Combinatorialists and analysts always have different names for everything, in order to keep themselves from interacting.

I described to my patent lawyer our new algorithm-that I was hoping to patent- about detecting clustering, that involved three probabilities α , β, γ that add-up to 1, and mentioned that it is like "a three-sided coin". A few days later he came up with a patent application for a "three-sided-coin".

Theoretical Computer Science is just as useless as everything we mathematicians do.

I don't know whether guys are more promiscuous or just bigger liars.

With a metric you can really go to town, otherwise it is just abstract nonsense.

Always try to innovate. If you lose your old fitness, you lose out to Bose-Einstein condensation. I am sure that companies that go under would feel better if they knew that they were victims of Bose-Einstein condensation.

It is cheaper to pay mathematicians and computer scientists to design algorithms that will eliminate webspamming, rather than to pay lawyers to do lawsuits.
