In summary: Usually it's been commentated as being 'real'. Actually the joke dates back to the 30's and whether it's real or not cannot be said anymore.

Quantum Mechanics by Dr. Mel:

Caution, if you put it back on the shelf, it changes places with other books.

I figured the words would change states every time you open it.

If you throw up from drinking too much, is that proof by contradiction?

You put a spin on the joke. Now the conversation has become polarized.

In the interest of scientific accuracy, I must point out that flying fish definitely do fly, or at least glide for extended distances, as can be seen in any number of Youtube videos. Thank you, I feel better now.

That's easy. Any kid from the 1960's knows Astronauts prefer:
Tang!

But what do Cosmonauts drink?

Similarly: Fermat, Newton and Pascal play hide and seek. It is Fermat's turn to search the others, he covers his eyes and starts counting. While Pascal runs away and hides, Newton takes some chalk and marks a square on the ground with a side length of exactly 1 meter, then sits down inside the square.

Fermat finishes counting, opens his eyes and shouts "I found you Newton!"
Newton: "No, you found one Newton per square meter, you found Pascal!"

If we cut a cake into 3 pieces, each piece will be 0.333 of the main piece.

If we multiply 0.333 times 3, we get 0.999.

So what happened to the 0.001?!

You will find it on the knife.
