A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a young man asks a professor, "Professor why are they called irrational numbers?" Panel 2: the professor, a woman in glasses, replies, "Have you ever tried talking to one?" Panel 3: the student says "What?" and the professor says "Here, hold on." Panel 4: she draws the square-root-of-2 symbol (√2) on a chalkboard, and a speech bubble coming from the number says, "If evolution is true, how come there's still fish?"—the joke being that irrational numbers literally argue irrationally. Votey (aftercomic): another chalkboard drawing of √2 with a speech bubble reading, "How come the flag on the Moon stayed up when there's no atmosphere."
