After publication I simplified a couple of my papers so they were trivial. They might not have been publishable in that form but if they were they might be in undergrad textbooks.

Silly undergrads, they were wearing shirts that said:
"Just Say
N2O
to Drugs!"

And thought it would fly in the Chem Class.

I first thought that you wrote "Chern Class" and coudn't figure out how is it related to algebraic topology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern_class
Just say ##\aleph_0## to countable infinities.

Better:

Child: I want it!
Me: No.
Child: But I want it!
Me: No.
Child: But I waaannnt it!
Me: How many times do I have to say it? ##\aleph_0##.

That only works for Physicists and Mathematicians. Engineers would figure you didn't know how to spell... o0)

They would think it reads ##18.84##!

##\sqrt{-1}## is a positive root, ergo ##1##.
##2^3 \approx 2\cdot 3 = 6##.
##\sum \pi \approx 3.14##

Edit: I was a bit unfair to engineers. In fact it is ##2^3\approx 1+2*3## (Bernoulli).

He was just lucky it was Flat Mars in the orbit at that time, Flat Venus would be right out!

Then again, isn't there something almost like that with the Venus Flat Trap?

Well, people HAVE been complaining about planes falling out of the sky, so there might be something to it...other than the delivery.

Schroedinger...Isn't he the guy what invented Cat Boxing? That's just mean, making cats fight like that: standing upright, paws sheathed and no ear-biting allowed...just plain un-natural.

The problem with cat boxing is that both cats are always KO'd and not KO'd at the same time.
