Kell Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 If those are funny, then I must have had a humour bypass - I didn't even smirk once while reading them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison10 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Have to admit I didn't find these very funny either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladd Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Makes you wonder about the ones that didn't make the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term. The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well : Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.' THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Andrea~ Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Those are terrible!! The only one to raise a smile was 35. Guess the problem was they gave a poor choice to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Did you hear what happened to that cowboy, The Brown-Paper Kid? He was hung for rustling! Did you hear about the man who was run over by a train? He was chuffed to bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Those jokes were pretty bad. The Tom Jones one made me laugh. That said, I have a very dark, sarcastic and nerdy sense of humor, so I generally couldn't actually post most of the jokes I find funny, because they're offensive and/or senseless to non-science geeks. A cop pulls over Dr. Heisenburg and says, "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" Dr. Heisenburg responds, "NO, but I know EXACTLY where I am." ^ Andrea should appreciate that one.

Ha! Now that made me laugh! I hate Russian Dolls. They're so full of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
