Everyone list your physics jokes here. I have a few ones.

In the early 1900's, name foreigners came to america, and they had bad english skills, espeicaly with tense and past tense. So, one day, a german who just entered the country lost track of the time, as he needed to catch a train , so he asked a physicists "What is time". The physics replied "You will have to ask a philosopher that question, I'm only a scientist".

Your mother is so fat, men are actually attrracted to her, according to General Relativity.

Don't take these jokes offenseively, these are jokes that only we can understand. :rolleyes:

Many people espouse the works of Renee DesCartes without reference to the pioneering works of the Dutch naturalist Evander DeHoorst. As such, they tend to put DesCartes before DeHoorst.

Einstein on Divorce: "All things are relative. All relatives are things. My relatives took all my things."

Two archaeologists are standing before a gigantic, fallen statue in the desert (See: "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley). One archaeologist says to the other "A great civilization must've made this." His colleague replies "But what brought them down?"

Suddenly, the statue comes to life, rises and replies "I got knocked over."

"Ah," responds the first scientist, "it only stands to reason."
 
Person 1: Wow, look at those carbon atoms. That molecule looks like a soccer ball. Is it full of air?
2:no it's fullerene

There, there, it's the effort that counts. :smile:
 
no, it's not the effort that counts. It's the number of votes at the end of the year
 
Touché

I bow down to you oh master of funniness. :smile:
 
maybe it needs a rewrite.
PFer1:Wow, look at those carbon atoms. They are arranged in the shape of a soccer ball.
PFer2:is it full of air?

I'm sure we've all heard this at some point in our love of physics, but since it's the season and all I think it's time we all got to read it again.

Why did MoonBear throw away her microscope the day after Thanksgiving?
She heard that it was the busiest shopping day of the year and all the stores were having Big Cells.

It must be late and I must be really, really, really tired. I just laughed at that. :-p Thanks, I needed a little laughter tonight.

It took me 20 min of going nuts thinking I'm starting to go blind in one eye because I could not get both oculars focused at the same time before I realized someone had an extra spacer in the ocular on one side but not the other. I'm not sure why it was there...it didn't have a lens in it and with it in place, the focal distance is too far off, so I couldn't focus at all through that ocular. Yesterday I had to clean every G-d damned lens on it, and someone got crud all over the condenser on another scope . I don't know what on Earth the students are doing with them!

Sorry, I know that's not funny, though I wish it was a joke. [/rant]

LOL! At least the cells I've been counting all night are stained appropriate colors for the season...red and green. I should put my other avatar back up...it's one of those cells...get myself back into the holiday spirit. I'm glad you're around here to cheer me up.

Well, I hired tribdog as a ghost writer for that section. He's far better at writing dirty limericks than I am. That's of course why he's pushing you to buy the new edition, he wants his cut of the royalties. :biggrin:

MoonBear spent time at her scope
Breakthrough! That was her hope.
But her view wasn't clear
Am I blind? was her fear
Then she fixed the problem. with soap.

MoonBear was losing her holiday cheer
But tribdog was there so don't fear
Put that microscope down
We'll have a night on the town
Just keep your thumb out of my rear.
 
  • #27
That'll be 14 cents please.
 
  • #28
Her scope provides magnification
and using it takes concentration.
MoonBear, take a break
for both or our's sake
and meet me for some fornication
