<p>and Jokes:</p>

<p>So, an infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second one orders half of a beer. The third one orders a quarter of a beer. The bartender rolls his eyes and pours two beers.</p>

<p>An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician all forget to turn off their ovens one evening and go to bed. All three of them later wake up to find their smoke alarms going off and their kitchens on fire.
The engineer runs into the kitchen, sees a fire extinguisher, and uses it to put out the fire.
The physicist runs into his kitchen, doesn’t notice the fire extinguisher, but quickly rigs up a siphon using water pressure from his kitchen sink to put out the fire instead.
The mathematician runs into his kitchen, notices the fire extinguisher, proclaims “Ah ha, a solution exists!”, and promptly goes back to bed.</p>

<p>Another physicist joke:</p>

<p>Heisenberg is driving down a highway. The police stops him and the policeman asks: “Do you know how fast you were going?”</p>

<p>He replies: “No, but I know exactly where I am.”</p>
