HUMOR
Anterean humor
Explanation of scientist jargon:
TRIVIAL - I didn't actually prove this but I think it would work out.
CLEARLY - I would need two more pages to prove this so I'll just skip to the next part.
SKETCH OF A PROOF - I couldn't actually understand the proof myself so I just broke it down to some general parts.
PATHOLOGICAL CASE - counterexample
THIS COULD LEAD TO GREAT ADVANCES IN THIS FIELD - I don't actually know what it's good for so perhaps someone else will figure it out.
(Please note: This joke dates back to antiquity. In today's atmosphere, it is unthinkable for an Anterean to muddle the truth in scientific papers. Honestly.)

Anterean humor
There used to be times before the advent of knowledge when earning one's pay was tough and a factory just created several job openings for manual workers. The job was tedious and repetitive, but it paid more than university did for research so this mathematics professor took it.

One day, the factory opened evening elementary math classes for the workers and offered extra pay to those who attend. So the professor did, but it was boring and he soon feel asleep. The teacher noticed and called him to the blackboard, asking him to compute the circumference of a circle.

The professor couldn't think of the formula off the top of his head, so he decided to derive it from the general equation of the circle. After some writing, he ended up with -2*r*pi. He wondered how did the minus sign appear in there when a voice came from the back row: "You forgot to invert the integration interval."

Anterean humor
An engineer believes his equations are an approximation of reality.
A physicist believes reality is an approximation of his equations.
A mathematician does not care.

Golem humor
"I put the go in golem. That was humor. Other golems find that to be appropriately funny."
