Discussion Overview

This thread features a collection of science-related jokes, puns, and humorous anecdotes, primarily focusing on physics, mathematics, and engineering concepts. The discussion includes various types of jokes, some of which are derived from literature, while others are original contributions from participants.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares a joke about a mathematician, a dog, and a cow, highlighting the humor in knot theory.
  • Another participant introduces a joke about Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in a romantic context.
  • Several jokes reference mathematical conventions, such as the use of epsilon in calculus, with some participants seeking clarification on the humor.
  • A joke about a communication between Americans and Canadians illustrates a humorous misunderstanding, with historical context provided by a participant.
  • Participants discuss the nature of jokes, including the structure of short jokes and the implications of scientific terminology in humor.
  • There are multiple jokes involving Heisenberg, with one participant noting the brevity of a specific version of the joke.
  • A humorous take on a scientific method is shared, with some participants expressing curiosity about the referenced group of scientists.
  • Another joke involves a metaphorical description of a woman's experience during childbirth, framed in scientific terms.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally share jokes and humorous anecdotes without a clear consensus on any specific joke or concept. Some jokes prompt requests for clarification, indicating varying levels of understanding and appreciation for the humor presented.

Contextual Notes

Some jokes rely on specific scientific knowledge or conventions that may not be universally understood, leading to requests for explanations. The humor often hinges on wordplay and the intersection of scientific concepts with everyday situations.

It must be a "really dark club"! (society)
I'm afraid to sign up ...

8. Our club life lies mostly in the dark. However, from time to time an M&A of our franchises cannot be avoided. This might make some waves in public. Be prepared.

If I would want to invest in your club will I get my interest as black money radiation?
You get your money only if it evaporates.

The Black Hole Club
Members must always maintain appearance to the outside worlds as if they're yet to join the club, even though they have long since passed the hazing rituals.

- Spaghetti is not just a food, it is also the way you will enter the club.

And by what method should we use, to become spaghettified?
hmmmm...
(google google google)

Ah ha!

When entering the club, one must lose one's clothing, becoming singularly naked, and don some ramen type clothing. Available at amazon.com for between $29.99 & $34.99, USD.

If entering the club with someone else, you must argue incessantly regarding noodle/pasta/ramen/spaghetti quadrality, where they are all the same thing at once, but can be viewed differently, depending on which culinary experiment one is going to feast upon, once you've had time, if and only if time actually exists in the club, after looking at the menu.

I just started swimming, so if there's no swimming in the club ... no way!

e.g. "Swimming in Spacetime: Motion by Cyclic Changes in Body Shape"

Count me in! Ou yeah! ... count me in!
It's an opportunity to also learn how to swim in dark ... and in fierce gravity.
Any known black hole as a canditate for the premises?

There's a kind of sausage here named "Krakower" (transscripted). No wonder I couldn't solve the riddle.

2 guys "from Krakow" (or can say it with 2 blondes - no offense to either ...)
Sitting in a cafeteria, against the mirror, on the other side:

"Look look! Two guys just like us, over there. Let's go meet them!"
[Standing up ...] ... [Pause]
"Ok, never mind, they're coming here! ..."
[Sitting down]

Clear evidence that the chicken got there before the eggs.
... and that their reputation is completely false: It takes braveness "to bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go".
