The Way I Do It

A biologist, a statistician, and a mathematician are sitting at a cafe. Across the street, a man and a woman enter a building; ten minutes later, they emerge with a child.

"They've reproduced," says the biologist.

"No," says the statistician. "It's an observational error. On average, 2.5 people went each way."

"You're both wrong," says the mathematician. "The conclusion is obvious. If someone goes in now, the building will be empty."

Messages From The Ancients

While walking home from downtown today, and carrying a new
pocket camera, I came across some cryptic messages under a bridge.


These symbols were obviously left for us by the Ancients,
hoping that we would find them in our time of need.


And I found them just in time.

Please apply them immediately, with vigor.
