A physician, an engineer, and an attorney were discussing who among them belonged to the oldest of the three professions represented.
The physician said, "Remember, on the sixth day God took a rib from Adam and fashioned Eve, making him the first surgeon. Therefore, medicine is the oldest profession."
The engineer replied, "But, before that, God created the heavens and earth from chaos and confusion, and thus he was the first engineer. Therefore, engineering is an older profession than medicine."
Then, the lawyer spoke up. "Yes," he said, "But who do you think created all of the chaos and confusion?"

An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train in Scotland. The astronomer looks out of the window, sees a black sheep standing in a field, and remarks, "How odd. Scottish sheep are black."
"No, no, no!" says the physicist. "Only some Scottish sheep are black."
The mathematician rolls his eyes at his companions' muddled thinking and says, "In Scotland, there is at least one field, containing at least one sheep, at least one side of which appears black from here."

After a few moments the jogger responds, "You're in a hot-air balloon." The engineer says, "You must be a mathematician." The jogger, shocked, responds, "yeah, how did you know I was a mathematician?"
"Because, it took you far too long to come up with your answer, it was 100% correct, and it was completely useless."

"Well, it's not even difficult.
All I do is visualize the situation in n-dimensional space and then set n = 13."

Good morning everyboomie.
Another day, another 420,000 miles.
That's how far Voyager 1 travels in one day.
I was reading a story about Voyager 1 & 2, They have been traveling 420,000 miles a day for over 40 years, and still have to travel for another 18,000 years just to travel one light year.
They have been traveling away from our sun for over 40 years (almost 22 billion kilometers) , and the sun's light takes only 17 hours to reach them.
So, the light travels that far in 1 year. That's why those frying heat rays from the sun reach us in 8 minutes, and buddy there were a lot of those around here today. 102 degrees at 6:00.
Fortunately the cool rays from my air conditioner reach me in about 8 seconds.
Have a cool day everyone.
