science jokes ahoy!

Boingboing is having an open thread for science jokes, and there are some awesome groaners already:



A malacologist was chilling at home drinking a beer and watching Adventure Time. There was a knock at his door & he irritatedly stood to answer it.

On his porch was a haplotrema vancouverense. "Can I borrow your phone?" Piped up the snail.

"Fuck no." Said the scientist, kicking the snail off his porch.

TWO YEARS later the scientist was at home chilling out, drinking a beer and watching Regular Show. There was a knock at his door.

It was the very same haplotrema."What the fuck was that about?"

while we're on the topic of the intersection of geekdom with reality...

Looking for a gift this holiday season for the chemist in your life who already owns a vanity license plate? Look no further than a quantum physics-inspired lamp!



I love it.
