Just some ramblingz...

An assemblage of the most gifted minds in the world were all posed the following question:

"What is 2 + 2 ?"

The engineer whips out his slide rule (so it's old) and shuffles it back and forth, and finally announces "3.99".

The physicist consults his technical references, sets up the problem on his computer, and announces "it lies between 3.98 and
4.02".

The mathematician cogitates for a while, oblivious to the rest of the world, then announces: "I don't know what the answer is, but I can
prove an answer exists!".

Philosopher: "But what do you mean by 2 + 2 ?"

Logician: "Please define 2 + 2 more precisely."

Accountant: Closes all the doors and windows, looks around carefully then asks "What do you want the answer to be?"


When considering the behaviour of a howitzer:

     A mathematician will be able to calculate where the shell will land
     A physicist will be able to explain how the shell gets there
     An engineer will stand there and try to catch it


What is "pi"?

     Mathematician: Pi is the number expressing the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter.
     Physicist: Pi is 3.1415927plus or minus 0.000000005
     Engineer: Pi is about 3.


Q. What do a mathematician and a physiscist [or engineer, or musician , or whatever the profession of the person adressed]
have in common?
A. They are both stupid, with the exception of the [other profession].
