Science, Engineering, and other related jokes

People send me stuff. This list of 20 intelligent jokes with a smattering of science and engineering jokes is worth sharing.

Some won’t get all of them, for example, I have no idea what #1 is about…the rest, are just entertaining.

An engineer and a mathematician are competing for a beautiful woman. The engineer and the mathematician are told, “You can go to her, but you must travel this way; go half the distance, and then stop; then go half the remaining distance and stop; go half the remaining distance, and then stop, and so on.”
The mathematician never starts, because he knows he can never reach her. But the engineer takes off running, because he knows that he can get close enough for practical purposes.

What do you get if you cross an elephant with the Alps?
A flat elephant and the ghost of Hannibal shows up and tells you that you did it backwards.

Janice #9: The person proved the friend’s point by using the word “irony” completely inappropriately.

One day, Einstein, Newton, and Pascal meet up and decide to play a game of hide and seek. Einstein volunteered to be “It.” As Einstein counted, eyes closed, to 100, Pascal ran away and hid, but Newton stood right in front of Einstein and drew a one meter by one meter square on the floor around himself. When Einstein opened his eyes, he immediately saw Newton and said “I found you Newton,” but Newton replied, “No, sorry, you’ve found Pascal!”.

did you hear about the climate computer that works in base 1 and has a terabyte of write only memory?
there are 10 kinds of people in the world- those who know binary and those who don’t.

One of my favorite science jokes happened on Johnny Carson in the early ’80s. I wish I could find it on YouTube or even in text, but no luck. It went something like this:
JC: (to Ed McMahon) You remember last week when we talked about whether a tree that falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it… does it make a sound?
Ed: I do. And I said it did make a sound.
JC; Yes, you did. Well…. You were wrong!
Ed: Really? Says who?
JC: I have a letter here from Dr. X, a professor of physics at Cal Tech. He writes:

“I wanted to let you know that it is accepted physics that when a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, that it does NOT make a sound.
More importantly, the tree does not actually need to fall before this question must be faced. According to the theory of Quantum Mechanics, it is believed that the tree does not actually EXIST until someone SEES IT!”
(slaps the letter onto to the desk). There you have it — from an expert!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JDSEANJD!
Yes, #10 was good. I’d change the “banker” to a “windmill promoter,” though.
Jokes and…..
a song!
“Happy Birthday to You” by Sonny Vande Putte

Hope your special day is lovely. Hope you are feeling strong and full of hope and that this is one of your “good days.” I pray for you.
Your WUWT ally,

One physicist tells his colleague, “We’ve determined the core temperature of the star gamma Draconis is 50 million degrees.” The other physicist replied, “Oh, really? Is that Kelvin or Celsius?”
