A mathematician, an engineer, and a physicist all agree: Platonic Realms cooks up new jokes, puns, and limericks every day! 


Joke o'the Day:

A physicist and a mathematician were sitting in the faculty lounge when the trash bin caught fire from a smoldering cigarette butt. The physicist grabbed a bucket, leapt towards the sink, filled the bucket with water, and threw it on the bin, puttng out the fire. A few days later, the trash bin again caught on fire. This time the mathematician jumped up, grabbed the bucket, and handed it to the physicist, thereby reducing the problem to one already solved.


A Lame One:

Question: What do you get when you divide the circumference of a jack-o-lantern by its diameter?
    Answer: Pumpkin Pi.



Poetry Corner:

A mathematician named Joe,
Said “Really it just can't be so;
     My wife, for her sins,
     Is going to have twins,
And 2 into 1 doesn't go!”



How They Do It:

Geometers do it with involutions.
