(Off-Topic) Math Joke

For my first message of 2004, I'm starting with a joke (also testing the new email settings):

A mathematician, a biologist, and a statistician are watching people going in and coming out of a building on the other side of the street.

They see two people going in - after a while three people come out.

The biologist concludes, "They're mating!"

The statistician says, "No, no, no - the measurement wasn't accurate."

The mathematician says, "If someone else goes in, it'll be empty." Received on Thu Jan 01 23:04:00 2004
