what_are_electrons
A tad of fun.
In an effort to test the level of humor of the physicist, I posted a list of ten would-be questionable jokes. If you have an interest to give a possible answer or punch line to such jokes then drop by the journal posted by "what_are_electrons". If we get a real demand, maybe Greg will add a new category somewhere.

Try Physics 101. You ask textbook questions that were answered a century ago.

Now there's a sense of humor.
 
Where are the jokes? I like jokes, especially if they are funny.

They're in the "Journals" section. See the blue bar at the top for the link. Look under "what_are_electrons". I didn't know where else to try this.
 
What is the point of the journal section?

Joke #1: How many physicists does it take to screw in a synchrotron light bulb?

Joke #2: Why did the physicist cross the road?

Joke #3: Where do physicists come from?

Joke #4: How many cysts do physicists really have?

Joke #5: A man walked into a bar and sat down next to a physicist. How did the man know he was a physicist?

Joke #6: Three physicists were sitting on a lever, one got up, how many physicists were left on the lever?

Joke #7: Einstein was uncertain about the Uncertainty Principle wasn't he?

Joke #8. If a Photon sat next to physicist, what would you see?

Joke #9. When a physicist touches an anti-physicist what happens?

Joke #10. If time stood still what would the last physicist in the world be doing?

Feel free to send answers and I will add them with or without your alias.

Not to be a di*k, but these jokes are kind of :zzz: .
 
Perhaps they should be moved to the Joke Development sub-forum? :wink:

And then subsequently locked, so no one can reply to it. :smile:

Why did the physicist cross the road?
Physicists always aim at pushing limits of knowledge further.

Where do physicists come from?
All come from ancient Greece, following Archimedes

Einstein was uncertain about the Uncertainty Principle wasn't he?
he was. He was even uncertain of QM at all.

if a Photon sat next to physicist, what would you see?
whatever you like, photon can't sit anyway. If a Photon sat then I will have a Nobel prize :wink:

When a physicist touches an anti-physicist what happens?
nobody on Earth would be here anymore to see it anyway.
