I don’t get 4 and 12.

Those are really cute. Entropy is, of course, precisely what it used to be - that's why it's Boltzmann's constant, not Boltzmann's variable.

All right, I'm kidding. Never could tell a joke...

See post 59.

Don’t worry about 4. It’s a metric system joke and there is nothing funny about the metric system.

(A pascal is the unit of pressure. A newton is the unit of weight. 1 newton per square meter is one pascal.)

[JoeDetweiler]

Took me a minute....yours may be better than anything on the list ;-)

Thanks! :)

I liked these. There were a couple I didn’t get (the Newton inside a square meter?), but I’ll read the thread & I’m sure someone will have explained them. I loved the one about Pavlov-now that was funny. :)

Rene Descartes walks into a bar. He orders a beer, sits down and drinks it.

The bartender comes around and says “would you like another?”

Descartes responds “I think not” and vanishes into thin air.

Re: #3
They can’t know if they “all” want a beer until all three have made their decision. So the third one can say “yes.”

That's only half of it — if either of the first two didn't want a beer then they could have answered the question ('No').

LOL / Ouch! :D

Look up Pavlovs dog.

12 &13 eluded me too.

Thank you for posting these. I have passed them on to a philospher, a mathematician, an engineering student, and a Mother-in-law.

[reaganaut]

I liked them and they are some of the reasons we got married. Mwah.

[9YearLurker]

Clearly that joke predates the modern gender era.

[reaganaut]

I have a t-shirt with the Buddhist one on it.

[dalereed]

Those brainy people should have been aborted!!

[Din Maker]

Hmmmmm...... I’m not as smart as I thought I was.

[9YearLurker]

The engineering one is pretty good too.

Here's my contribution to "intellectual jokes".

Unlike men, all numbers are not created equal.

I don’t get 12 and 13, and initially, I didn’t get #4, but only because my screen was cutting off the last paragraph of the joke...:)

I loved these!
