Maths jokes!

I don't know how to make a sticky - is it only moderators can do that? [edit: posted back when I was a relative newb!] Anyway, I think a sticky for maths jokes would be good. Here's one to start, (an oldie but goodie!) There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who know binary and those who don't.

Q: What does the little mermaid wear?
A: An algae-bra.

I get it! I sooo get it!! It's because she's a mermaid and lives in the sea. She can't just go to Pennies and get her clothes there so she has to make one from algae. Totally!

Never argue with a 90-degree angle; it's always right!

That's brilliant! And would make a really good aid for enabling students to get an intuitive feel for what the algebraic expression of Pythagoras' Theorem states.

What witchcraft is this? Obviously a fake, as Pythagoras relates to lines, not area or volumes...
(Kidding! It's a great visual aid - I'll get my coat)
