    Top ten reasons why e is inferior to pi

    10) e is less challenging to spell than pi.
    9) e ~=2.718281828459045, which can be easily memorized to its billionth place, whereas pi needs "skills" to be memorized.
    8) The character for e is so cheap that it can be found on a keyboard.
    But pi is special (it's under "special symbols" in word processor programs.)
    7) Pi is the bigger piece of pie.
    6) e has an easy limit definition and infinite series. The limit definition of pi and the infinite series are much harder.
    5) e you understand what it is even though you start learning it late when you're in pre-calculus.
    But pi, even after five or six years it's still hard to know what it really is.
    4) People mistakenly confuse Euler's Number (e) with Euler's Constant (gamma). There is no confusion with the one and only pi
    3) e is named after a person, but pi stands for itself.
    2) Pi is much shorter and easier to say than "Euler's Number".
    1) To read pi, you don't have to know that Euler's name is really pronounced Oiler.

    "Labgrumping"

    We wash the plates again, we pour the gels again,
    we wash the gels again, we flip the combs again,

    Then we retrack and extract all the gel files,
    then we analyze and dump all the sample files.

    No life for me, life for me, life for meeee....

    Here is a teaching tip for physics professors: When a student tries to paraphrase something you have just taught, feed her or him the following line: "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

    This will guarantee that the student will not interrupt your class again until the next semester...

    Murphy's Ten Laws for String Theorists:

    (1) If you fix a mistake in a mathematical superstring calculation, another one will show up somewhere else.
    (2) If your results are based on the work of others, then one such work will turn out to be wrong. (3) The longer your article, the more likely your computer hard disk drive will fail while you are typing the references.
    (4) The better your research result, the more likely it will be rejected by the referee of a journal; on the other hand, if your work is wrong but not obviously so, it will be accepted for publication right away.
    (5) If a result seems to good to be true, it is unless you are one of the top ten string theorists in the world. (By the way, these theorists refer to their results as "string miracles".)
    (6) Your most startling string-theoretic theorem will turn out to be valid in only two spatial dimensions or less.
    (7) When giving a string seminar, nobody will follow anything you say after the first minute, but, if miraculously someone does, then that person will point out a flaw in your reasoning half-way through your talk and what will be worse is that your grant review officer will happen to be in the audience.
    (8) For years, nobody will ever notice the fudge factors in your calculations, but when you come up for tenure they will surface like fish being tossed fresh breadcrumbs.
    (9) If you are a graduate student working on string theory, then the field will be dead by the time you get your Ph.D.; Even worse, if you start over with a new thesis topic, the new field will also be dead by the time you get your Ph.D.
    (10) If you discover an interesting string model, then it will predict at least one low-energy, observable particle not seen in Nature.

    In summary, anything in string theory that theoretically can go wrong will go wrong, but if nothing does go theoretically wrong, then experimentally it is ruled out...

    The cynical math professor said,

    Some of my freshman math students are so clueless...
    They think General Calculus was a famous war hero!

    If General Calculus actually did exist,
    he probably knew how to integrate his troops together and differentiate between his enemies and his allies.

    The refrigerator now uses four times the power and has to be restarted every other time you open the door

    If a modern plant scientist has been locked in your refrigerator?
    All the vegetables look perfect, last forever and taste like nothing

    If an environmental scientist has been locked in your fridge?
    All the spills have been catalogued and there is a treatise on global warming half written in soy-sauce-based ink on the door

    If a M.Sc. student has been locked in your refrigerator?
    All the food is gone except for the healthy stuff

    And If a postdoc has been locked in your refrigerator?

    1. I won't stop bugging you until I get the address of your home page.

    2. You fascinate me more than the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

    3. Since distance equals velocity times time,
    let's let velocity and time approach infinity, because I want to go all the way with you.

    4. My love for you is like a concave up function because it is always increasing.

    5. Let's convert our potential energy to kinetic energy.

    6. How about you and I go back to my place and form a covalent bond?

    7. You and I would add up better than a Riemann sum.

    8. You're sweeter than glucose.

    9. Why don't we measure the coefficient of static friction between you and me?

    10. Your body has the nicest arc length I've ever seen.

    11. Isn't your e-mail address beautifulgirl#NoSpam.mydreams.com

    12. You're hotter than a bunsen burner set to full power!

    Title: A Sexual Encounter between a Capacitor and an Inductor

    One evening, with his charge at full capacity, Micro Farad decided to get a cute coil to discharge him. He went to the Magnet Bar to pick up a chip called Millie Amp. He caught her out back trying self induction; fortunately, she had not damaged her solenoid. The two took off on his megacycle and rode across the Wheatstone Bridge into a magnetic field, next to a flowing current , to watch the sine waves.

    Micro Farad was very much stimulated by Millie's characteristic curve. Being attractive himself, he soon had her field fully excited. He set her on the ground potential, raised his frequency, lowered her resistance, and pulled out his high voltage probe. When he inserted it in parallel, he short-circuited her shunt. Fully excited, Millie cried out, "ohm, ohm, give me mho". As he increased his tube to maximum output, her coil vibrated from the current flow. It did not take long for her shunt to reach maximum heat. Now with the excessive current shortening her shunt, Micro's capacity rapidly discharged – every electron was drained off. But that was not the end of it. Indeed, they fluxed all night, tried various connections and hookings until his bar magnet weakened, and he could no longer generate enough voltage to sustain his collapsing field. With his battery fully discharged, Micro was unable to excite his tickler, so they went home. A few weeks later, they were merged forever and oscillated happily ever after...

    Did you hear the one about the statistician?

    Probably....

    • "According to a recent poll, 51% of all Americans are in the majority."
    • I'm not an outlier; I just haven't found my distribution yet
    • "40% of the sick leaves are on a monday or friday. This must change"
    • Statistics means never having to say you're certain.
    • Statistics is the art of never having to say you're wrong.
    • Variance is what any two staticticians are at.
    • 97.3% of all statistics are made up.
    • I could prove God statistically.
    • 3 out of 4 Americans make up 75% of the population.
    • Death is 99 per cent fatal to laboratory rats.
    • There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
    • 80% of all statistics quoted to prove a point are made up on the spot.
    • A statistician can have his head in an oven and his feet in ice, and he will say that on the average he feels fine
    • A statistician is a person who draws a mathematically precise line from an unwarranted asumption to a foregone conclusion.
    • Torture the data long enough and they will confess to anything.

    Are statisticians normal? :p

    A physics professor, who was teaching a graduate course on superstring theory, decided to add an essay question to this year's final exam. The instructions read, "Describe the universe in 400 words or less and give three examples..."
