Not 'really' OT

[Robatoy]

I was going to learn to use a router, but I didn't dare to take the plunge.

I was going to be a lawyer, but I couldn't find my briefs.

I was going to be a doctor, but I didn't have the patience.

I was going to be a skydiver but I was not ready to take the leap.

I was going to be a surgeon but didn't make the cut.

I wanted to be a mathematician but couldn't integrate.

OKOK, its weak, but I like it anyway (my g/f is a mathie). Have you heard the joke about e^x at the party...

Ask her "what's purple and commutes?"

[Tim and Steph]

While we're on that subject:

Three squaws were each preparing for the birth of their first child. The first placed a large bear hide by the river, the second squaw placed an elk hide by the tree by the river, and the third squaw placed a hippopotamus hide by a path, near the river and the tree, so that the three formed a triangle.

It just so happened that all three women gave birth on the same day. The first squaw on the bear hide had a 5lb son, the second on the elk hide had a 6lb son, and the third squaw on the hippopotamus hide had an

11lb son.

To this day, mathematicians credit these three women with the first proof of Pythagorus's Theory :

The son of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the adjacent hides.

I wanted to be a comedian, but everyone just laughed at me.

Oh my freakin' god, that's terrible.

Oh man, I love it.

So, there was this big math party. All the important functions where there; sin, cos, Pythagoras, everyone. e^x showed up to the party but was observed staying alone in the corner quietly. Some of the equations felt rather bad and went over to e^x and said to it: "Come on, have fun and join the party! You will never have fun if you don't integrate!". e^x replied: "Why bother, it doesn't make any difference".

ROFLMAO!!!

I think she has just finished too many mid-terms; she doesn't get it. Ok, give!

I don't get it. Give!

" A group or other algebraic object is said to be Abelian if the law of commutativity always holds."

And while we're at it, don't forget that all involutory collineations are harmonic homologies. Sheeeesh. j4

The one about the e^x bragging to the differential operator that it can't be harmed just to hear: "Pity. I'm d/dy..."?

1. You're not a mathemetician, so it won't be funny. Trust me on this.
2. One of the properties of an Abelian group is that it is commutative. (Addition is commutative; 4 + 3 = 3 + 4.) Groups are apparently very interesting to maths types. I never took those courses, though.
3. What's purple and wants to rule the world? Alexander the grape. You get the picture...

[Australopithecus scobis]

or the constipated engineer who worked it out with a slide rule?

[Dave Balderstone]

Purple in the ocean? Moby Grape.

[Robatoy]

That's .. what's pink and floats in the ocean..

Moby's dick.
