Cuius GUT demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi hanc a PF regulis abhorrere et exiguitas non caperet.
(I have discovered a truly miraculous GUT, however PF rules and size of posts doesn't allow me a development here.)

It's funny to see they have an explanation for every joke for people away from science. Anyway, it's fun.
One joke there was:

A neutron walked into a bar and asked, "How much for a gin and tonic?" The bartender smiled wryly and replied, "For you, no charge."

Shouldn't it have been:
"If you hurry up, no charge."

Why won't the sun go to college?

It already has millions of degrees.

Hullo

Not wanting to make a new thread for this silly endeavour, I'll ask here.

Say, if you wanted to come up with a cheeky cosmology-related science joke, what would it be? (I'm thinking, maybe, to put it on a t-shirt)

The best I can think of is: 'yo mama so fat, her curvature is indistinguishable from flat using current best measurement methods'

Any other ideas?

If I wanted to come up with one, how would I know what it would be until I came up with it? :confused::confused:?:)?:)

Grumble grumble. It made sense in my mind when I was writing it! And I was only slightly drunk at the time, too.
No, seriously, I need to learn conditionals, properly, one of these days. o:)

It can take an incredible amount of trash before you have to empty it, but it takes quite a while to get it in.

Wouldn't her mass lead to spacetime curvature?
On the other hand, if she is within her own photon sphere, light could circle her perfectly.

@fresh_42: A 3 Jupiter mass black hole?

I didn't put much effort in the calculation, I simply took a 30 cm Schwarzschild radius and fed the formula here. Should have been .2 instead of 5, but you know, the error margin :biggrin:

Interesting, that's about three times (π?) the Schwarzenegger radius (biceps radius):

I don't dare to think about the association with a black hole that brought you to this ... I hope it was the time traveling aspect ...

No, it was not that sophisticated :biggrin:. It was simply the similarity of the names Schwarzschild and Schwarzenegger.

Poor Karl ... On the other hand, he died in a war that had been caused by the assassination of the Austrian heir presumptive, so the circle closes in.

Yo mama so fat she has mass whether the Higgs Boson exists or not (source: http://www.jokes4us.com/yomamajokes/yomamasciencejokes.html)

Yo mama so fat the Hubble telescope used her gravitational lensing to see the big bang.

Yo mama so fat she's known as the great fattractor.
