The car horn was invented to warn people in case of danger.

The proof of that is that everybody uses it when a couple gets married.

A joke from the days after the 2008 recession/depression. What's the capital of Iceland? Around $2.50.

Seems like an additional few Kronos would be enough for a double shot Espresso.

The explanation is wrong.
The check was made out for $.002, which is the amount Randall Munroe was billed for. No amount of explanation on his part got through to the clueless Verizon employee he talked to.
##e^{i\pi} = -1## is what is written, not ##e^{2\pi}##. The explanation for the summation is correct.
The amount of the check is .002 - 1 + 1 = $0.002, or 2/10 of a cent.

Edit: Looks like several people beat me to the punch here.
No one was billed $.002, and Randall Munroe wasn't the Verizon customer.
George Vaccaro was billed $.002 per KB instead of 0.002 cents as advertised. Here is the original story

If a diploid ("2") cell splits in half, it becomes a haploid ("1/2") cell.

2/2 = 1/2 in biology.

No wonder they struggle with these concepts.

On the other hand jokes about nuclear fission only work if enough good ones are concentrated at one spot...

A good stand up comedian on average can reach "prompt comicality" 10-15 mins into his routine, then he "bombs"...
