maybe I should have done bigger text ??
Or rewrite the joke as "Mars is the only planet where the only known inhabitants are robots.";
thus avoiding the issue of microscopic and other unknown inhabitants.

Test your knowledge of human male and female anatomy!

Questions:
1. What is the biggest outer organ in males?
2. What is the firmest outer organ in males?
3. What is the biggest pair of body parts that females use for seduction and child raise?

Answers:
1. skin
2. nail
3. legs

If you answered correctly all three, something is deeply wrong with you.

1. Nose - is that an organ
2. Abs - when you work on it, you can get great firm abs ( they say )
3. Arms - really now, how many females raise kids with their legs?

Lift with your legs, not your back.

Not really a joke, but a parody of public news on no-go theorems in quantum foundations.

A theorem suggests that planets may not exist

Historians of science discovered an old but forgotten text by Isaac Newton in which he proves an important no-go theorem. If measurable predictions of Newtonian gravity are true, then, Newton proved, at least one of the three propositions must be false:

1. Planets exist even if no human observes them.
2. God has a free will to set initial positions and velocities of planets as He wishes.
3. The laws governing the motion of planets are local.

Newton then argued that denying 2. or 3. would obviously be outrageous, suggesting that we should give up the assumption 1.

Newton did not publish this result in his famous Principia, probably because he was not able to prove the assumptions 2. and 3. rigorously.

Is is live or is it dead?
Is it both those states instead?

Is it boy or is it girl?
Each of those in different world?

Hidden states mean it's one state.
Collapse won't happen at this rate

Cat controlled by what I see?
That's so solipsist of me.

Pythagorean means are nice and all, but throwing the median in the pot is really what turns this into random forest statistics: applying every function you can think of, and then gradually dropping the ones that make the result worse.​

Two jokes I imagined during certain lectures:
How do RF engineers find their path through the woods?
Follow the Poynting vector →​

Was that last joke funny?
OK, but a bit on the Heaviside.​

I'm kind of deceived by this xkcd comics:

Isn't this chart also misleading, as all planets other than Earth shouldn't even show up when sized by population because a dot - no matter how small - is still larger than zero?
Here's the corrected version:
