I'm sure everyone has probably already seen the great math answers used by students on exams.
Here is my favorite.
Must have been a geocacher...

Math makes my head spin.
I'm going for "third time is the charm" to pass calculus next semester... |

So I ended up watching Donald in Mathmagic land. Does that mean all mathematicians can shoot amazing pool shots like that?

I've watched that movie about 30 times -- having shown it to classes for fun -- and I still don't understand the pool sequence. We can't play pool, but we do have pentagrams tattooed into our palms.

Are you kidding? Those are hilarious!

There was a scientific conference at a hotel. In the middle of the night fire broke out in the rooms of three attendees: one engineer, one chemist and one mathemetician. The engineer woke up, saw the flames and used the fire extingusher in the room to put out the fire. The chemist woke up, saw the flames, determined what was burning, measured the rate of oxidation, calculated how much flame retardant was required to stop the reaction, and used the fire extinguisher in the room to put out the fire. The mathemetician woke up, saw the flames, saw the fire extinguisher in the room, said "A solution exists" and went back to sleep.

Based on this I derive:
Mathematicians = Arsonists |

Are Mathematicians and Statisticians the same? (I'm sure I'll pay for that one...)
Three Statisticians went duck hunting. They were out on the water when a beautiful large duck took off from the weeds and started flying away. The first statistician carefully aimed and took a shot - and missed just high. The second statistician had to shoot quicker as the duck was starting to get away and shot - just missing low. The third statistician said 'Woo hoo! We got him!' |

From my understanding they are not all the same, only 42.96324 % of them are the same. |
