A bunch of Polish scientists decided to flee their repressive government by hijacking an airliner and forcing the pilot to fly them to a western country. They drove to the airport, forced their way on board a large passenger jet, and found there was no pilot on board. Terrified, they listened as the sirens got louder. Finally, one of the scientists suggested that since he was an experimentalist, he would try to fly the aircraft.

He sat down at the controls and tried to figure them out. The sirens got louder and louder. Armed men surrounded the jet. The would be pilot’s friends cried out, “Please, please take off now!!! Hurry!!!”

The experimentalist calmly replied, “Have patience. I’m just a simple pole in a complex plane.”

Theorem: All numbers are equal. Proof: Choose arbitrary a and b, and let t = a + b. Then a + b = t (a + b)(a – b) = t(a – b) a^2 – b^2 = ta – tb a^2 – ta = b^2 – tb a^2 – ta + (t^2)/4 = b^2 – [...]

The chef instructs his apprentice: “You take two thirds of water, one third of cream, one third of broth…” The apprentice: “But that makes four thirds already!” “Well – just take a larger pot!”

What is the integral of “one over cabin” with respect to “cabin”? Answer: Natural log cabin + c = houseboat.

Theorem: 1 + 1 = 2 Proof: n(2n – 2) = n(2n – 2) n(2n – 2) – n(2n – 2) = 0 (n – n)(2n – 2) = 0 2n(n – n) – 2(n – n) = 0 2n – 2 = 0 2n = 2 n + n = 2 or setting n [...]

A math student is pestered by a classmate who wants to copy his homework assignment. The student hesitates, not only because he thinks it’s wrong, but also because he doesn’t want to be sanctioned for aiding and abetting.

Proof: We know that $1 = 100 cents Divide both sides by 100 $ 1/100 = 100/100 cents => $ 1/100 = 1 cent Take square root both side => squr($1/100) = squr (1 cent) => $ 1/10 = 1 cent Multiply both side by 10 => $1 = 10 cent

A mathematician and a physicist agree to a psychological experiment. The (hungry) mathematician is put in a chair in a large empty room and his favorite meal, perfectly prepared, is placed at the other end of the room. The psychologist explains, ‘You are to remain in your chair. Every minute, I will move your chair [...]
