On io9 today, apparently the Angry Bird Nebula is surrounded by boks…
Nitpick: The proper, funnier punchline is “There is now.”
But it’s 69 + C. I don’t get it. It’d be funny if it was “69 + u”, I guess.
Nope.

∫2xdx is a definite integral and equals exactly 69.

The indefinite integral, ∫2xdx, however, is x[sup]2[/sup] + C
What did Bobby Fischer have in common with Chuck Knoblauch?
[spoiler]E4 all the time.
Exegesis: “e4” in chess notation means “Pawn to King’s fourth” which was Fischer’s long-time exclusive choice of how to open the game. E4 in baseball scorer’s notation means “error by the second baseman”. While with the NY Yankees, Knoblauch, though a veteran, suddenly and completely forgot how to throw the ball to first base from second.[/spoiler]
Not exactly much specialized knowledge needed, but…
An Afrikaner is feeling pretty poorly and goes to see his doctor. The doctor does a battery of test and says to come back in a week. Guy goes back and says
“Well, doc, what did you find?”
The doctor says “I’ve got some bad news and some good news. Which do you want first?”
The Afrikaner says “Give me the GOOD news first.”
The doctor says—“You’re gonna die!”
The Afrikaner says, “If that’s the good news, what can the bad news be?”
The doctor says-----“You’re gonna die of sickle cell anemia.”
“Spherical bastards!”
Why? [spoiler]
“Because they were bastards, when looked at from any side” - Fritz Zwicky [/spoiler]
Were these plumbers supposed to be here this show?
ETA: beaten to it by JMLVT
So people were drinking and deriving?
I’d rather say they were doing the opposite
Heh. It works on two levels.
You step in to nitpick me and…
fail calculus forever. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Applying my rather rudimentary German language skillz, I’d suggest that they could form the basis for a nice dinner
Fischer = fisherman
Knoblauch = garlic
I find this one extremely funny, but none of my friends seem to think so:

Doesn’t really require any special knowledge, but it’s not very funny to non-programmers, I guess…
I think it’s kind of funny. I am a programmer but I don’t know what that has to do with it.
On Edit: Never Mind. I just saw the “can you code” response at the bottom. That explains the programming connection.
Yeah, that’s kind of like the story about the computer programmer who is out for a walk by the river and a voice in the reeds croaks “Help!”. He looks round and sees a big green frog, and as he’s looking it croaks “Help!” again. Seeing him notice it, the frog carries on “Please help! I was turned into a frog by a wicked witch, and I need you to kiss me so I can turn back into a princess!”
So the programmer picks up the frog and puts it in his pocket and carries on with his walk. The frog says “Please kiss me right now! If you do, I will stay overnight with you.” But the programmer just takes the frog out of his pocket, smiles at it, and puts it away again, though not before the frog says “Please! I’ll stay with you for the whole weekend!”.
When the programmer gets home, he finds an old fish tank, decorates it with some artificial pond weed and a toy or two, and puts the frog in it. The frog screams “Let me out! Let me out and kiss me so I can turn back into a princess, and I swear by my father’s crown that I will stay with you for two whole weeks and do anything you want!!”. But the programmer just says, “Look, I’m a computer programmer. I wouldn’t know what to do with a girlfriend. But a talking frog is way cool!”
What do you get when you cross Don Corleone with Jacques Derrida?
An offer you can’t understand.
Any guy can write his name in the snow in cursive. Dr. Kegel can do it in Morse Code.
And see, now you’ll get today’s Multiplex strip.
I heard David Mamet tell this one at a talk he gave:
Two sirenians come to a rabbi, and tell him they want to create a new prayer service.
The rabbi says, Dugongs don’t make a rite.
