Shoulder The Burden Of This Pun

The swing set with a brick wall directly behind it perfectly captures the medical school experience! You're given the equipment to swing (study medicine), but there's a solid brick wall of impossible exams, endless memorization, and sleep deprivation waiting to smack you in the face. Medical students get just enough momentum to feel hopeful before—WHAM—another anatomy quiz! The perfect metaphor for spending $200,000 on tuition just to repeatedly concuss yourself against biochemistry pathways.

EUREKA! Someone finally "solved" infinity! *maniacal laughter* This mathematical madness takes a perfectly valid formula for summing finite numbers and then applies it to infinity with the subtlety of a wrecking ball! The proof starts with a correct formula, then veers into the mathematical twilight zone by claiming that 1+2+3+... equals -1/12 (which is actually a famous result in string theory, but NOT in the way shown here). Then it performs quadratic formula gymnastics to "calculate" infinity as -0.2113... Absolute numerical nonsense! It's like trying to measure the universe with a broken ruler while riding a unicycle. No Fields Medal for you, but perhaps a Nobel Prize in Creative Mathematics?

The ancient Egyptians built pyramids to last millennia, but this poor egyptologist's career prospects crumbled faster than papyrus in water! The punchline is *chef's kiss* brilliant - studying ancient pyramid builders only to become trapped in a modern pyramid scheme of academia. It's the perfect storm of irony where you need a PhD just to teach others to get degrees they can't use! The academic circle of life, but with more student debt and fewer job prospects than a mummy's tomb raider. Somewhere, Anubis is cackling at this cosmic joke.

Physics students processing wave interference patterns through primate philosophy. The top shows constructive interference where waves align perfectly and amplify each other ("together strong"), while the bottom shows destructive interference where waves cancel each other out ("together weak"). The real genius is using ape wisdom to simplify a concept that has terrorized undergrads since time immemorial. Next lecture: quantum entanglement explained through cat memes.

Mathematicians turning their noses up at peasant-level notation! The top panel shows the disgust at writing multiplication as "a×b" or addition as "a+b" — how crude and explicit! But that bottom panel? Pure ecstasy at the elegant "ab" and "a/b" notation. Why waste precious symbols when implicit is so much sexier? It's like mathematicians get a dopamine hit every time they can remove a symbol and make their equations more cryptic to the uninitiated. Less is more... unless you're trying to understand what the heck they're talking about.

The mathematical equivalent of taking a bullet for someone. While math students peacefully slumber, Leonhard Euler stands triumphantly ablaze, having derived multiple notations and formulas that students would otherwise have to create themselves. The man invented so many mathematical concepts they ran out of symbols and had to name things after him twice. Students think learning "e" is hard? Imagine having to discover it.
