10/09/23 Grif.Net – Science Non-Quiz

[This odd assortment of questions will appeal to those who love=
physics, chemistry, and the sciences. I may add a bit of explanation as de=
emed appropriate for those who might not see the clever humor, but the expl=
anation is often longer than the joke itself.]

1. What did the scien=
ce professor say when oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, sodium, and phosphorous wal=
ked into the lab?

“OH SNaP!”.

(If you combine the chemical symbols for Oxyge=
n (O), hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), sodium (Na), and phosphorous (P), it spell=
s “OH SNaP.”)

 

2. What should you do if no one=
laughs at your chemistry jokes?

=
Keep tellin=
g them until you get a reaction.

=
 

3. What if you fail wh=
en writing jokes about the periodic table?

Y=
ou may not be in your element.

 

4, Did you hear the joke a=
bout cobalt, radon, and yttrium?

It was=
CoRnY.

(cobalt (Co), radon (Rn), and yttriu=
m (Y) spell corny)

 

5. If someone throws sodium chloride at you, can they be arreste=
d?

Perhaps. It is, after all, a salt.

 

6. What’s the difference between chemistry jokes and phy=
sics jokes?

Chemistry jokes can be funny per=
iodically, but physics jokes have more potential.

 

7. Why=
did the attacking army use acid?

To neutral=
ize the enemy’s base.

(Acid and base c=
hemicals on the pH scale can cancel each other out)

 

8. What is Cole’s Law?

Thinly sliced cabbage.

(There’s =
no real scientific law called Cole’s Law. This mixes chemistry jokes =
with good ol’ food puns)

 

=
9. What happens if you lower your body temperature to absolute zero?

You’ll be 0K.

(Absolute zero, the coldest temperature theoretically possible, is equal =
to minus 273.15 degrees Celsius and zero degrees Kelvin (written out as 0K)=

 

10. Do you have any other chemistry jokes?

All the good ones argon.
