I saw this on a teeshirt at the NYU bookstore:

"If you're not part of the solution,

You're part of the precipitate."


Yeah, the fumes from the bunsen burners, they can get to you.

Wonder if this bit of drollery is  disinformation by physicists to discredit their scientific comrades?

Definition: "Part of the PERCIPITATE";  (Example) Preamble To Precipitate The Destruction Of Religious Artifacts.  It ain't all bad.  Just perceived that way.

Would you rather to be an off-gas, (fart), than a precipitate? (turd)  Figure of speech.

Here's one joke from a physicist...

Heisenberg is out for a drive when he's stopped by a traffic cop. The cop says 'Do you know how fast you were going?' Heisenberg says 'No, but I know where I am.'

A good film about a math wizard who goes nuts and his daughter who fears she is or will also.

It has a scene where a band of math geeks have a song called "i" (small case "I" is an imaginary number in high math circles).  The band stands still and plays nothing.  The people in the audience, a house party, chuckle at the drollery.  This exchange between the Gwyneth Paltrow character and the Jake Gyllenhall character sets up the joke for the moviegoers:

Hal: Well, I'm gonna be late. Some friends of mine are in this band. They're playing in a bar on Diversey, way down the bill, they go on about 2 to 2:30. I said I'd be there.
Catherine: Great.
Hal: They're all in the math deparment, they're really good. They have this song called 'i', you'd like it. Like lower-cased i. They just stand there and don't play anything for three minutes.
Catherine: Imaginary number.
Hal: It's a math joke... You see why they're way down on the bill.
Catherine: That's a long way to drive to see some nerds in a band.
Hal: You know, I hate when people say that. It's not really that long of a drive.
Catherine: So, they are nerds.
Hal: Oh, they're raging geeks. But they're geeks who, you know, can dress themselves and hold down a job at a major university. Some of them have switched from glasses to contacts. They, uh, play sports, they play in a band, they get laid suprisingly often... So, it makes you kinda question the whole set of terms. Geek, nerd, wonk, dilbert, paste eater...
Catherine: You're in this band, aren't you.
Hal: Ok, yes. I play the drums. You wanna come? I never sing, I swear to God.

who turned in a Zen Cartoon:  just a blank square.

Legend has it that the publisher paid him with a Zen pay check.  8o)

TY, I really liked that.

Einstein was also once pulled over for sppeeding, according to legend.

The highway patrolman asked him, "Know how fast you were going?"

Einstein replied, "No, not that it matters, officer.  I'm working ona theory showing speed and distance to be relative."

wait a sec, I have been called a little shit before, giggling
