It’s not your typical surfer/snowboarder’s theory of everything. You know what I mean. It’s the real deal. Has something to do with E8. That’s the pretty drawing below but not really because it’s only two-dimensions. E8 has, well, eight dimensions. Supposed to be simpler than string theory and better. I need a 2-minute video.

Did you get it? There’s more math humor on Eric Postpischil’s Math page. I had to dredge up ancient studies in differential equations to get some of them.

This is a sample from one of my all time favorite humor sites, Indexed.com, where Jessica Hagy puts the fun into Venn diagrams.
