Why isn't there a Nobel prize in mathematics? Because even mathematicians haven't found out a way to bash America using only numbers?
To: coloradan
Because a mathematician ran away with Nobel's wife.

That is THE best reason to study math, engineering or physics. Libs can't figure out how to manipulate it.
