Collection of Science Jokes P2

In summary: Usually it's been commentated as being 'real'. Actually the joke dates back to the 30's and whether it's real or not cannot be said anymore.

On the milk boxes - for missing letters. Possibly taken hostage by foreign names.

A distaraptor would walk a lot, and a timeraptor (tempusraptor?) would have a long life?
It's time for philosoraptor to participate in this thread...

EDIT: Bonusraptor, not science, but too funny not to share here, IMO:

If we fix the definition of sunset to a particular point (bottom/center/top of the sun touches the horizon or something similar), there should be regions close to the pole where the sun does indeed set in the East, to be observed at most once per year.

Nobody wished me Happy Birthday! :nb)
Wait! I haven't been born yet!

Anyway, I am leaving now. After checking out 2001 "spectacles" ... I'm going "back to the future" ... Bye! ...

Math was easy in the Roman empire. x was always 10.

There was only one [geopolitical] variable in the Roman empire: 'Roman Power'. And it was always a 10.

But how could ##X## be constant if ##V## was 5? A paradox.
 
  • #366
V then would have to be a function, not a variable. E.g. V(X) = 1/2 X ["domain of X" = D = {10} ]

Why were ##p_x## and ##x## cited by the traffic cop?

They were caught driving together in the commuter lane.

Was it a quantum cop?

That's because these idiots killed Archimedes. No wonder they couldn't differentiate!

And if we don't skip multiplication signs ##515 = LXV = L \times V = 50 \times 5 = 250##

Roman accelerations were also constant:$$a = v \frac {dv}{dx} = 5 \cdot \frac {505}{510} \approx 4.95$$

And one more: ##2 = ii = i^2 = -1##.

Then always 2 = 3 = ... = 10 = etc. , and we don't need Roman power anymore!
Is that why the Roman empire fell?

A clown hurled a pie at another clown's face whereupon both clowns vanished. Why?

They had a face difference of one pie.
