Explain this joke
"A biologist, a physicist, and a mathematician were sitting in a street café watching the crowd. Across the street they saw a man and a woman entering a building. Ten minutes later they reappeared together with a third person. “They have multiplied,†said the biologist. “Oh no, an error in measurement,†the physicist sighed. “If exactly one person enters the building now, it will be empty again,†the mathematician concluded."
I don't get it. |
Are you wondering about the math bit? It's because you started with 0 (empty), you added 2, subtracted 3, and need to add another one to get it back to 0.

I get it xD
|
i... barely get it... xD but it doesnt seem funny since i had to strain my pathetic brain to understand it...
|
Eh, I don't think it is really meant to be funny, in the traditional sense. I think it's meant to be one of those "Ha! I understand it, therefore I am superior!" type jokes. The kind Mensa members like to tell each other. Humorless bastards.

Because a lot of mathematicians like to assume things.
