That's a real bad one, especially as Lie is pronounced Lee.Ivan Seeking said:Lie algebras? Now I've heard everything. We only studied truth algebras.

Yes, but it took me quite a while to understand it at all. I read Lee algebras and didn't get the pun.Ivan Seeking said:Lie! Lie! Lie! And the thread didn't ask for good math jokes.

There's a similar joke (don't try to analyse this too much, it's full of logical holes):fresh_42 said:I probably told it before, but it is a really bad one:
A professor held his lectures and there were only three students in the auditorium. To make it even worse, after fifteen minutes five of them stood up and left the room. "D...", thought the professor, "I hope there will be coming another two so I can leave as well."
So is that from a Deceptive Calculus based on one of those Lying Algebras?fresh_42 said:My favorite of all times remains:
Let ##\varepsilon <0.##
Maybe a leftover from a poolean algebra.Ivan Seeking said:So is that from a Deceptive Calculus based on one of those Lying Algebras?
Nice joke, but you really meant to say "one hundred million and three", not "one hundred and three million".BWV said:Guy is flying over the Grand Canyon sitting next to an accountant. Looks over to the accountant and says ‘that sure is impressive’.
Accountant says ‘yes, it’s one hundred and three million years old’
Guy says ‘hundred and three million? How do you know that’
Accountant says ‘three years ago I was on this same flight sitting next to a geologist and he told me’

People have been getting taller over the decades.benorin said:The elementary school I went to had like 20 ft high ceilings, they planned ahead.
Not really. Rulers just keep getting shorter. It's a mystery.Hornbein said:People have been getting taller over the decades.
Relativistic contraction can explain everything.Ivan Seeking said:Not really. Rulers just keep getting shorter. It's a mystery.
Can you not simply place it in a car or inside an airplane? Could you not do this for virtually any inanimate object whose mass will not slow down either of these modes of transportation?mfb said:Rulers moving fast is a rare occurrence.
