Ok, so for some reason, I just remembered an old joke one of my college physics professors once told on one of his lectures. I don't think too many people have heard it, and a lot of people won't get it; but If you know anything about René Descartes, you will get it, and I'll have an explanation for dummies after the punchline.
So René Descartes is hanging out at the Champs Éliysées (seriously two tildes in the same word? The French are crazy!), and he goes to his favorite coffee shop, and he orders a cup of coffee, and he starts working on his cartesian equations or whatever. After a while, he finishes his coffee, and the waiter comes over and asks him "would you like some more coffee." To which René Descartes replied "I think not."
And he was never seen again.
Explanation for dummies:
Besides inventing the cartesian coordinate system, René Descartes is also known for the quote "I think, therefore I am." If you don't get it after reading that, you need a tutor to explain shit to you, and I am not that guy, so don't ask.
