This isn't quite as daft as it sounds, if you replace "all his body functions" with "his heart". That's what a defibrillator does: the device that you see in medical dramas applying an electric shock across someone's chest to revive them. The shock doesn't restart a stopped heart, as is often implied by the drama; it stops a misfiring heart, and then the stopped heart automatically reboots.

This doesn't make sense for a Ph.D. The original joke was "Why God never got tenure."

Oh, look a science joke thread. I love a good science joke, but no one understands whenever I tell them :(

This joke is an exceptionally corny joke I read while studying math:

A: What is the integral of 1/cabin?
B: "Log cabin"
A: Nope--house boat. You for got the "C".

An economist, an engineer and a physicist are talking about women. The issue is what is better - to have a wife or to have a mistress?
- economist: It's better to have a mistress. It's cheaper and it leaves you more freedom.
- engineer: No, it's better to have a wife. It makes your life more stable.
- physicist: No, the best is to have both. You tell the mistress that you are with your wife, and tell the wife that you are with your mistress, so you have the whole day to be alone and do physics.

I didn't get this.

\int \frac{d \mathrm{cabin}}{\mathrm{cabin}} = \log(\mathrm{cabin}) + C

It relies, in part, on the fact that when spoken in English, the letter "C" is pronounced the same as "sea."

There is another joke which became viral in the 90's with the internet getting more and more popular.

Americans: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision."
Canadians: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision."
Americans: "This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."
Canadians: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course."
Americans: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP."
Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

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. Someone once replied to an anecdote I told him: "I doubt it's true. However, the point is: It could be true."

There is a pro quality Youtube video of this. That's where I first heard it. (The lighthouse is Irish.)

:smile: Oxygen went on a date with Potassium. It was OK.
But I thought Oxygen was with Magnesium! OMG!
At first Oxygen asked out Nitrogen, but Nitrogen was all like "NO!"
So Oxygen had that double bond with the Hydrogen twins...
If I didn't know any better, I'd say someone was a HO, but Sodium Hypobromite always told me "NaBrO! Don't spread rumors!"
