I can get the bit about rap and tors, but meh, I'll just have to work on the rest of it.

velociraptor = a species of dinosaur

playing with a couple of fictitious dinosaur names distaraptor and timeraptor
one can have fun with the sci formula of velocity = distance / time

 

[rootone]

I did get it really

 

[mfb]

I guess the name is not a coincidence.

A distaraptor would walk a lot, and a timeraptor (tempusraptor?) would have a long life?

hahaha nice response

There has been Triassic mathematics, too:

Theorem of Pyroraptor for right Triceratops:
Hypselosaurus squared is the sum of the two Lepidus squared.

I think a more fitting name would be a tempasaurus, which totally ruins the joke but sounds like a thing. Tempasaurus can also be a nickname for a very agitated temp

Come on, it's not brain surgery.

No sound

 

[mfb]

I have sound in that video.
You can search for "Brain Surgeon - That Mitchell & Webb Look" to find more videos, maybe some other video works.

The periodic table

This is a Schrödinger post!
I both like and can't like it, due to some glitch in the website that gives me an error message when I try to like it.

 

[BillTre]

I can like it now.
I guess its probability state has collapsed or been resolved or whatever.

Elon Musk's west coast booster rocket recovery barge name

Elon Musk's west coast booster rocket recovery barge name

From the Culture series. "Of Course I Still Love You" is the east coast ship, handling most of the landings.
The other one (at the west coast) is called "Just read the instructions".

There are rumors that there is one human mentor left in this forum, but we couldn't find them so far.

How do differential geometers say hello to each other?

Spoiler: Ouch Alert!

Good Fibrations!

 

[rkolter]

(True Story) I was always worried that I would do something that would break or ruin our first child (I had zero child rearing or child care experience). So when my spouse got pregnant with our second child, I asked if we could name her Backup. You know... just in case something went wrong with the first one.

She vetoed the name.

A bit old, but Cn is a good choice. Only the weight is a little too high.

... and the ratio is implied to be [defined as] the 'Standard Dinosaur Ratio' ...
Basic science, indeed!

 

[DrGreg]

... and the ratio is implied to be [defined as] the 'Standard Dinosaur Ratio' ...

If I'd ever used the CGS system of units, I could probably make some joke about dynosaurs. But I never did, so I can't.

 

[mfb]

DINosaurs? They all have a standard size!

Its yellow-brown color fits the designation "low-grade paper."

Old, but not in this thread yet:

How can you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?

Ask them to pronounce "unionized".

Alternatively:
Ask them for Avogadro's number and see if they start looking through their contact list.

 

[EnumaElish]

How can you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?

Ask them to pronounce "unionized".

So how would each pronounce it?

Oh, un-ionized vs. union-ized?

 

[mfb]

Oh, un-ionized vs. union-ized?

Exactly

How can you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?

Which made me remember...

In chemistry class I met a girl who initially made me very tired. Her name was Ann Esthesia. I thought she was pretty, even though she had a mole. I gave her a necklace and waited for the chain reaction. Now I think we have a good relationship; it seems solid.

 

[fresh_42]

... it seems solid.

Probably because you are laughing your gas off all the time.
