Flat earther people believe that LHC is a portal to bring back the devil to earth!
This is not a joke at all, but i can't help falling in laugh imagining the devil until midnight trying to prove to himself he is able to make the universe's entropy decrease while the physicists comforting him.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a pint. The second one orders half a pint. The third one orders a quarter of a pint. The barman quickly pulls two pints and hands them over. "But no more, fellas. You got to know your limits."

If the mathematicians need to keep ordering beers they are doing it wrong. They just need one beer each. Every mathematician x gives their beer to mathematician [x/2], rounded down. Now everyone has two beers and can drink one before you can repeat the process.

But if they order sequentially they can always use the principle of Hilbert's Hotel to get one more beer in.

Why do mathematicians make terrible farmers?
They think all fields must be rings... and they expect the all the plants in it to multiply.
