Ren?? Descartes: I can't believe I failed Modern Western Philosophy.
girl: Hey, it's Ren?? Descartes! "I think therefore I am," right? Fabulous!
Ren?? Descartes: Well, that particular pr??cis is usually misinterpreted, but...
girl: So if you stopped thinking, would you cease to exist? Ha!
Ren?? Descartes: No, that is exactly the kind of...
girl: Hey, where'd he go? He just disappeared! Maybe he fell asleep!

T-Rex: Descartes was a dude who wrote "Cogito ergo sum" which means "I think, therefore I am". PRETTY NEAT, cats and kittens!
T-Rex: But also...PRETTY FLAWED??
T-Rex: The whole deal with "I think, therefore I am" is that Descartes is all "DAAAAAAMN, I can't be sure of ANYTHING! My senses are flawed. All I know for sure is I keep STRESSIN' about this stuff!" and then his girlfriend is all "If you're so hung up on this then you must exist, huh baby?" and Descartes is all "Yes. That is true. I will write this down in Latin."
T-Rex: That is how it went down.
Utahraptor: So what's the problem, besides your unnecessary storytelling?
T-Rex: Descartes' girlfriend!
T-Rex: She's making a huge logical leap! It's indisputible that thinking is going on, right, but we don't know for sure that Descartes is doing the thinking! All we know for sure is that thinking is going on.
Utahraptor: I agree!
T-Rex: R-Really?
Utahraptor: Yeah! You can't have thinking in a vacuum, so SOMETHING must exist if there's thinking going on...
T-Rex & Utahraptor: ...but to attribute that thinking to yourself just because you're aware of it is an awful big leap for a skeptic to make!
T-Rex: OH MY GOODNESS HOW DID WE JUST DO THAT

#200 Seriously
So, I'm reviewing this paper and right in the middle of it, they've pasted a comic where the punchline is 8==D.
I mean seriously. Dick jokes in a math journal?
These journals used to be so much more respectable. What ever happened to the dignity of pure research?
You'd never have seen this sort of thing back in the good old days. Descartes, Fermat, Desargues... those guys took things seriously.
Somewhere in 17th Century France
OK OK. Ha! How about, "I have discovered a truly marvelous proof that it is impossible to separate a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into two fourth powers, or in general, any power higher than the second into two like powers. But I'm not going to tell you." It'll drive them nuts!
Wait! Make that, "This margin is too narrow to contain it."
Awesome!
