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.

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.

PEBKAC

A friend of a friend works in Tech Support. The phone rang one day - "Hi, it's John from Accounts. I've got a problem with my computer. I rang Dave (edit: the other support guy) who said I had an ID ten T error, and you'd know what that meant and how to fix it." He had to go on hold for a bit, then think of a face-saving way out of the situation.
