Got any good jokes?

Why do some mathematicians go 'trick or treat'ing on Christmas Day?
Because they know 31 oct = 25 dec .

How is that?

(gdb) p /o 25
$1 = 031

Think computer, not mathematician, who rarely find a need for such notations.

If I told you the joke works on being able equate sums using different numeric bases, could you work it out? (It's simple maths.)

Thedoc finds "simple" a bit challenging, you're going to have to spell it out for him.

My math is a bit rusty, but 31 in base 8 is 24.8 and 25 in base 10 is 25, so it's not quite a match unless you round up. Or did I miss something, I really don't feel like putting a lot of effort into it.

[Base 8] 30 = 3x8 = 24 [Base 10]
[Base 8] 31= (3x8) + 1= 25 [Base 10]

How you got that 31, in base 8, is 24.8 is beyond me???

You get it now?

I see my mistake now, 30 in base 8 is 24 plus 1 in base 8 is still 1 and that all equals 25.

I took 31 times 8 equals 248, I just moved the decimal point, but 31 is still in base 10. I said my math was really rusty.

Q: Why is there a law against throwing rocks in Washington D.C.

A: Because if you throw a philosophical concept you might miss a lawyer.

If you ever wake up and you don’t know where you are,
ask someone to say, Civil Rights.

If they say Rats, you know you’re in a US southern state.

Not for any philosophical reason.
It’s the accent. Civil Rats.

How do scientists know that?

Hey I got one...

Get it?


Poke, poke!

Finally, evidence likely accidental appears to indicate that the usual lack of relevant analysis can in fact be appropriate, such as when latching onto a conclusion so highly dubious that it defies relationship with any rational process that could conceivably be based on a non-delusional premise.

Actually the joke's on me, as when I wrote that, I believed that you had started this thread.
You know I'm just messing with you, right?

[Walker]

I should hope so, if you have any measure of couth.

Seriousness is situationally inappropriate.
