stumbled upon these great dorky mathematical jokes. Here are a few that just tickled me! enjoy! (via)
Why do mathematicians always confuse Halloween and Christmas?
Because 31 Oct = 25 Dec.
The humor lies in the fact that Halloween occurs on October 31 and Christmas occurs on December 25, thus equating "oct" in October and octal, and "dec" in December and decimal. (This one is also often attributed to computer scientists: Real programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas — because dec(25) = oct(31).)
