655 no-number/pound HAL times bracket cathedral?

- HAL 9000
- Stephansdom in Vienna.
Close. With the kind of number and read differently it will be the solution.
 
OEIS doesn't know 9,8,4,9,8,4,9,8. Where does that number come from?

No idea.

665 is a happy number, so "Happy HaL number - o(Wien)". I had no idea for "Thanksgiving".

If all snowflakes are different, does this mean it's impossible for snowmen to have identical twins?

Today's SMBC .
I could rip the image, but then you wouldn't get to read the mouseover popup and click the red button.

Of course, if you replace "badness" with "prices", that's describing inflation. "Inflation is falling" means prices are still rising, but the second derivative of prices is negative. But they never present it like that.

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works.

Practice is when everything works but no one knows why.

In our lab, theory and practice are combined:

Nothing works and no one knows why.​

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

There are two types of physicists: mathematicians and blacksmiths.

Now you've opened that door...

There are 10 types of mathematicians: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Comment: this is a rare example of a joke that only works in writing, and fails when spoken. Often it's the other way around.

I thought there were 10 types - those that understand ternary, those that don't, and those that thought this was going to be a joke about binary.

(Which caused somebody upthread to comment that he thought he saw an inductive proof that there are infinitely many jokes of this form, and that life would never be dull...)

Yes the door is opened,
As they were discussing, the binary-ist and the ternary-ist agreed to disagree if 10 was company or a crowd.
