Science means you never again have to (or get to) say "I know", with the certainty that faith gives.

That's really uncomfortable for a lot of people, including, traditionally, most scientists.

So the one guy says he loves science, then the other guy says he also loves science. The first guy reacts obsessively by throwing his book at the second guy and proclaims that she (science) belongs to him.

No? Nothing? Get it?

It IS science humor, not stand-up, after all.

The proton says, "It's raining."

The electron says, "Are you sure?"

The proton says, "I'm positive!"

Now, that's funny!

Maybe I should have included a in my OP as proof that the comic was funny too.

Suppose instead of a science book it was a girl named Suzy.

So the one guy says he loves Suzy, the the other guy says he also loves Suzy. The first guy reacts obsessively by throwing Suzy at the second guy and proclaims that she (Suzy) belongs to him.

It doesn't make sense, why would he throw Suzy at the other guy if he loves Suzy?

The book is being used for giving the reader context, in this case science. Then the book is used as an object to defend his love, science, from another suitor. It's not the book they are claiming to love.

Sheesh.

Apr 2012

e^x and a constant are walking down the road. Suddenly, they spot a differential operator. The constant says "I'm out of here. If that differential operator gets a hold of me, I'll be a big fat zero". e^x says "I don't have to worry. I'm infinitely differentiable and I never change". So, the constant heads off down a side street while e^x walks on towards the differential operator.

When they meet, e^x says "Hello, differential operator. I'm e^x". And the differential operator says "Hello, e^x. I'm d/dy".
