Math & Science Jokes
This collection of math and science jokes was found online. Some may already be on the site, but worth sharing again.
The authors to these are unknown. By anyone, I imagine.
A mathematician walks into a bar and asks for ten times the normal number of drinks anyone else has. “Wow,” says the barkeep, “That’s an order of magnitude.”
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. … Read the rest...

Warped and Shaggy
This scientific tale is from Joe Blake.
A scientist had invented a new space drive, called a Dark Drive, because when it was initiated, the vehicle it was driving was converted into quarks, which were twisted by a powerful magnetic field, so that the stream of quarks warped into another dimension. This warping had the side effect of attracting all the photons within a relatively small radius, hence with the field of operation it got dark.
He attended a scientific … Read the rest...

Sub-Atomic Puns
These puns are stolen from various spots all over the internet. Most of them are older than the internet itself.
The compilation is mine…
They say all are welcome to worship, but even the Catholic Church has to have some standards. One Sunday morning, Father Bohr was having a hard time keeping undesirables out.
First was Dr. Schrodinger and his cat. The priest said, “You can’t bring that cat in here. It looks half dead!”

The Sprouting Behavior of Heat-Treated Timepieces
From the groaners listserv, a classic shaggy dog.
THE SPROUTING BEHAVIOR OF HEAT-TREATED TIMEPIECES
A Controlled Experiment
INTRODUCTION:
Watch sprouting has been a controversial problem, complicated by popular misunderstanding of even its basic issue. This report undertakes to resolve the question definitively by careful experiment.
SUBJECTS:
60 new watches (12 each from Bulova, Casio, Rolex, Seiko, and Timex) were used, each pretested to be at least 99.9% accurate. Mechanical watches were fully wound. Electronic ones were equipped with fresh batteries.… Read the rest...

Effects of Gene Splicing
Since it seems that gene-splicing has become a reality, all those old jokes about crossing a parrot with a centipede* are within the realm of possibility. Here are a few examples of what could happen.
Cross an Indian monkey with a vine of the legume family and a plant with yellow cup-shaped flowers and you’ll get a Rhesus Peanut Buttercup.
Cross a Sasquatch and a baboon and you’ll get a Sassoon. An animal that lurks in the suburbs at night, … Read the rest...

Another Obituary
This is by Stan Kegel.
Los Angeles Times, 02/17/02:
Dr. Vincent Beraid, an expert in designer genes, specialized in creating large animals for meat production.
Dr. Beraid’s death occurred during the development of a hog weighing over two tons. Dr. Beraid used almost eighty gorilla clones trained to carry out the mundane daily tasks of caring for this brute, who looked remarkably like Jabba the Hut.
One of the complicating factors in caring for this beast was his terrible bad … Read the rest...

An Obituary
An alternative tale to “Geothermal Mistake”, this comes from the pun group on yahoo.com.
ATHOL, WY (DPI) — A freak accident at an experimental geothermal power plant claimed the life of noted electro-nutritionist Dr. Otto Mymynd.
Mymynd earned the scorn of his colleges in his early years when he called them myopic sycophants. He later gained their flattery with such inventions as the infrared flashlight, the burpless cucumber, methane deficient cabbage and the environmentally safe tofu laser.
