1. "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'" --- Isaac Asimov
2. How many relativity scientists does it take to replace a light bulb?
Two. One holds the bulb while the other one rotates the universe
3. "The seminar on Time Travel will be held two weeks ago."
4. A passenger on a train walks up to Einstein and says "Excuse me sir, but does New York stop at this train?"
5. An eccentric physics professor is well known throughout campus for having strange tests which often border on the philosophical.
An ill-prepared student goes in for his final exam with this professor, racking his brain to keep all his formulas straight. He sits down, and the professor walks in to start the exam. Grinning, he sets a chair on his desk and writes the exam's only question on the board: "Prove that this chair does not exist." The student groans and drops his pencil, realizing that he hasn't any clue how to solve this problem. Deciding that if he's going to fail, he'll do so with style, the student writes two words on his paper, turns it in, and gets the highest grade in the class.
What were his two words?
"What chair?"
6. Proposition: all odd numbers are prime.
The liberal: Don't say 'odd', say 'even challenged'. We feel that all numbers are equally prime.
The optimist: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 11 is prime. Yes, all the odd numbers are prime.
The bigot: 3 is prime. Yes, all the odd numbers are prime.
The computer programmer: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 7 is prime, 7 is prime, 7 is prime, ...
The Zen buddhist: 4 is not prime, 6 is not prime, 8 is not prime, 10 is not prime. Yes, all the odd numbers are prime.
The theologian: Yes, all the odd numbers are prime.
