Topic speaks for itself :L
I like the following one.
A neutron walked into a bar and asked, "How much for a drink?" The bartender replied, "For you, no charge."
I'm thinking that joke is scientifically inccorect. A neutron has a charge, a neutral charge.
Instead of having no charge it has both positive and negative charges equally.
Whatever happened to that easy going youngster I used to be?
Maybe you'll like this one better.Originally Posted by question for you
Two atoms were walking across a road when one of them said, "I think I lost an electron!" "Really!" the other replied, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I 'm absolutely positive."
Careful you're in danger of getting booed off stage!
I'll join in just to take the heat off ya...
One girl said to her friend ' I think i'm pregnant'. Are you sure? asked the friend... 'yes i'm positive'.
I do hope that atom wasn't hydrogen... as if it lost it's electron the it is no longer an atom strictly speaking. I also hope it wasn't any kind of negatively charged ion... as the loss of an electron would more than likely leave it neutral.
I must ask, in the name of science, that you be more specific...

This ones different.
A Sexual Encounter between a Capacitor and an Inductor
One evening, with his charge at full capacity, Micro Farad decided to get a cute coil to discharge him. He went to the Magnet Bar to pick up a chip called Millie Amp. He caught her out back trying self induction; fortunately, she had not damaged her solenoid. The two took off on his megacycle and rode across the Wheatstone Bridge into a magnetic field, next to a flowing current , to watch the sine waves.
Micro Farad was very much stimulated by Millie's characteristic curve. Being attractive himself, he soon had her field fully excited. He set her on the ground potential, raised his frequency, lowered her resistance, and pulled out his high voltage probe. When he inserted it in parallel, he short-circuited her shunt. Fully excited, Millie cried out, "ohm, ohm, give me mho". As he increased his tube to maximum output, her coil vibrated from the current flow. It did not take long for her shunt to reach maximum heat. Now with the excessive current shortening her shunt, Micro's capacity rapidly discharged – every electron was drained off. But that was not the end of it. Indeed, they fluxed all night, tried various connections and hookings until his bar magnet weakened, and he could no longer generate enough voltage to sustain his collapsing field. With his battery fully discharged, Micro was unable to excite his tickler, so they went home. A few weeks later, they were merged forever and oscillated happily ever after.

The following is a little known, true story about Albert Einstein (attributed to Paul Harvey).
Albert Einstein was just about finished his work on the theory of special relativity, when he decided to take a break and go on vacation to Mexico. So he hopped on a plane and headed to Acapulco. Each day, late in the afternoon, sporting dark sunglasses, he walked in the white Mexican sand and breathed in the fresh Pacific sea air. On the last day, he paused during his stroll to sit down on a bench and watch the Sun set. When the large orange ball was just disappearing, a last beam of light seemed to radiate toward him. The event brought him back to thinking about his physics work. "What symbol should I use for the speed of light?" he asked himself. The problem was that nearly every Greek letter had been taken for some other purpose. Just then, a beautiful Mexican woman passed by. Albert Einstein just had to say something to her. Almost out of desperation, he asked as he lowered his dark sunglasses, "Do you not zink zat zee speed of light is zery fast?" The woman smiled at Einstein (which, by the way, made his heart sink) and replied, "Si."
And know you know the rest of the story.

An infinite number of mathematicians walks into a bar.
The first mathematician says to the barman, I'll have a pint, please. The second mathematician says, I'll have a half. The next mathematician says, Mine'll be a quarter, thanks.
OK, says the barman, I see how this is going. So he pulls 2 pints and puts them on the bar.

