    I keep going around the forums and I just notice that if μ look at the average, it's mean. I'm not saying that people can't be helpful or nice or that everyone's bad, but it just seems that average is mean. μ know what I'm saying?

    So disappointed with myself. I remember math enough to get the gist of this, but not enough to play along! Dammit :sad:

    A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician are sitting in a street café watching people entering and leaving the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people entering the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three people leaving the house. The physicist says, "The measurement wasn't accurate." The biologist says, "They must have reproduced." The mathematician says, "If one more person enters the house then it will be empty."

    Heisenberg picked up Schroedinger and they went out for a drive one day. After a little while, a police car pulled them over. The cop approached the door, and asked, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replied, "No, but I know where I am." The cop thinks this is peculiar and says, "I'm sorry, I need to search the vehicle." He opens the trunk, and examines it. He looks at Schroedinger and asks, "Are you aware that there is a dead cat in there?" Schroedinger replies, "Well, I am now."

    The distribution here is not normal. Definitely skewed with a lot of nonstandard deviants.

    The cumulative relative frequency of high density elements in this thread is taking on a disturbingly upward trend.


    I've resisted thsi for a long time, but what are you ready for? Zombies? Apocolypse? What is it?

    I'm ready for...

    The population variable of this group is mostly their deviance.

    Yeah that seems kind of ridiculous since we're all here for the same reason. We should encourage, not discourage each other. OK that was like a Hallmark card. Sorry about that.

    How do mathematicians solve constipation? Same way they solve everything, they work it out with a pencil.

    Seriously, screw you, and your math problems. It's too early/late/median for this.

    You'll screw me for math problems?

    yes but more importantly, e^(pi*i) - 1 = 0 just ask Farris Euler.

    I'm pretty sure that wasn't mine. I stayed away from the serious posts. I think I started with one of those lame *kitten* song title things... Hard to remember.

    I completely agree. I feel like this site needs two different types of message boards. One in which people give their sarcastic remarks for a laugh, and the other in which people can get genuine help from others. I get the need to kick back and enjoy, but not at the expense of others. The emotional intelligence on this site is often lacking.

    that's a good idea! the forum where people can have fun and post gifs and not have to worry about offending people should be called something like.. oh, i don't know... how about, "Chit Chat, Fun, and Games"? just so there's no way anybody could possibly be confused about the purpose of threads in there.

    I just showed this to my husband.

    His response

    "I can't see the whole thing."

    He tried to scroll down and looked at me confused.

    That's because 10 out of every 6 people do not understand statistics.

    Just curious as to why people consider disagreeing as mean? THAT seems to be the real issue here. Just because someone doesn't agree with you or offers an opinion that you may not like, that doesn't make it mean.

    OK, for those people who either don't read all the posts or just don't get it---

    THE ORIGINAL POST WAS A MATH JOKE CENTERED AROUND THE MATHEMATICAL TERM "MEAN". "MEAN" is a math term that means the average.

    And it was truly an awesome joke and led to a truly entertaining thread.

    Why is 6 afraid of 7?
    Because seven eight nine.

    What did 0 say to 8?
    "Nice belt."

    And now for the song...

    6 and 9, they both have a line. But there the similarity stops.
    'Cause the 6 has the circle at the bottom of the line, and the nine has the circle at the top.
