We are geeks, which if you don't live in Edmonton,
is synonymous with Mac. (our school). yes that was a big word, hard to type. we decided to include a page of jokes that may
or may not be funny to real people (outside our "bubble") but they are to us. some of us anyway...

There was a joke at the beginning of this, but it
was long and we didn't feel like reading it, plus the punchline was funny all by itself.
"Well," he says, "first I assumed all the horses were identical
and spherical..."
A chemist, a physicist, and a mathematician are stranded on an island when a can of food
rolls (WTF?) ashore. The chemist and the physicist comes up with many ingenious ways to open the
can. Then suddenly the mathematician gets a bright idea: "Assume we have a can opener ..."
this reminds me of an incident in the hallway last year when laura had a fruit cup that the opener
thingy had broken off and laura happened to have a screwdriver in her purse (i guess this happens often) and being the genius
he is, will decided to puncture it, sending fruit juice halfway down the hallway and all over all of us. wow that was longer
than the joke.
This one is for Russell....
A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were traveling through
Scotland when they saw a black sheep through the window of the train.
"Aha," says the engineer, "I see that Scottish sheep
are black."
"Hmm," says the physicist, "You mean that some Scottish sheep are black."
"No," says the mathematician,
"All we know is that there is at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least one side of that one sheep is black!"
A team of engineers were required to measure the height of
a flag pole. They only had a measuring tape, and were getting quite frustrated trying to keep the tape along the pole. It
kept falling down, etc. A mathematician comes along, finds out their problem, and proceeds to remove the pole from the ground
and measure it easily. When he leaves, one engineer says to the other: "Just like a mathematician! We need to know the height,
and he gives us the length!"
Alex thought this was funny. i'm not sure why.
To mathematicians, solutions mean finding the answers.
But to chemists, solutions are things that are still all mixed up.
Teacher: Now suppose the number of sheep is x...
Student:
Yes sir, but what happens if the number of sheep is not x?
what did the snail say when it was riding on the turtle's
back?
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
