  1. Stardate 7578.23 -- The Enterprise encounters a race known as the Quaternions, who are invited for dinner and a tour. The Quaternions abruptly change their personality depending on what they're doing, from diplomacy to observation to problem solving.

    Dr. Crusher discovers that they have evolved an advanced form of multiple personality disorder, with each Quaternion having a Real part and three Imaginary parts.

    "Wait until you meet the Octonions,” one said.

    Please feel free to adapt this to other media as desired. My idea: A New Yorker single-panel cartoon. Storm Troopers on the left, Darth Zeno (a ancient #Greek #philosopher in toga and sandals with a half-helmet open to see his high brow and classical beard) in the middle and #LandoCalrissian on the right with the caption and the quote as above.

  10. Oh no, I want to make a game with a race of robots that go by numerical designations, just to make number puns.

    Person 1: meet the team. These are SK units 111, 333, 555, 777, and 999. Also known as Ones, Threes, Fives, Sevens, and Nines

    Person 2: Interesting unit composition

    P1: Yeah, they did that themselves

    P2: Really?

    P1: Yeah, they're an odd bunch

    I'm boosting, not because of what you wrote, but because of that hilarious handle:
    log 😅 = 💧 log 😄

    That is brilliant!

    I'm going to go boost all the posts where that appears.
    In other words, all your posts.
    :)
    (Not really. But thanks for making my day!)

  14. Q: Did you hear about the topologist who was shot?

    A: No! Was he okay?

    Q: Oh, he walked away from it! He proved on the spot that since the bullet didn't exit, that means there is no hole; Q.E.D.

    ETA: wow i forgot an image description on this one... and now I'm thinking of making this corny drawing I made to annoy my students into a 3D printed two-sided square keychain with these motifs in raised relief on each side... could be a nice graduation gif. They HATE this joke.
