It seems that a fire has been burning underground at a coal in Kentucky for several years, but some copraliths(petrified dinosaur dung) have been discovered there recently. This means the fire has to be put out for science, but it is extremely expensive. Fortunately, it is being funded by the "Endangered Feces Act".

Three engineers are arguing about what kind of engineer God must be.

 

The electrical engineer says “God has to be an electrical engineer – just look at the human body’s nervous system.”

 

The mechanical engineer says “Nah, God is a mechanical engineer. Only a great mechanical engineer could design the body’s joints and muscles.”

 

The civil engineer smiles and says “You guys are both wrong. I know God is a civil engineer – who else would put a waste disposal line right through a great recreation area?”

A professor of mathematics at the local university sent the following fax to his wife:

 

"Dear Wife:

You must, of course, realize that you are 57 years old and are no longer able to satisfy. I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and sincerely hope you will not be offended or hurt to learn that, by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my 19-year-old student teaching assistant. I will be home before midnight. Sincerely, Your Husband"

 

By the time he got to the hotel with the young lady, there was a faxed letter waiting for him. It read:

 

"Dear Husband:

You too are 57 years old. By the time you receive and read this letter, I will be at the Break Away Motel with the 19-year-old pool boy. As you are the mathematician, I'm sure you realize that 19 goes into 57 more times than 57 goes into 19. Therefore, don't wait up.

 

Your Wife"

Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi agree to meet for lunch. Albert gets to the restaurant first and selects a table. A few minutes later Enrico walks in and sees Einstein sitting at the table. He approaches him and says, "What's new?" Einstein responds, "Omega over Sigma!"

There are three kinds of mathematicians: those who can count, and those who can't.

Rene Des Cartes walks into a bar and sits down. The waitress walks up to him and says, "Can I get you a drink?" He says, "I think not," and he disappears.

So, have you heard the joke about the Top Ten Favorite Luddite Websites?

A neutron walks into a bar and orders a martini.

When the bartender hands him the drink, the neutron

asks, "How much do I owe you?"

 

The bartender replies, "For you, no charge."

Three engineers were in a car when they came to a light and stopped. The motor sputtered and choked a bit and then died. The chemical engineer said, "I think it's not getting enough gas. Maybe we ought to check the fuel line." The electrical engineer said, "No, it sounded to me like it's not getting enough juice. Maybe we ought to check the plugs." The third, a systems engineer said, "Why don't we all get out of the car, and then get back in again, and see if it won't start up."

How many evolutionary scientists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Ans: None. Given enough time and random chance events, the light bulb will screw itself in.

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

 

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want."

 

Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

 

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

 

The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

How many efficiency experts does it take to replace a light bulb?

A limerick:

 

A mosquito cried out in pain:

"A chemist has poisoned my brain!"

The cause of his sorrow

was para-dichloro-

diphenyltrichloroethane.

 

[DDT is easier to say, but it doesn't rhyme.]

Two Ions are walking together, and the first one says to the other, "I think I'm missing something."

 

The second Ion responds, "Really, what could you be missing?"

 

The first Ion says, "I think I'm missing an electron."

 

"Really," asks the second, "are you sure?"

 

"Yes!" responds the first, "I'm POSITIVE!"
