komplexify, great site for math humor.

komplexify, a blog of professional mathematician Travis. I first stumbled upon his site by visiting his math humor collection. xkcd is nice and all, but my hunger of math humor can't be fulfilled by it alone. Apparently, there are another post in his blog that filled with some of the best ones I have seen in months. My personal favorite is this one, it sparks my inspirational for new limit jokes.

Another one I would like to share:

Euler is pronounced

Euler is pronounced "oiler."
Euclid is pronounced "ue-clid."
Euler would think it would be pronounced "oiclid" because his "Eu" sounds like "oi" but in reality Euclid's "Eu" souds like ue.
