    A couple of fun limericks:


    There was a young woman named Bright

    Whose speed was much faster than light.

    She set out one day

    In a relative way,

    And returned on the previous night.


    There was a young chemist from Ryde,

    Who drank a foul poison and died.

    It was ortho-hydroxy-

    para-methoxy-

    tri-nitro benzaldehyde!


    A woman in liquor production

    Owns a still of exquisite construction.

    The alcohol boils

    Through magnetic coils.

    She says that it’s “proof by induction.”

    There are 10 kinds of people in this world.

    • Those that know binary.
    • Those that don’t.
    • And those that didn’t expect this joke to be in base 3.

    EDIT:

    A statistician, a biologist, and a mathematician are sitting in a cafe watching the building across the street. 2 people enter the building. Some time later, 3 people come back out.

    • The statistician says, “Our initial count must’ve been off.”
    • The biologist replies, “I think they probably reproduced.”
    • The mathematician observes, “Now if exactly one person enters the building it will be empty.”

    Someone asks “what’s up?”

    Answer: “the cross-product of forward and left”

    (the popularity of this joke in engineering school trained me to never ask “what’s up?”)
