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.

This study shows that the age of the participants is strongly correlated with the age of the participants. We suggest follow-up studies with larger groups to study this surprising effect in more detail.

OMG, and not a joke either.

Question: is there any significance to the horizontal distribution within each group? Or is that arbitrary?
(eg. why is the very leftmost dot in <40 so far left? There's plenty of room for it nearer the centre.)

They mean one of the model globes you can put on a desk. All Flat Earth meetings have one. It's called Globestein, and they sit all around it and give it the two minutes' hate.

After publication I simplified a couple of my papers so they were trivial. They might not have been publishable in that form but if they were they might be in undergrad textbooks.

Silly undergrads, they were wearing shirts that said:
"Just Say
N2O

And thought it would fly in the Chem Class.

I first thought that you wrote "Chern Class" and coudn't figure out how is it related to algebraic topology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern_class

That only works for Physicists and Mathematicians. Engineers would figure you didn't know how to spell... o0)

They would think it reads ##18.84##!

##\sqrt{-1}## is a positive root, ergo ##1##.
##2^3 \approx 2\cdot 3 = 6##.
##\sum \pi \approx 3.14##

Edit: I was a bit unfair to engineers. In fact it is ##2^3\approx 1+2*3## (Bernoulli).

He was just lucky it was Flat Mars in the orbit at that time, Flat Venus would be right out!

Then again, isn't there something almost like that with the Venus Flat Trap?
