The humor is implicit. "all the girls in the CS department" is either the empty set or (just possibly) a singleton set.
A venerable old math/logic joke. But I know that if my advisor were to encounter such a thing he would write "Fully apposite?" in the margin, and I would realize it was undercutting my message a bit and come up with something better. What about? "People hang on his every line; but usually he needs just one." "He can write Lisp programs, in C." "He once had a seg fault, just to see how it feels." Stuff like that seems pretty easy to come up with. - mulhern On Dec 20, 2012, at 12:08 AM, Justin Zamora wrote: > > On Dec 19, 2012 11:02 PM, "Matt Jadud" <m...@jadud.com> wrote: > > And, watching a bunch of the videos, they are funny because they are > > *extremely* over the top.
