Pointless Information

One day our professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. A pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask, "Why do we have to learn this pointless information"

"To save lives." the professor responded quickly and continued the lecture.

A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. "So how does physics save lives?" he persisted.

"It keeps the ignoramuses like you out of medical school," replied the professor.

Laws of Household Physics

Ever notice that the laws of household physics are every bit as real as every other law in the universe? Here are a few examples:

  1. A child's eagerness to assist in any project varies in inverse proportion to the ability to actually do the work involved.
  2. Leftovers always expand to fill all available containers plus one.
  3. A newly washed window gathers dirt at double the speed of an unwashed window.
  4. The availability of a ballpoint pen is inversely proportional to how badly it is needed.
  5. The same clutter that will fill a one-car garage will fill a two-car garage.
  6. Three children plus two cookies equals a fight.
  7. The potential for disaster is in direct proportion to the number of TV remote controls divided by the number of viewers.
  8. The number of doors left open varies inversely with the outdoor temperature.
  9. The capacity of any hot water heater is equal to one and one-half sibling showers.
  10. What goes up must come down, except for bubble gum, kites and slightly used Rice Krispies.

Black Sheep in Scotland

An engineer, an experimental physicist, a theoretical physicist, and a philosopher were hiking through the hills of Scotland. Cresting the top of one hill, they see, on top of the next, a black sheep. The engineer says: "What do you know, the sheep in Scotland are black." "Well, some of the sheep in Scotland are black," replies the experimental physicist. The theoretical physicist considers this for a moment and says "Well, at least one of the sheep in Scotland is black." "Well," the philosopher responds, "on one side, anyway."

Shortest Day of the Year

I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented that the next day would be the shortest day of the year. My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I explained to her that the amount of daylight changes, not the actual amount of time. Needless to say, she was very disappointed.
