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.

It looks to me like the camper wheel is stuck against the pump island curb.

Sounds like a homework problem. When the car accelerates at 3 m/s2 in a straight line, what is the initial torque at the front connection? Which part hits the ground first, and at which speed?

Did you know that you can't get astronomers for speeding?
No astronomer has ever been faster than 0.00004.

As seen by some of the particles they study astronomers are traveling at over 99.9999% the speed of light.

A mathematician cop pulls over a metaphorically speeding and swerving physicist, but thankfully he let's her go with a warning. Please don't drink and derive.

My school career wasn't quite as straightforward as that.

At primary school in the 60s, we did calculations in ft+in, or lb+oz, or £+s+d.

At secondary school in the 70s, we did calculations in m+cm, or kg+g, or £+p. A whole lot easier.

(Of course all the above was with pen and paper only; no such thing as calculators.)

I didn't know where to put this:
Will Any Crap We Put into Graphene Increase Its Electrocatalytic Effect?
We demonstrate in the following text the meaninglessness of the never-ending co-doping of graphene. We decided to follow the hyperbole of ever multiplying dopants; however, instead of using expensive and toxic chemicals such as ammonia, fluorine, chlorine, boranes, etc., we took a page from the pre-Haber–Bosch era and sought natural materials for the fertilization of graphene and used guano as a dopant.
