Ok, so I haven't blogged for a long time. Unfortunately, my life is darn boring, so unless you want to hear my wails about lecture notes and tutorials and how freaky Margaret Teng is, you'll have to settle for what I'm about to post now, which is about, well, you know what.
Another joke from the brilliant TA! :)
A MATHEMATICIAN SPEAKS
REPORTER: We are glad to have with us a Mathematician who can give us a unique perspective. Can you compare the 2007 French Open semifinalists? Federer and Davydenko, Nadal and Djokovic.
MATHEMATICIAN: It's 3 + 1!
REPORTER: 3 + 1? What do you mean?
MATHEMATICIAN: And you call yourself a reporter?
Language-wise, it's three non-French speakers and Federer.
Marital status-wise, it's three bachelors and Davydenko.
US legal drinking age-wise, it's three legals and Djokovic.
Astrology-wise, it's three Geminis and a Leo - Federer.
Hair color-wise, it's three black-haired fellows and blondish Davydenko.
Residence-wise, it's three who still live in their home country and Djokovic in Monaco.
REPORTER: Well, those things don't matter in clay-court tennis.
MATHEMATICIAN: Why didn't you get straight to the point?
REPORTER: Clay court tennis-wise?
MATHEMATICIAN: Clay court tennis-wise, it's three top-ten players who can play on clay and Nadal, the king of clay.
Ok, so it's not much of a joke, but that's how they classified it over at the VB forum, and who am I to argue with TA? Just love the ending. :)
Sorry, no post on RJ! I mean, what is there to say? Other than that I love 09S03D! :)
