1 million microphones: 1 megaphone


Shouldn't this be a trillion microphones?

[Preno]

Actually, I think it should be:
1 million microphones: 1 phone
1 million phones: 1 megaphone

Brilliant.

1 million microphones: 1 phone
1 million phones: 1 megaphone

oops, sorry

[Loren Pechtel]

Actually, I think it should be:
1 million microphones: 1 phone
1 million phones: 1 megaphone

And a million millions is a trillion.

The proofs are fairly awesome.

Bad joke told me by a math teacher

Q; What is the integral of 1/cabin dcabin?

A: a houseboat ... log cabin + sea.

I find it hard to imagine that most people measure everything in money. It doesn't even have a SI unit, nor is it a constant.

Hey, that's pretty good. :)

Saving your tomatoes for me? Wise choice.

After Noah landed the Ark on Mt. Ararat, he sent the animals out into the world, saying "Go forth, and multiply!" And they left.

Later, he was down in the hold of the ark, hosing it out, and he came upon two snakes. "Hey you snakes," he called. "I told you to go forth and multiply."

"We can't multiply," said the snakes. "We're adders."

Noah thought about this, and decided he could help the snakes. He went out into the woods and cut down the tallest trees he could find. He stripped the branches from the trunks, and lashed the trunks into a platform outside the ark. Then he went in, picked up the snakes, carried them out to the platform, and said:

"There! Even adders can multiply, on a log table!"

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

Reminds me of this one somehow:

BipvGD-LCjU
Lyrics:

The path of love is never smooth
But mine’s continuous for you
You’re the upper bound in the chains of my heart
You’re my Axiom of Choice, you know it’s true

But lately our relation’s not so well-defined
And I just can’t function without you
I’ll prove my proposition and I’m sure you’ll find
We’re a finite simple group of order two

I’m losing my identity
I’m getting tensor every day
And without loss of generality
I will assume that you feel the same way

Since every time I see you, you just quotient out
The faithful image that I map into
But when we’re one-to-one you’ll see what I’m about
‘Cause we’re a finite simple group of order two

Our equivalence was stable,
A principal love bundle sitting deep inside
But then you drove a wedge between our two-forms
Now everything is so complexified

When we first met, we simply connected
My heart was open but too dense
Our system was already directed
To have a finite limit, in some sense

I’m living in the kernel of a rank-one map
From my domain, its image looks so blue,
‘Cause all I see are zeroes, it’s a cruel trap
But we’re a finite simple group of order two

I’m not the smoothest operator in my class,
But we’re a mirror pair, me and you,
So let’s apply forgetful functors to the past
And be a finite simple group, a finite simple group,
Let’s be a finite simple group of order two
(Oughter: "Why not three?")

I’ve proved my proposition now, as you can see,
So let’s both be associative and free
And by corollary, this shows you and I to be
Purely inseparable. Q. E. D.



And now for something completely different:
