Oh, I know the P = NP thing. Despite that, I thought it was kind of stretching (no offense meant, OP!).LeonhardEuler said:
On the other hand, my buddy who's also a developer thought it was somewhat funny (he called it "cute"), which just goes to show that humor is subjective. I guess I can see how it could be considered funny. And my sense of humor is possibly impaired today by a general lack of sleep, so don't mind me too much.

Once again I'll ask the OP, do you go on reddit? I just read a post on the "stupidest questions ever asked in your class". One was in a computer science class and the professor finished talking about NP-completeness and [tex]P = NP[/tex], a girl raised her hand and asked in a confident tone as if she had solved one of the greatest problems in computer science "What if [tex]N = 1[/tex]?" And the professor stared for a few seconds and didn't bother answering her question, silence followed.

Oh man... I love how this person thinks.
edit: This clearly needs to be tapped by Obama as the means of moving us into the future.
