Also, try googling for "recursion" and see what happens.

Upon following your advice, I came across this interesting aspect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droste_effect

The Droste effect-known as mise en abyme in art-is the effect of a picture appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. The appearance is recursive: the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size. It is a visual example of a strange loop, a self-referential system of instancing which is the cornerstone of fractal geometry.

That reminds me that on page 269 of Kernighan and Richie's book The C Programming Language, the book's index entry for "recursion" includes page 269.

I didn't know that one. I love little gags like that in textbooks.

Nice. Have you tried googling for "askew"? You need a reasonably modern browser for that one.

Does the index distinguish between directly addressed pages and pointers?

Since googling is the current subject, thought I'd post this URL.

Another board I read has a knight, Sir Chenjin (say it out loud).

I don't get it.

 

[1oldman2]

I don't get it.

(search engine = Sir Chenjin)

 

[fresh_42]

(search engine = Sir Chenjin)

And I took it for "the changing" which is pretty meaningless ...
Thanks for clarification.

What's the difference between a celebrity, a firefighter and a physicist?

Spoiler: warning: it hurts

For a celebrity, fame is everything.
For a firefighter, flame is everything.
For a physicist, frame is everything.

Why did the programmer die of starvation in the shower?

The instructions on the shampoo bottle said "Wash, rinse, repeat"

 

[Bystander]

I don't get it.

One more time --- slowly --- and, out loud --- I didn't either --- at first, or second --- but, third time's the "charm."

 

[EnumaElish]

(search engine = Sir Chenjin)

I still don't get it. Is it supposed to sound out "Another bored irate ..."? Or "A mother board"?

 

[jim mcnamara]

Try sirch enjin - phonetically sound it out

Otherwise you must be making a point unrelated to the 'I do not get it'. Which I do not get...

 

[1oldman2]

Forget everything but Sir Chenjin

For this thread, lame is everything

 

[Bystander]

Langauge barrier/hurdle/confusion/translation problem?

 

[jtbell]

I still don't get it.

What's your native language? Maybe "Sir Chenjin" is pronounced differently in some other languages than in English.

Words below each other sound the same, read aloud

Search____engine
SirCh______ enjin

I guess maybe you read j in Chenjine as J in Jacques? This joke assumes you read it as j in jam. Also Ch could be alternatively read as K, Russian kh (letter x in azbuka), or even sh as in Charles (French name) but in this case, it should sound as ch in sandwich.
yeah, this joke is harder to understand for speakers of other languages.

I was going to make some kind of "four crying out loud" pun. But then I realized that there are no angles given and the diagram as labelled cannot be to scale. 10/10, in that case...

An old lady offers her neighbour nuts for free. The man gratefully accepts.
This repeats for a few days and then the man asks:

"Grandma, why do you buy those nuts when you can't eat them? "

" I buy Tofiffee. "

 

[EnumaElish]

Forget everything but Sir Chenjin

OK. Now I get it.

So I am not to sound out "forget everything but"? (A joke)

My son appeared this morning wearing a backpack with a shark fin (ref), waving a lightsaber, and claiming to serve the shark side of the force.

I have trained this one well.

"Well trained this one you have."

This reminds me of the following story.

Once I had a temporary daughter (modern times ...) and when she got bullied by one of her classmates, I taught her to respond something incredibly smart, so the other one would look like an idiot. So she learned by heart a mathematical phrase.

However, I didn't expect her running around on her mom's regular Line Dance event, telling everybody she could get a hold on, that $\pi$ isn't in any Galois extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. Oh dear ...

Why did the chicken cross the road?

He was stapled to Sid Vicious.

I thought the chicken crossed the road to see their flat mate.

Wasn't that the hedgehog?
