Oh, my. ... Based on that, I just made this one up.

What do you get when you cross a rotten apple with an angry baboon?

Spoiler

Apple: \vec a
Baboon: \vec b

<br /> \vec a \times \vec b = <br /> \begin{vmatrix}<br /> \hat x &amp; \hat y &amp; \hat z \\<br /> a_x &amp; a_y &amp; a_z \\<br /> b_x &amp; b_y &amp; b_z \\<br /> \end{vmatrix}<br /> <br /> = (a_y b_z - a_z b_y) \hat x + (a_z b_x - a_x b_z) \hat y + (a_x b_y - a_y b_x) \hat z<br />

There are 3 types of people in the world. Those that can add and those that can't.

Old but gold. There are ten kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

Apologies for being a downer here, but this one's better if you actually write out the numbers: "There are 10 kinds of ..."

It's a matter of representation and pronunciation (verbalization might be a better term here). When switching bases, the numerical representation of the numbers may change, but their names don't. "10" is not "ten" in binary, it's still "two," and spoken of as such. In binary, ten is 1010.

It seems Zack Weinersmith pulled a subtle followup in today's (actually yesterday's) SMBC:

Infinitely many mathematicians walk into a bar. The first says, "I'll have a beer." The second says, "I'll have half a beer." The third says, "I'll have a quarter of a beer."

The barman pulls out just two beers. The mathematicians are all like, "That's all you're giving us? How drunk do you expect us to get on that?"

The bartender says, "Come on guys. Know your limits."

This one actually happened, told by a prof.of mine, prof X. One of the prof's students wrote a paper, in which he stated that everything in Mathematics he knew was thanks to Prof X. The paper was full of errors.

This reminds me of Prof X's former student , who wrote a paper, where , in his dedication, he thanked Prof X, who " Taught him everything he knows about Mathematics. "

The paper was full of errors.

$$\sqrt{2^{6^{2^{1^{4^{4}}}}}} = 262144$$

Spoiler: What? No it doesn't.

$$\sqrt{2^{\left(6^{\left(2^{\left(1^{\left(4^{4}\right)}\right)}\right)}\right)}} = 262144$$

Lego actually makes these:

A square part used to make a spiral staircase

I had used similar wording to make a square circle, but it was a 'figure with four equal straight sides and four equal angles'. Just draw it with chalk on a parking lot. If it isn't circular, you didn't draw it large enough.
