I'm tempted to say this is the only "funny" math text worth reading. I've searched desperately for another linderholm but there doesn't seem to be anything like it. Please tell me there's something else out there.

In the OP text: Linderholm constructs the natural numbers as a coequalizer in the category of categories, uses quadratic forms to prove that 3 is not divisible by 7, gives a non-circular proof that 22 is prime using the fact that Z/2ZZ/2Z is a field...
