Humour?¶
116 words
All right, scientists and mathematicians have a strange sense of humour. And even though the creators of the Simpsons like it, many people just don’t think it’s funny. Unfortunately I have to chuckle with most of those jokes. And what kind of sick mathematician’s humour is required to make people chuckle about this stupid ad?
(admittedly I ‘found’ this in a math journal rather than spotting it myself – and I’m still not sure that it’s actually funny…)
If the joke isn’t obvious, compare it to the image of a similar drawing done by someone who is capable of observing things / good at graphics. Image from: A. Frutiger. Der Mensch und seine Zeichen, 1989.
