Do you Understand?

Dammit, I hear people laughing but I don't get it. RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Oh wait, those are only the dumb, smug voices in my head.

My first thought when I hear "Science joke" is "One proton said to another "I think I lost an electron", to which the other replies "Are you sure?". "I'm positive" says the first."

I've heard that one too lol
*sigh* we're such nerds...

high-five!

I have made a, admittedly, nerdy science joke which gets a dichotomy of reception. It goes as follows:

"A Physicist is drving down the Eastlink (Highway in Australia) he looks down to check his speedo. When he looks back up he's in Sweden"

This joke is based on a scientific concept, and I know that it is very sad that I find it so funny.

My main question is, do you guys get it? Find it funny? And have any jokes like it?

Is this something to do with Quantum Physics claiming that atoms can be in two places at once?

from wikipedia
In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states by precise inequalities that certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot be simultaneously known to arbitrarily high precision. That is, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be measured. The principle states that a minimum exists for the product of the uncertainties in these properties that is equal to or greater than one half of the reduced Planck constant (ħ = h/2&#960.

so I get it...but its not all that funny so much as clever

This one's not really a joke, and it's fairly easy but it is a classic:

"There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't."

I'm sorry.

There's no place like 10.1.1.1

Superposition is so 2008. Furthermore, ha ha.

I sure wish I could look up arcane scientific principles and form ham-fisted jokes around them .

I think if you do get this the first time you don't get it at all ;P
I get it.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Hmmmm...this feels like some sort of Far Side joke.

 

[PurplePlatypus]

I had to read through the thread and see what it was referring to but it?s fairly funny now I know.

I have this to contribute; it starts out with a virus walking into a bar.

Thats not even a joke and I took physics and past it.

Shame you didn't "past" english, eh? Eh? ZIIING...

*ahem*
I don't get it either.

Passed.

Anyway...

No I don't get it, having looked at your name though, I have an incling.

What the hell does my name have to do with anything and by 'passed' I mean that it was a hard course and I was one of the few people who would get the jokes told by the teacher.

His point, and mine, is that it's "passed". As for the name bit, he's talking to the OP.

 

[SpaceGhostPoncherello]

I don't get it but after reading the thread I think I'm better off not getting it.

 

[Knusper]

I'm really confused, someone please tell me what it is trying to tell me! However, to make myself sound nerdy in my own way, I have my own mathematics joke and goes thus:

Spoiler: Why did the chicken cross the Möbius Strip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius_strip)

To get to the same side.

high-five! (I love high-fives. Woop!)

I have a feeling that the secret to the joke lies in the speedo. Hopeful not inside the speedo.

I'll contribute with another joke that everyone will get but still relates to science.

When a third grader was asked to cite Newton's first law, she said, "Bodies in motion remain in motion, and bodies at rest stay in bed unless their mothers call them to get up."

God, I feel like a lame Physics teacher.
