So Noah lands the ark, and tells all the animals to go forth, be fruitful, and mulitply. A little while later he walks around checking things out. The rabbits are [CENSORED] like rabbits, the minks are [CENSORED] like minks, and pretty much all the animals are doing the wild thing...
Except for one pair of snakes.
Noah asks them, "Didn't I tell you to be fruitful and multiply?"
The snakes reply, "We can't. We're adders!"
So Noah goes off and thinks for a bit. He chops down a tree, cuts it into logs, and builds a picnic table from the logs. He tells the snakes, "Why don't you try over here?"
The snakes go over to the table. A few hours later, he comes back, and sure enough, the snakes are . . . er, ahhhhhhh . . . being fruitful.
Which just goes to show . . .
wait for it . . .
Even adders can multiply using log tables!
GROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You used it, Kay. I don't know why I got such a kick out of this except that my ex was a mathematician who became a computer scientist. One time he had a dream and was mumbling about propping his adder in the corner. I asked him about it the next day and he said it was a math thing. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... quite clever, I'd say.
ReplyDeletegreat minds think alike, Kay!

ReplyDeleteCute, I liked it
Haha... It's a good sine that it didn't go off at a tangent!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Noah could have used subtraction on those rabbits. ;-)
