Two archeologists, exploring a remote mountain in Tibet came across a huge
granite statue which resembled a sitting man. It stood almost 400 foot tall,
and its bodily details were accurate down to the fingernails and teeth. “It
looks real enough to talk”, says one. “Lets try,” says the other and turning
to the statue asks it its name. No answer. ”How old are you?” No answer.
Finally. one shouts out, “What is the square root of 64?” Suddenly, the
mountain shakes as the giant statue rise onto its feet and puts it’s hand on
it’s chin. Then after about ten seconds, the statue answes in a roaring
voice, “Eight.” Of course, says the scientist, “It only stands to reason.”
