Re: Scientific chuckles
Paul Erdos, currently most prolific mathematician in history, is always making jokes about how old he is.
e.g. He says that he is two and a half billion years old, because in his youth the age of the Earth was known to be two billion years and now it is known to be 4.5 billion years

Re: Scientific chuckles
During October 1930, Einstein was traveling on a train. Another passenger asked him what his occupation was. Einstein replied that he was an artist's model, as he was constantly posing for sculptures and paintings

Duh... Among other things, you pointed that out earlier.
Do we compete in "let's notice the most obvious things and inform people"?
I was sure of the victory but now it's hard to tell...

Re: Scientific chuckles
The English mathematician John Wallis was a friend of Isaac Newton. According to his diary, Newton once bragged to Wallis about his little dog Diamond
"My dog Diamond knows some mathematics. Today he proved two theorems before lunch."
"Your dog must be a genius," said Wallis.
"Oh I wouldn't go that far," replied Newton. "The first theorem had an error and the second had a pathological exception."

Now, I am not going to lie here Jupiter.... I died a little bit at the 3:19 time mark (insert dead smiley) It was like reliving my Bill Nye the Science Guy nightmare all over again.

Clearly you missed 03:20 to 03:46 then wintersprite1 - that's when Richard Feynman mentions astrology!

Re: Scientific chuckles
Scientific Experiments - The Rules
(1) something will go wrong just before your grant is up for review
(2) if the reading on your detector is correct, then you forgot to plug it in
(3) if several things can go wrong then they will do so all at the same time
(4) left to itself, your experiment will go from bad to worse - BUT if you pay attention to the experiment then it will take three times longer to complete than you thought it would
(5) when your experiment is just about to succeed, you will run out of grant money