The Unjust Salary Theorem asserts that scientists can never earn as much as sales people. This theorem is proved as follows. Start by using the physics formula
Power = Work / Time
Now you probably have heard that Knowledge is Power and Time is Money. Substitute these tautologies into the formula for power to obtain
Knowledge = Work/Money
Solving for Money, one finds
Money = Work / Knowledge.
Therefore, the less you know, the more you make.
I didn't manage to follow the logic... but I definitely agree with the conclusion
David Letterman's Top Ten Reasons Why Network News Producers Do Not Give Science More Air time:
Number Ten: They are unable to locate file footage of the Big Bang.
Number Nine: They think that high-temperature superconductors are too hot to handle.
Number Eight: El Niño is covered by the weather department.
Number Seven: They already did the O.J. DNA story.
Number Six: They are unable to find information about semiconductors in the music section of the library.
Number Five: They are afraid of reporting on dark matter because they think it is contagious.
Number Four: They are waiting for cold fusion.
Number Three: They think that the greatest scientific achievement is Tang.
Number Two: They wouldn't know the superconducting supercollider from a hole in the ground.
And the number one reason why network news producers do not give science more air time: Scientists are from Mars . . . Journalists from Venus.

A man, complaining of headaches, entered a hospital for diagnostic tests. A doctor examined the results for a brain scan and told the patient, "I have bad news and good news for you. The bad news is that you have a serious brain disease and will die without treatment. The good news is that this hospital has developed a new procedure for brain transplants and due to a car accident this morning two 'fresh' brains are available: one is from a taxi driver and the other is from a scientist. The brain of the taxi driver costs $225,000, while that of the scientist is only $29.95." Puzzled, the patient asked, "Why is the scientist's brain was so much cheaper?" The doctor replied, "It's used."

Very Good
Three freshman-engineering students were sitting around talking between classes, when one brought up the question of who designed the human body.
One of the students insisted that the human body must have been designed by an electrical engineer because of the perfection of the nerves and synapses.
Another disagreed, and exclaimed that it had to have been a mechanical engineer who designed the human body. The system of levers and pulleys is ingenious.
"No," the third student said, "you're both wrong. The human body was designed by an architect. Who else but an architect would have put a toxic waste line through a recreation area?"

Welcome to the forum. I like your avatar and ID.
Mitt Romney was never lying. Scientifically, he was vibrating his vocal chords and moving his lips. Obama is so fair, he belongs in the Renaissance. Hillary Clinton is the Devil because she held responsibility for what happened in Libya but the FBI found no physical evidence of it.
I hear you. We seem to share a common interest in how many rogerian psychologists it takes to change a lightbulb.
Thanks arKane, it's good to be here. Ditto on the avatar and ID, BTW.Welcome to the forum. I like your avatar and ID.

A frontiersman went into an Indian village to purchase a wife.
The chief showed him three young women. The first was seated on a deer skin and could be purchased for the sum of five ponies. The second was seated on a buffalo skin and could also be purchased for five ponies. The third young woman was seated on a hippopotamus skin and could be purchased for ten ponies.
"Why does this one cost so much more?" asked the man.
"You know," replied chief Pythagoras, "the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides."

Science-ify your breakfast with a Möbius bagel
You’ve probably heard of a Möbius strip before - it’s a continuous shape that only has one side and one edge. You can make one pretty easily by cutting a strip of paper, giving it a half twist, and taping the ends together to form a loop. However, if you want to really impress, make a Möbius bagel. By following the instructions, you can cut your bagel (or your donut!) into two interlocking bagel halves. From now on, eat your breakfast like a Scientist!
NegativeGot any science jokes?
Managerium
The heaviest element known to science is Managerium.
This element has no protons or electrons,
but has a nucleus composed of 1 neutron, 2 vice-neutrons,
5 junior vice-neutrons, 25 assistant vice-neutrons,
and 125 junior assistant vice-neutrons all going
round in circles.
Managerium has a half-life of three years,
at which time it does not decay but institutes
a series of reviews leading to reorganization.
Its molecules are held together by means of
the exchange of tiny particles known as morons.
Following after ArKane: Another version...
New Element Discovered
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every useful process with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a productive process that would normally take minutes, to take from four days to four years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that absorbs twice as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
