Best. Math Joke. Ever.

When the Ark eventually lands after the Flood, Noah releases all the animals and makes a proclamation: "Go forth and multiply".

Several months later, Noah is delighted to see that all the creatures are breeding, except a pair of snakes, who remain childless. Noah asks: "What's the problem?" The snakes have a simple request of Noah: "Please cut down some trees and let us live there."

Noah obliges, leaves them alone for a few weeks and then returns. Sure enough, there are lot of baby snakes. Noah asks why it was important to cut down the trees, and the snakes reply: "We're adders, and we need logs to multiply."
