Student: Well, I would call them Chhotu, Bunty and Raju.

Chemistry student
I'm teaching the new organic chemistry student about functional groups. We reach aldehydes, and consider the formula of formaldehyde. I ask him what the next aldehyde would be called.
The student looks up, and with the innocent expression of the true imp, says: "Informaldehyde?"

New web portal for mathematicians
The web portal for mathematicians has recently been revamped. Now the interface is more natural and intuitive. So you don't necessarily have to log in any more.
You can also ln in.
....
The section for trigonometricists has been upgraded, too. While most of it is open to all, some sections require you to sine in.
For example, the Financial section now gives you loans. Depending on the amount, you may need someone to cosine your application as guarantor.
The Travel section offers you nice summer packages in the Southern Hemisphere in the coming months, where you can get a nice tan.
Some of these are really cheap, but they don't have beds. They only have cots.
Lastly, the World Clock application allows you to see two time zones at the same time. It not only shows you all the secs, but the cosecs as well.
....
For other mathematicians, the Finance section has loans. This month's special is targeted at Indian mathematicians. This is a special loan in British currency, which requires them to pay less than they borrowed. It is called the Com-pound (कम-pound) Interest Loan. (I suspect there are hidden costs.)
....
There is a bakery that sells special mathematical foods online with special discounts for mathematicians coming from the portal.
You can get a simple Pi, or you can get the Equation special, which is twice the weight, since it is the Expansion of Pi.
Cylindrical cakes with square tops and etched icing are sold by volume, not weight. These are called Pi R-square Etch.
....
Then, there is the Entertainment section, which has just finished showing the Matrix movies, and is the only website to advertise the three together as The Matrices. (You can also get a good discount if you are really determinant.)
It is currently running the new late-night horror series with thin actors called Boo-lean Alge-bra. It's not suitable for kids. You really don't want to know what happened to Alge's underwear.

Running for the last bus
There was this dedicated computer engineer, who used to sit and work really late. He'd got into the habit of catching the last bus home. Often, he used to almost miss it, and had to run really fast to the bus stop to catch it.
Now, one fine day, the timings for the last bus were changed.
Our man, being a dedicated engineer, forgot about this change. So, one night, he ran out as usual to the bus stop. When he reached there--no bus.
"Rats!" he muttered. "I've lost connectivity to the bus because of a run-time error."
The next day, he came to work in running shoes instead of his usual sandals.
"After all," he mused, "re-booting is known to fix run-time errors."
Credits: Thanks to DS for suggesting the fix!
