A biologist, a physicist, and a mathematician are sitting in an outdoor cafe. They watch two people go into a building across the street. Shortly thereafter, three people come out.
“Hmm,” says the biologist. “It looks like they reproduced.”
“Nah,” says the physicist. “There was obviously error in our initial measurement.”
The mathematician looks up from his coffee. “Who cares? If another person goes in, it’ll be empty.”

Finally some information about global warming that is easy to get. I wonder if Al Gore uses this…

A professor of mathematics sent a fax to his wife. It read:
“Dear wife: You must realize that you are 54 years old and I have certain needs which you are no longer able to satisfy. I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and I sincerely hope you will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my18 year old teaching assistant. I’ll be home before midnight. Your Husband”
When he arrived at the hotel, there was a faxed letter waiting for him that read as follows:
“Dear Husband: You too are 54 years old, and by the time you receive this, I will be at the Breakwater Motel with the 18 year old pool boy. Being the brilliant mathematician that you are, you can easily appreciate the fact that 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Don’t wait up.”
