Hello, John and Doves,
While you are waiting for the Rapture to happen...
Non-mathematician's math[edit]
This
category of jokes comprises those that exploit common misunderstandings
of mathematics, or the expectation that most people have only a basic
mathematical education, if any.
A museum visitor was admiring a Tyrannosaurus
fossil, and asked a nearby museum employee how old it was. "That
skeleton's sixty-five million and three years, two months and eighteen
days old," the employee replied. "How can you know it that well?" she
asked. "Well, when I started working here, I asked a scientist the exact
same question, and he said it was sixty-five million years old—and that
was three years, two months and eighteen days ago."[20]
The joke is that the employee fails to understand the scientist's implication of the uncertainty in the age of the fossil and uses false precision.
