A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician are sitting at a cafe watching people entering and leaving the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people enter the house. After a while they notice three people leaving the house. The physicist says, "The measurement wasn't accurate." The biologist says, "They must have reproduced." The mathematician says, "If one more person enters the house then it will be empty."

An infinite number of mathematicians walks into a bar. The first orders one beer. The second orders half a beer, the third a quarter of a beer, and so on.

The bartender says, "Know your limits, boys," and pours two beers.

The critter on the toothbrush is a house centipede ~ they eat silverfish.

A centipede with good dental hygiene. It brushes after every meal.

Oh my gosh. I got that. Why did they not use that as an example? that made sense to me.
I get more out of BYC than college...well, at least the math department.
( It was not my niche. )
The only thing I learned in calculus was that I was not going to learn calculus. It all went "WHOOOSH" and it messed up the top of my hair.
