Nothing says "serious mathematics" like illustrating your groundbreaking number theory paper with... *checks notes*... "A Strange Tractor." Mathematicians spent 358 years trying to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, and then Andrew Wiles comes along with farm equipment riding chaos theory curves. This is what happens when you let mathematicians have access to clip art after they've been staring at equations for too long. The tractor isn't even hauling the proof—it's just vibing on what appears to be a Lorenz attractor. Next breakthrough paper: "The Riemann Hypothesis: As Demonstrated By My Cat Wearing Sunglasses."
