Just for laughs. (if you get it at all..)

Jokes of the past 5 weeks.

1. Take a mathematician, a physicist and a theologian and locks each of them in their own room with a can of spinach, but withouth a can opener. After a week open the doors. What has happened?With the theologian: Bumps in the can, scratches on the wall, everywhere spinach.=> He threw the can so long against the wall till it broke - He survived.With the physicist: On the wall are calculations and in a corner a small scratch with spinach.=> He calculated the force and the angel needed to open the can. - He survived.With the mathematician: Dead! On the wall a text: "I define: The can is open."

2. When light passes from one medium to another, it obeys a set of partial differential equations (which "optimize" the path as it were). The light "slows down" for the amount of time it takes for it to solve the equations. But if the light is experienced enough, it can solve the equations faster than when it first started out.Truly retarded light has so much trouble solving the equations that it just gives up and bounces back into the original medium.

3. Joke of the week 3- [Taken away due to its imba length.]

4. Some of my freshman math students are so clueless. They think General Calculus was a famous war hero! Here is a follow up: If General Calculus actually did exist, he will probably know how to integrate his troops together and differentiate between his enemies and his allies.

5. Q: What kind of star is dangerous?
A: A shooting star.
