    An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. First guy orders a beer. Every other guy orders half the amount of beer as the guy before him. The bartender, fed up, says just order two beers!

    “Our dancers have infinite curves” is clearly hyperbole.

    Are you just gonna sit there like an undergrad and clumsily perform a naive mapping of my topological space, or are you gonna use your brain a bit, and exhaustively define a continuous homeomorphic equation to radically transform me into whatever shape you want?

    If you can make the key, you can unlock me, and then I can map to whatever you want me to be >:D

    I call BS unless their dancers demonstrate that they can at least pass a high school algebra test.

      Different numbers of holes though, gotta take homeomorphism into account.

        I don’t think women have a different number holes topographically speaking.

        The topologist can’t tell his coffee cup from his doughnut.

          Generally, biologically speaking:

          Men have a urethra and an anus.

          Women have a urethra, and anus, and a vagina.

          Presumably, discounting mutations, birth defects, serious injuries, etc, most people have the same number of uh… head/face holes.

          …

          Allowing for rarer cases:

          Also… intersex people exist… there have been at least a few recorded instances of duplicate and/or forking dongs…

          And I guess we could also consider varying kinds of conjoined twins.

          …

          Also also, we could argue about whether milk producing mammaries constitute a topological ‘hole’.

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

            Vaginas, milk ducts, pores, etc in a topological sense, are not holes, just dents, like the recepticle part of a cup with a handle.

            I mentioned noses and ears before deleting them, because the ENT region is really complicated for a non topologist/biologist to be able to tell if they can be interpreted as holes or not. Luckily for me in this discussion the system is identical for men and women.

              Derp.

              Looks like I need to complexify the manifolds of my own brain, haha!

                  Wait, the tear ducts count… but the eyesocket itself doesn’t?

                  Huh.

                  I would have intuitively thought the hole the optic nerve goes through counts, but I guess thats not really a uh, topologically true hole, as its mostly just a void in your skull.
