It is really funny: Nano, Emacs, Vim, Ed, Cat are text editors in Linux some programmers use for coding, each one with less editing tools than the other, just a bunch of weird commands and key combinations, and no GUI (graphical user interface). But the guy using butterflies, making fun of the misunderstanding most people make about chaos and the butterfly effect, that is funny, specially by the fact that Emacs, the keystone of the most expert programmers, already seems to have an abstruse command to do it.However, the funnier thing to me is the level of convoluted computer and mathematical nerdiness one has to exhume to find it hilarious, that is, my friends. They also like football: Nobody is perfect. Common people wrongly think geeks are not funny, but the truth is that what is not funny is most common people. Proof: the monkeys in any Reality TV.
This one is even greater: The only idea of imagining Kurt Gödel, the Austrian mathematician that starved to death because he was so obsessed about being poisoned that stopped eating, talking about a list of his sexual paraphilias paraphrasing his Incompleteness Theorem with Bertrand Russell and A.N. Whitehead, which had tried and failed to establish the foundations of mathematical logic, is simply off the scale!PS: Katharine Gates apparently wrote a book, Deviant Desires, about incredible strange sex practices, though a Bill Gate's daughter's name is also Katharine. Any second hidden meaning? Sure.
