    An Indian chief had three wives, all of which gave birth. The first had a boy and the chief built her a teepee of deer hide. The second also had a boy and the chief built her a teepee of antelope hide. When the third gave birth, the chief built her a two story teepee, made out of a hippopotamus hide. The chief then challenged the tribe to guess what had occurred.

    Many tried, unsuccessfully. Finally, one young brave declared that the third wife had given birth to twin boys. 'Correct,' said the chief. 'How did you figure it out?'

    The warrior answered, 'It's elementary. The value of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.'

        Did you hear about the mathematician who was afraid of negative numbers?

        He would stop at nothing to avoid them.

                  Yes and all that probably changed with IPv6 but I still thought it was funny.

                    It is funny. I was just pointing out that the mask will not be a good filter. lol

                            Yeah, the geekage is reduced because it’s stuck on IPv4.
                            Here’s an IPv6 version:

                            Stay at ::1
                            Wear a 2001:1111:2222:3333::/64

                                  I believe the authors describe the distance rules as they apply on non-Euclidean manifolds.
