Re: Intelligent humor
That is amusing. I had heard the Sodium joke before but I had forgotten the explanation. Glad that was cleared up in short order.
I also liked this one:
An engineer and a mathematician are competing for a beautiful woman. The engineer and the mathematician are told, “You can go to her, but you must travel this way; go half the distance, and then stop; then go half the remaining distance and stop; go half the remaining distance, and then stop, and so on.”
The mathematician never starts, because he knows he can never reach her. But the engineer takes off running, because he knows that he can get close enough for practical purposes.

Engineering is the art of making what you want from what you can get at a profit.
