This is here because I wasn’t sure where it should go. Not really trying to start a game. I’m sitting here this am sipping from my coffee torus and musing on science jokes, good and bad. Yesterday, I saw a personalized license plate on a car that I thought actually clever; “AUNRULE”. Tell me your science jokes ---

There’s a box in the back seat, which he opens. “Hey, do you guys know you have a dead cat in this box?” Schrodinger says “We do now!” ---

Did someone mention my name? (Actually, my choice of handle has nothing to do with Schrodinger, nor any desire to harm felines - it’s simply a play on the phrase “curiosity killed the cat”). Some great responses already. My contribution, which I’ve posted before (hell, I may have first read it here): What’s purple and commutes? An Abelian grape. ETA: I don’t get the joke in the OP, please can someone elaborate? ---

There’s a box in the back seat, which he opens. “Hey, do you guys know you have a dead cat in this box?” Schrodinger says “We do now!” I like the version Sheldon Cooper tells on an episode of Big Bang Theory.

Two mathematicians are eating dinner at a restaurant and arguing about mathematical knowledge in the general population. The pessimistic one says most people don’t know any math, at best they know enough arithmetic to balance their checkbooks. The optimistic one disagrees and says a lot of people remember the math they learned in high school and college. The pessimist goes to the bathroom, and while he’s gone, the optimist calls their waitress over and says to her “In a few minutes, I’m going to ask you a question, and I want you to reply ‘one third x cubed’.” She says “What?” He says, “just repeat after me, ‘one third x cubed’” She walks away muttering “one third x cubed”. The pessimist returns to the table and they resume their argument. The optimist says, “ok, let’s just try an experiment. We’ll pick a random person, like, say, our waitress, and ask her a math question.” He calls the waitress over and says, “excuse me, can you tell me what is the integral of x squared dx?” The waitress replies “one third x cubed”. The optimist says “Ha, there, you see?” As the waitress is walking away, she calls back over her shoulder, “plus a constant”. ---
