Just For Laughs (or not quite)

Never a day goes by without me worrying about my bleak future, especially where my future job is concerned. More often than not I find myself fretting excessively about my distant (or not quite at the rate we're going) future than the present. Then, a friend by the name of S.S. gave me an idea,  or rather, a suggestion as to what I should do to earn a living.

Lo and behold, it's ------ DOING STAND-UP COMEDY.

To tell you the truth, I am really not all that funny, but I must say, I have indeed, developed a great sense of humour over the past few years. I merely enjoy distorting things, anything ranging from the Sciences, the Arts and even Humanitarian subjects. I never intend to do those subjects injustice; in fact, it's probably because I'm passionate about learning that I try to infuse a morsel or two of humour into those subjects so that I get other people to grow fond of those subjects as well.

My friend, S.S. and another friend N told me to just compile whatever jokes that I've either come across or invented myself, here is a list of my favourites

Note: I'm into nerdy, science-y jokes, if you readers simply can't stand reading and deriving humour from said nature of jokes, feel free to skip the entire thing.

The ones that I came up with myself
1. One of my friends, NH (no, she's not Ammonia) owns a schoolbag which has a semblance of a spiderman costume design and hence is called "Spiderman" by my other friend S.S. (refer to top) only quite recently (probably S.S isn't very observant as she only sits next to her). We were taught how to use the Fleming's Right Hand Rule and Left Hand Rule to determine the direction of current/induced current... you get the idea a few days ago. And then for goodness' knows what reason, I thought of the what spiderman always does with his hands, with his fingers to be more precise.

Just observe this picture very carefully:



Look at his right hand, does it look like how one would use the Fleming's Right Hand Rule?



Admit it, they do look similar, though not identical. Hence I call the Fleming's Hand Rules, the Spiderman rules. S.S. even further modified my so-called "distortion" by giving Spiderman extra powers (shooting spiderwebs isn't really what I would call "real" powers). If the thumb is pointed towards Spiderman's opponent, a force like that in Star Wars will be exerted on him or her. If the forefinger is pointed towards the opponent, a magnetic force will then be exerted on the opponent whereas if the second finger is pointed towards the opponent, an electric current will be produced and causing that opponent to be electrocuted. Pretty impressive stuff huh? Obviously these powers are better than mere spiderwebs.

2. What elements can make up one of Malaysian's local delicacies?
Calcium, Phosphorus, Astatine and Iodine.
Because CaPAtI - formulae of the aforementioned elements.
GEDDIT?

3. What song can be played to an immobile part of a plant which causes it to dance to a beat?
Log-a-rhythm. Geddit??

I came up with a few eons ago but I have forgotten them, here is a list of jokes I came across:
1. If you sinned 90 times, you'll get caught 45 times.
sin 90 = cot 45

2. A hydrogen atom met another hydrogen atom on the streets. Hydrogen atom A told Hydrogen atom B, "Oh man, I think I lost an electron"
Hydrogen atom B said "Are you sure?"
Hydrogen atom A replied "Yes I'm positive."

3. Who is the first electricity detective?
Sherlock Ohms

4. What do you do to dead chemists?
Barium, geddit? Bury-em

I guess what I'm trying to say is, try to derive humour from everything. Treat everything to at least the power of 100 where humour is concerned, then you can differentiate it 99 times and get different things out of it. This is not a joke, pun intended.

Cheers
