A biologist, a statistician, a mathematician and a computer scientist are on a photo-safari in Africa. They drive out on the savannah in their jeep, stop and scout the horizon with their binoculars.

The biologist: "Look! There's a herd of zebras! And there, in the middle: a white zebra!
It's fantastic! There are white zebras! We'll be famous!"

The statistician: "It's not significant. We only know there's one white zebra."

The mathematician: "Actually, we only know there exists a zebra, which is white on one
side."

The computer scientist: "Oh, no! A special case!"

There was a farmer who had a son that went off to college to major in geometry. At the semester break, the son comes back home for a visit. The farmer, being a miserly SOB, decides to test his son's knowledge. He asks his son to say something in Geometry. His son, wanting to impress him, says "Pi R Squared." The farmer, now convinced that college is a waste of time and money replies, "You dumb jackass, you don't know nothin'. Everyone and their brother knows that Pi R round, cornbread be square."

I know, 't'aint funny, McGee.

Proof that girls are evil

Girls cost us both time and money.

g=tm

And we all know that "time is money"'.

t=m

Therefor:

g=mm=m^2

And because "Money is the root of all evil"

m=SQRT(e)

Therefor:

g=(SQRT(e))^2

And we are forced to conclude that:

g=e

girls = evil

There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand hexadecimal - and F the rest!

i said to pi get rational! pi said to i get real!

Best one I've heard lately:

Why is it that mathmaticians never distinquish between Halloween, and Christmas?



Because they know that Oct 31 = Dec 25.

Expand (a + b)^n.

And so on...

oops...that didn't work. The space between each symbol was supposed to expand.

^ Fixed that for you.

I also had to uncheck the "Disable BBCode in this post" option you'd selected.

VISA is an acronym for VISA International Service Association and WINE is an acronym for WINE is not an emulator. Recursive acronyms are fairly common, actually.

"Go to hell into boobies is almost divine". Teehee.

Translated: 5318008/7734209 is approximately equal to the divine ratio.

I hope this doesn't get deleted. I thought this one was good.

I won't delete it... the main reason being I don't get it! I know a joke explained is a joke spoiled but please humour me...

Two of the phrases can be typed into a calculator (with "to"->"2").

My joke:
An analyst came upon a category in her work. Suddenly, it starting communicating with her.
Category: No I am not Baire!
Disgusted, the analyst quickly crumpled the page and tossed it in a trashcan. Unfortunately, this was the last piece of paper! She looked around and went up to a man with plenty of this necessity.
The man: Yoneda paper?

True - of course, the funny part of the joke is that Benoit B. Mandlebrot is best known for discovering the "Mandlebrot set" fractal - which is in itself quite recursive.
