Job Security Through Unprovability
Mathematicians breathing a collective sigh of relief that Gödel's Undecidability Theorem ensures job security forever. "Thank goodness some problems are literally impossible to solve—otherwise we'd all be replaced by a calculator app!" The highlighted text is basically saying "Don't worry fellow math nerds, computers can't solve everything, so our paychecks are safe!" It's the mathematical equivalent of dinosaurs celebrating the asteroid that wiped out automation.

True Love Proved With Logic And Mathematics
The ultimate proof that math and logic can lead to tragically flawed conclusions! Kurt Gödel, brilliant enough to revolutionize mathematical logic with his incompleteness theorems, yet somehow deduced that starving himself was the logical solution when his wife was hospitalized. Talk about an ironic demonstration of his own work—some systems (like his paranoid reasoning) can't prove their own consistency! Turns out even geniuses have bugs in their human operating systems. The man who proved there are true statements that cannot be proven apparently couldn't prove his dinner wasn't poisoned. Mathematical brilliance: 100. Survival instincts: 404 not found.
