Not 'really' OT

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.

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.

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!!!

integral(1 / cabin dcabin) = ln(cabin) + c = houseboat


Yeah, it wasn't that funny 25 years ago either.

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...
