A Little 'Geek' humour.

[Nitsuard]

This thread remins me of an event last year in a local resturant where a family of four was seated. father and son on one side and mother and daughter on the other. The boy's back was exposed to my view from where I sat, and I could see the entire back of his shirt. It consisted of a lower case 'e' at the bottom left just above his belt, and the rest of his shirt consisted of a giant question mark from collar to waiist.

I approached their table, excused the interruption, and said: "Your shirt has a message which may or may not be what you have intended. I says to me: Do You Speak GEEK?".

The boy smiled, his father and daughter laughed aloud, and the Mother just sat there, dunb-founded. I suspect we all had a good laugh, more at the joke than at the mother's dismay.

Sometimes it seems that a joke will go everybody's head and no ever gets it. In this case, and since no one has decided to explain it, I will try: -- The lower case 'e' has recently become associated with the 'electronic' revolution. Ever since 3 or 4 electronic engineers left GE to form Texas Instruments (back in the early '50), the digital numbering system called 'base e', i.e. numbers like 0000000001 as distinct from 0000000010, and coupled-together with a 'left/right' hand-clasp, modern electronics simply took-off, resulting in the building of the Cray computer in Belgium, Microsoft, etc. ALL THIS, mine you, just from the little letter 'e'.
All this from an obscure little-known mathematical formulation known only to a few 'geekie' electronic engineers.....

NOW ARE BEGINNING TO GET THE POINT????
