You know, they say that math puns are the first sine of insanity.
Heisenberg was speeding down the freeway one day and a police officer pulled him over. When asked if he knew how fast he was going he replied, "No, but I do know where I am."
An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are trying to set up a fenced-in area for some sheep, but they have a limited amount of building material. The engineer gets up and builds a square fence, reasoning that it's a pretty good working solution. "No, no," said the physicist, "there's a better way." He takes the fence and makes a circular pen, showing that it encompasses the maximum amount of space with the given material. Then the mathematician speaks up and says, "No, there's an even better way." To the others amusement he proceeds to construct a tiny fence around himself, and then declares, "I define myself to be on the outside."
There you go, you got your nerdy amusement.
The inflation rate in Zimbabwe just hit 4 million percent. Some people say it is only 165,000, but they are just being stupid. -Scott Adams, artist and writer of Dilbert
