Statistics joke.

three statisticions (sp?) (people who work with stats and shit)are out hunting. They see a deer. First guy misses 10 feet to the left. Second guy misses 10 feet to the right. The third guy starts jumpni gup and down. "i shot it i shot it."

Heard it on "west wing." Thought it was humerous. Shared.

The way I heard it:

Three statisticions are out hunting. They see a deer. First guy misses 10 feet to the left. Second guy misses 10 feet to the right. The third guy shoots and the deer goes running off. Then he starts jumpnig up and down. "i shot it i shot it."

And On that day, the Lords of the land said unto their Master Architect, "The temple you have made to the gods of Wasabi and Maki has brought us no great prosperity" and they sent out him into the lands.

As he traveled to a far off land, he found he wasn't traveling alone, but that he had gained companions, and when they found their new land, they started work on a new temple, one that would be OPEN to all who wanted to worship.

1 guy was 10 units too wide, the other guy was 10 units too wide to the other direction. I'm assuming the middle guy shot the average of the first two, hence he shot it.

He didn't have to shoot. If he didn't shoot at all, then the average of all three was that the deer got shot.

0 means the middle, therefore it got shot.

If you go to an all-science college full of this kind of stuff scrawled on toilet cubicle doors, then you learn to find it funny. The classic one in my department is:

"Two atoms are sitting at a bar. One says to the other, 'Hey, I've lost an electron!' The other says, 'Are you sure?' 'Yes, I'm positive!' "

It's quite well known even outside the world of scientists, geeks and nerds.

Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

Q. If a bear in Yosemite, and one in Alaska fall into water, which one would dissolve faster?
A. The bear in Alaska because it's polar.

A neutron walks into a bar, sits down and asks for a drink. Finishing, the neutron asks "How much?"
The bartender says, "For you, no charge."

Why do chemists like nitrates so much?

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who kept all of his cash in a bucket,
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

Haha, I love scientific jokes!

Prove that cats have nine tails: No cat has eight tails. One cat has one more tail than no cat. Therefore, one cat has nine tails.

Pi equals 3 for small enough Pi and big enough 3...

A mathematician and his friend come upon some sheep. The friend asks: "How many that might be?" The mathematician immediately answers: "Why, 3746." The friend is wondering: "Wow, how did you know so fast?" "I just counted the legs and divided by 4."

"The professor's marriage isn't going well, I hear?" "Yeah, well, he's a mathematician and she can't be counted on."

Why do mathematicians confuse Halloween and Christmas Eve? Because Oct 31 = Dec 25.

Do you already know the newest statistical joke? Probably...


I have PDF document with 22 pages full of German jokes of that kind, if someone's interested.

I'd never heard those before! Some more geeky chemistry stuff, some not so geeky:

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.
Biochemistry is the study of carbon compounds that crawl.

Remember, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the
precipitate!

It is disconcerting to reflect on the number of students we have flunked
in chemistry for not knowing what we later found to be untrue.

Two students wanted to celebrate the
long and light summer evening by fishing in their boat in the Norwegian
fjord. But first they went to the lab, grabbed a bottle with the
magic label 96%, and set off. After some time, the one said to
the other:
- I am afraid we have done something wrong. This is not ethanol,
it is sulphuric acid.
- I know. I have just peed a hole in he boat.

Q. What do you do when you find a dead chemist?
A. Barium.

Q. What is the purpose of a doctor?
A. Helium.


In a recent contest, The Washington Post asked readers to dream up new
elements for the Periodic Table. Among the best of the batch:

Limbaughium Lb
The heaviest known element. It possesses an ever-expanding mass. Very
white. Acidic. Emits heat but no light. Instantly polarises all elements
that come in contact with it. Repels protons and electrons; attracts
only morons.

Billclintium Bc
With a slick appearance and slimy texture, this element undergoes
a series of interesting changes when in hot water.

Canadium Cn
Similar to Americium, but a little denser. Much more rigid.
Often called Boron.

Budweisium Bs
Has no taste or smell; is often indistinguishable from water.

Cabmium Cb
Found in abundance, except when needed. Exists in two states, in motion
and at rest. When in motion, it cannot be stopped, no matter what you
do. Cabmium has a charge associated with it. The charge is variable,
and scientists have not determined the formula for calculating it.

Politicium Po
Contains a great deal of gas. Similar to radon in that it can
reach lethal concentrations in the House.

Congress Cg
Atomic number 525. Can never be found in a solution.

Snot Sn
Bonds forever with corduroy.

Probably not. Let me explain:

Oct = Octal, or "base 8"
31 = 11001 (in binary)

Dec = Decimal
25 = 11001 (in binary)

So 31 in octal (base 8) is the same as 25 in decimal (base 10)
