■ Two theoretical physicists are lost at the top of a mountain. Theoretical physicist No 1 pulls out a map and peruses it for a while. Then he turns to theoretical physicist No 2 and says: “Hey, I’ve figured it out. I know where we are.”
“Where are we then?”
“Do you see that mountain over there?”
“Yes.”
“Well… THAT’S where we are.”

Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip?
To get to the other… eh? Hang on…
Strictly speaking that’s a maths joke, as is the Mandelbrot one.

That would explain why I didn’t get it.
Fractals, you know. The same structures appearing again at every scale etc.
And a Möbius strip is a coiled plane that seems to have two sides but only has one.

The b is a portal to the whole name, and so it goes on.

If you look into the B you see the whole name within it :) .. Ok it’s easier if you can visualise a Mandelbrot imagine or are comfortable with fractals.. :)

Not strictly true, but mildly amusing.

My fave science joke:
Policeman stops Werner Heisenberg on the highway.
“Do you know how fast you were going”, the cop asks.
“No”, says Heisenberg, “but i knew where i was.”
Werner Heisenberg’s cat goes missing.
He puts up posters saying ‘Wanted – Dead or Alive’.
As a layman I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these jokes are pretty funny.
I can hear the TV, it’s either on SBS or Sharapova is playing.
Err, that’s not a science joke that I know of, it was meant for chat.

What’s the contour integral around Western Europe?
Zero. All* the Poles are in Eastern Europe.
*Actually, there are some Poles in Western Europe, but they’re removable.

How august of you!
well ratty the two II are supposed to trick people into thinking that it is really the number 11 and so lead to confusion. you can’t put down 11 to signify 2 in the roman counting system because they didn’t use those number symbols. i used two uppercase i.

There is a whole series of those cat science jokes.
Cats and science; hmmmm – very strange mix.

ITYM Chemistry Cat.
mwf had either this or a similar whole-genome test done. This article confirms my suspicions about it (despite being the Original Hypochondriac Whinger, I haven’t had it done).
In August 2013, the genetic-testing company 23andMe began running a compelling national television commercial, in which attractive young people said that for $99 you could learn “hundreds of things about your health,” including that you “might have an increased risk of heart disease, arthritis, gallstones, hemochromatosis” (www.ispot.tv/ad/7qoF/23-and-me). It was the centerpiece of the company’s campaign to sign up 1 million consumers. On November 22, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent 23andMe a warning letter ordering it to “immediately discontinue marketing the PGS until such time as it receives FDA marketing authorization for the device.” On December 5, the company announced that it was complying with the FDA’s demands and discontinued running the commercial, noting on its website, “At this time, we have suspended our health-related genetic tests to comply immediately with the directive to discontinue new consumer access during our regulatory review process.”
