Shecky, who blogs at Math Frolic had a link to a site with some math jokes... This was the one that gave me the best chuckle.
Addendum: My Apologies to Steven Colyer whose blog "Multiplication by Infinity" is the blog I linked to above. Sorry not to have credited Steven in the first place... just must have been a busy day. Mia Culpa

Hey, that's MY blog you linked to, "Multiplication by Infinity"! Lol, glad you liked it, I am honored. I'm following your blog now, could you and Shecky return the favor?
Steven,
Sorry, I will make sure I give you credit, although it must be driving some folks your way, I get more hits on the cartoons than the substance... And thanks for following, and will certainly return the favor.

No apology necessary. I'm just an elvish archer of a scout in the forest of ignorance, beginning with my own. Much appreciated and thanks for joining. I like this website as well, being a geometer at heart.
Speaking of which, have you seen or read the book The Shape of Things published just this year by Shing-Tung Yau of Harvard Math and Steve Nadis? Yau proved Calabi's Conjecture, hence the familiar "Calabi-Yau" manifold (n-6) used in String Theory, a theory whose maths may seem intimidating, because they are a bit, but C-Y I'm sure will have other uses. I'm not a fan of String Theory, as I'm a tad partial to theories that can actually predict something.
The book however, is fantastic. Yau considers himself a geometer, and he's a legend in Geometry.
Are you a high school math teacher? I get that impression. I'm shooting for being a teacher myself, perhaps Calc 1 at a local junior college. We'll see.
Nice family btw. I'm also married to a brunette beauty. Looks like you have 2 kids and 2 grandkids. Good for you, and cheers.
