On the Jesus-related subject, someone on a different forum raised this objection relating to Jesus's Road to Emmaus appearance after his resurrection

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to_Emmaus_appearance

My favourite part is how the disciplines didn't recognize Jesus despite spending the day on the road with him. It was only when he broke bread that they realized. That tells us several amazing things. Firstly, he looked like a completely different dude after the resurrection. Like people who lived with him couldn't tell. Hell, he might have been white pre resurrection and black after. Or a chick. Whatever. Secondly, he had such an unbelievably unique way of breaking bread that the logical conclusion wasn't "hey, did you grow up in Nazareth?" or "did you learn that from someone because I know a guy who broke it like that too?". The only logical conclusion that they could reach was that this man, or woman, who looked like a completely different person was the same person as Jesus, who they knew was dead, and that he must have come back, but looking differently.

We're talking something so incredibly unique that resurrection and transformation is more believable than it being replicated by anyone else. This breaking of the bread is world changing, it'll challenge everything you know about bread, breaking and the universe to the point that resurrection seems standard. And this was just how Jesus broke bread every time, they recognized that it was his special way of doing it.

I would love to know what that breaking involved. If he did it with his mind or if angels sliced it with flaming swords or whatever else I can't imagine which is more unbelievable than resurrection. If Jesus came back it's the breaking of the bread I'd want to see.

Well, there was that part where he fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread, so maybe he pulled that trick again?

That settles it.  Jesus was clearly pro-choice. Try explaining how he fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish without using Banach-Tarski.

More math jokes:

Three logicians walk into a bar and the bartender asks, "Would you all like a drink?"
The first one says "I'm not sure," the second says, "I'm also unsure."
The third says, "Yes."

One day Jesus was teaching the crowds, and at one point he says, "y = 3x2 - 4x + 1". His disciples, of course, have no idea what he's talking about.  They think maybe John will know something, so they ask him.  John says, "Don't worry.  It's just another one of his parabolas."
Could someone explain this joke to me so I can laugh at it?

You say "this objection", but what objection do you mean?  I don't see any objection in the linked page. It is part of the math joke that I don't get?

I feel I should post a joke since I'm posting in the joke thread.
...
sorry, can't think of any offhand, so I'll just quote a couple headlines from the Onion:
"Earthquake wipes out Etchasketchistan"
"Ninja Parade Slips By Town Unnoticed Once Again"

Um, yes, I got that part, I just don't get the math part. What's a "parabola" as opposed to a "parable"?

A parabola is the shape made by the graph of a quadratic function (i.e. something with an x2 term in it (and possibly linear and constant terms)).  Arguably the joke would have been more accurate if Jesus had said, "The graph of y=3x2-4x+1", rather than just saying the function by itself.

Another old joke I just remembered:

A lot of people don't know how Canada got its name.  It turns out, when it was first founded, its founders couldn't decide on a name.  After lots of heated discussions and some long brainstorming sessions, they finally decided that the best thing to do would be to just leave it up to chance.  So they mixed up all the letters and put them in a hat, and brought up a Canadian guy to pull them out.  He pulled the first letter and it was a C, so he said "C, eh?"  He pulled the next letter and it was an N, so he said, "N, eh?"  Finally he pulled the last letter and it was a D, so he said, "D, eh?"  And that's how Canada got its name!

EDIT: When I saw the names of the Tool song, I assumed that "parabola" was just "parable" in another language or something, but now I realize it's referring to some math formula shape. ...which doesn't make a lot of sense to me but it's not surprising from what I've heard about Maynard.

Current corporate-speak version maintains that he took five loafs and two fish and pirated them.

A guy sits on the balcony, and says to his girlfriend: „Hey Darling, I will smoke a giant monster-joint“.

And so he did.

Suddenly, a fireball flew through the sky!

He was impressed, and decided to smoke another giant monster-joint.

Then again, a fireball flew through the sky …

and after a third giant monster-joint:

once again, a fireball flew threw the sky.

Then, he said to his girlfriend: „Hey darling, I am terribly thirsty!“

She answers: "That doesn’t surprise me, given that you’ve been on the balcony for three days."

Two muffins are cooking in the oven.  The first says to the other one, "Hey, it's getting hot in here..."  The other replies, "Ah!!!  A talking muffin!!!"

Can someone explain this joke from page 1?

10th grade was a long time ago to remember math stuff I've never used since.

I'm so absent minded that when my teacher called the roll, the rock answered instead, and I forgot why this joke was funny.

A young boy asks a woman how old she is; she wants him to guess her age.

He says: "Hmmm, maybe you are 40 years old?"

She answers: "Well ... you're right, I am exactly 40 years old. But listen, if you want to be gentle, always guess 10 years less when guessing a womans age".

He replies: "Sorry ma'am, I tried to do so!"

I thought about pointing out that there probably are vastly more people on the globe that are familiar with parabolas than with Jesus (or at least, familiar enough to know he spoke in parables), but as the joke limits the audience to english speakers, and more, to the demographic of this forum, i wasn't sure anymore.

Well, I didn't know that the Jesus things were called "parables" in English (although it was not very hard to guess since I was familiar with the word from other contexts). I guess it's not a super good argument since Finnish seems to be one of the few languages where the word for parable does not resemble the English word, but it's not inconceivable that someone here would actually have to ask what sudgy thought LA was asking.

The right answer is to never give an answer when a woman asks you to guess her age. Or always say 21. The last time that happened to me, I thought she looked around 51-52, so I guessed 45. Turns out she was 38.

The difference between 45 and 38 doesn't sound like a big deal to me though.

I tend bar part time and I'm always surprised at the different reactions I get when I ask women to prove their age.  Twice in the past two weeks I asked women who both happened to be a very youthful 34 for their ID.  The first was thrilled, and I caught her telling her Dad, who came in later, the story.  The second woman was PISSED, like I'd done her bodily harm.  Go figure.

A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch.

"I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," she said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?"

"I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," he said. "I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise."

"That's amazing," the woman said. "How old are you?'

"Twenty-six."
