grasshoppers don't like infinity

in my seventh grade math class, i heard my first version of zeno's paradox in the form of a thirsty grasshopper. a tired grasshopper wants to drink water that is some distance away. he can only jump half the distance to the water, because he is tired. but he is even more exhausted after the first jump and can only jump half of the remaining distance the next time, then half of that distance the next jump, then half, etc... will the thirsty grasshopper ever reach the water?

my answer was no.

but what about when it comes to mathematicians and beer?


haha! more dork jokes here.

joke found thru talk like a physicist.
