Ok, not a sci fi fan; can't really tell them appart.

You missed something. You would love Douglas Adams! Full of absurdities, language humor, and a manic depressive robot hero "with a brain of the size of a planet" who has to "escort the prisoners". But the best part is the absurdities.

It's kind of weird. At some point I decided I didn't like it, despite never having read a single book nor even watching a single sci-fi tv show.

Have a read:

This planet [earth] has, or had, a problem, which was this. Most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small, green pieces of paper, which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn't the small, green pieces of paper which were unhappy. And so the problem remained, and lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.

Genious!

Do you need a current license to drive an electric vehicle?

 

[BillTre]

Potentially.
I wonder what the charge would be.

 

[jbriggs444]

Dunno, not my field.

 

[fresh_42]

Do you need a current license to drive an electric vehicle?

And will it be called a resistance if you're pulled over?
"Your current license and fuse papers, please!"

 

[WWGD]

Ohm my, Resistance?

 

[fresh_42]

Ohm my, Resistance?

Schultz?

 

[WWGD]

No

Schultz?

No, still WWGD.

The number of electric puns in this thread is shocking.

Say Watt?

 

[WWGD]

Say Watt?

Reminds me of the 5 journalists: Watt, Wei, Weir , Wen and Hu.

 

[jrmichler]

Say Watt?

I actually got away with this in high school physics class. It went something like this:

Teacher: Jim, what's the unit of electrical power?
Me (apparently asleep, head down on desk, without moving): The watt? I tried to make it come out between watt and what.
Teacher: Right, the watt.
Entire class heard "what", understood watt, and started laughing.
Teacher (confused): That was the right answer.

I got away with it because this happened after a friend and I had stacked all of the signal generators and oscilloscopes into a big pyramid, connected them, and got a different Lissajous pattern on each scope. We were busy trying to get all of the patterns rotating in the same direction, when the principal walked in, watched us for a little while, said "gosh, that looks very technical", walked over, and congratulated the teacher on doing a good job.

I believe Hu was teaching the class after that one.

Electricity seems to be a European project:

 

[WWGD]

A Faraday keeps the electrician away.

Better so. My electrician friend blew the power of an ice factory. Now, it's in liquidation.

Ice, Ice baby no more!

 

[fresh_42]

Ice, Ice baby no more!

My association chains are strange. It wasn't 'Ice, Ice baby' but 'No more' (Elvis). It took me quite a while to figure out which song the original was.

 

[WWGD]

Maybe someone already posted this?

Electricity seems to be a European project:

Help, the countries are multiplying again!

F = C / V
England = France / Italy

Ohm = V / A
Germany = Italy / France = 1 / England

Germany is the inverse of England. As we know from football already.

 

[WWGD]

Help, the countries are multiplying again!

I thought the EU's goal was to avoid division ;).

One of my favorite absurdities is the SEP field, which is a cloaking device:

An SEP is something we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem. That’s what SEP means. Somebody Else’s Problem. The brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot.
