Boring fact: In electronics we don’t use imaginary numbers, because “i” get’s confused with “I”. “I” represents current in electronics. Instead we call them j-factors or “j”.

When I switched from Electronics to teaching math, boy was I in for a shock.

I’m not sure if I believe in the existence of turtles; they sound like something somebody made up.

I don't trust them irrational numbers.

pi = 22 / 7 and that's all I'll ever need to know about that.

If pi were irrational, wouldn't that mean God screwed up when he designed the circle?

I've seen one, in fact I've seen quite a few. So they MUST be real!

I mean, I've seen turtles but I'm not sure if I believe in atheists.

I wish people would keep their imaginary number issues to themselves rather than feeling the need to spew them all over a unicycle board.

Some of the great atheist thinkers have tortoise a lot about the world.

However, I think these puns need to be stopped before we're arrested under the Prevention of Terrapinism Act.

Haha... man, your sarcasm is so subtle...

If I were to answer this question seriously, I would look like an idiot.
