In summary: It's a humor that relies on absurdity and unexpectedness. It's not for everyone.Not a fan of surrealism, I take it?In summary, surrealism is an art form that relies on absurdity and unexpectedness, often producing incongruous imagery or effects. It may not be appreciated by everyone, but for those who do, it can be quite humorous.

Apparently so. Before I saw that I probably would have been able to have some sympathy for you... o0)

TIL what devilled eggs look like. I only thought it was an eggsorcism.

To be fair, they only said "we can...", they didn't say "we will..."!

I invented a thought-controlled investment account, which makes cents when you think about it.

But seriously, the feeling of boredom could be the brain's counterpart to hunger... a stimulus for activity and exploration, leading to satisfaction of curiosity and potentially useful learning.

I named a wild type zebrafish line Nadia after the town in India where the fish were collected.
I was also on a softball team named "Nads" so we could use that cheer.

a wild type zebrafish line Nadia

For many years, New Scientist magazine ran a lighthearted column that featured funny science anecdotes, jokes and other stuff in that category. One running joke was the idea (and I think they coined this term) of "nominative determinism". That is, the supposed tendency of people to gravitate to professional fields that resonate with their name in some way.

Well, I just googled "nadia zebrafish" and found this:

The good professor, whose first name is Nadia, makes it her business to study embryonic development processes in Zebrafish.

Nominative determinism has its own page on Wikipedia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism

And even the staid British Medical Journal permits itself a little chuckle about how...
The surnames of urologists Splatt and Weedon first alerted doctors to the delights of nominative determinism, described by Wikipedia as the theory that a person’s name can have a significant role in determining key aspects of their job, profession, or even character. Hours of harmless fun have followed, as specialty lists have been pored over in search of names that fit the job.

Every high school student who did not like physics would appreciate the name of the author of this physics book. It has a copyright date of 1945. I keep it as a reminder of how much physics has, and has not, changed in the last 75+ years. It's also my father's old textbook from when he was in tech school in 1949.

A high school physics teacher with his name would need a really thick skin.

There's a classic textbook called "Police Law", about U.K. law but designed for use by police rather than lawyers. In a case of nominative anti-determinism, it's written by a fellow by the name of Moriarty.

And, more confusing, it was written inside of a bottle. By someone lonely, I gather.
