Many, many years ago, I can still remember my Math’s teacher will always debate with my Science teacher about who field of expertise is the more pure.

Even to now, I have always sided that maths is the more pure (You can tell what I am best at can’t ya ;)). Anyway, below is a little comic that shows what I mean. (Click it to make it bigger).

This comic comes from xkcd. This comic may also have a different licence for use then Snat.co.uk.
