I think it sounds more impressive to say "42 days" instead of "6 weeks".

Well, if someone is a constant jerk all the time they clearly must be C3 ...

I don't get these jokes. ##\dfrac{d^n x}{dt^n}=0## for any ##n\in \mathbb{N}## so what is funny here?

The derivative of acceleration is "jerk". The next three derivatives are sometimes called "snap, crackle and pop", a reference to advertising for the breakfast cereal Rice Krispies.

That is the most accurate technical graph I have ever seen!

EDIT: I also found it hilarious :smile:

Engineers approximate, programmers try every possible solution.

This is a well-known puzzle often used as a joking reference to "thinking outside the box" where the task is to connect all nine points using only four straight lines (the "scientist" solution), instead of the obvious five.

Physics For Pre-med Student

One day our physics professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. A pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask. "Why do we have to study this stuff?"

"To save lives," the professor responded and continued with the lecture.

A few minutes later the same student spoke up again. "So, how does physics save lives?" he persisted.

"It keeps the ignoramuses out of medical school," replied the professor.
