The best part is that Cox and Zucker didn’t give it the name Cox-Zucker machine themselves, because you’re not supposed to name things after yourself. A third person, Schwartz, caught the joke and gave it the name.
But can you Handel it?
How do we know Schwartz wasn’t in on it?
The Schwartz was with them.
A few weeks after we met, we realized that we had to write a joint paper because the combination of our last names, in the usual alphabetical order, is remarkably obscene.

The D speaks the truth

English isn’t my first language. I don’t wanna spoil the joke but someone explain the joke here or in dms. What is a cox ring?
It sounds like cock. A cock ring is a ring that a person would put on a penis for sexual simulation, the same as using a dildo.

Well you could just lie when someone asks what you do for work and say:
“I’m a mathematician actually. I spend the vast majority of my time working with the Cox-Zucker machine.”
“You would know”
“Hell yeah I would”
“What”
“What”

It’s always neat reading an article where I can pinpoint the exact moment it goes over my head. In this instance, everything before “torsion” makes perfect sense, and everything afterward is witchcraft and I will be testifying against Cox and Zucker at the trial
The absolute madlads
