Science Jokes

This Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic apparently inspired some guy to start up a wiki documenting the best science jokes with detailed explanations and sources. I've only been on there a couple of hours, but I've seen some good stuff. And learned a whole bunch too. Check it out here. Also, here you go:

C++ programmers do it with class.
Classical geometers do it on a plane.
Commutative algebraists do it regularly.
Complex analysts do it between the sheets.
Computer scientists do it by brute force.
Cryptographers do it with zero-knowledge.
Linear programmers do it with nearest neighbors.
(Logicians do it) or [not (logicians do it)].
Mathematical physicists understand the theory of how to do it, but have difficulty obtaining practical results.
Mathematicians have to prove they did it.
Statisticians probably do it.
Statisticians would like to do it with the entire population, but can only get a small sample.
