This is great and one I hadn’t heard before.
Does anyone have any other science/geeky jokes?
I have a friend who was in a bike accident recently. Neurologically he’s fine but physically it’s going to be a long recovery. He, his wife, his adult children and most of their spouses are all massive geeks (and a couple of the kids/grandkids are showing signs that they’ve inherited those traits). I’ve started sending them random jokes like this to help lift their spirits/give them a bit of a smile when the days get hard. So anything you can share that I can pass on would be great.
@Limewater Yeah, I think those push the limits of obscurity, but my friend who has a PhD in math will enjoy them…I think…I still need to Google so that I can understand them.
Here’s one I like.
@yakkoTDI Love this one!!
@yakkoTDI Love this joke, too! I inwardly get angry every time I hear the original “H2O2” joke because people think they’re clever.
@yakkoTDI
not so much a joke…
“Johnny was a Chemist’s son, but Johnny is no more.
What Johnny Thought was H2O, was H2S04”
How do you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?
Ask them to pronounce “unionized.”
@Koolhandjoe There was another bench, but it fell apart and broke into pieces.

@gt0163c These math jokes may be too obscure.
What’s purple and commutes?
…
An abelian grape.
A Topologist is someone who can’t tell his ass from a hole in the ground but can tell his ass from two holes in the ground.
What is the Matrix?
…
I don’t know, but my TI-86 can reduce it to echelon form.

@gt0163c Heh. Your friend with a PhD in math probably already knows them.
The adjective for “metal” is “metallic”, but not so for “iron”, which is ironic.
I think my last girlfriend wants to become a physicist, said she needed to get into time and space.
How do mathemeticians cure constipation?
They work it out with a pencil.
@wickhameh
@shahnm @wickhameh You need to use a No. 2 pencil, though.
@mehcuda67 @shahnm @wickhameh No shit?
@mehcuda67 I see what you did there…
Why did the chemist hang up periodic table posters everywhere?
It made him feel like he was in his element.
