Although it's often very geeky. We're (very often) surprisingly un-serious people. Being a total geek, I love a good science nerd joke and tend to get sent a lot of them by my friends. I thought I'd share a few that made me smile or laugh outright. These are cheesy. You have been warned:
Chemistry
A good bit of chemistry humour never fails to get a cackle out of me. Of course it's almost always about combinations of chemicals and invariably a little bit puzzling to the non-chemically inclined:
Students
Though often the things that students write or ask are just straight-up depressing (like a second year zoology student asking me once if a sea anemone was a plant in a course titled 'Invertebrate Zoology'), they are often good for a chuckle. Really, ask any lecturer. This one made me guffaw:
Biology
And of course, being a biologist, my favourites tend to be biologically themed, like this little groan-worthy gem:
And, my personal favourite recently, drumroll ...
Perhaps it's the time I spent recently in Galápagos that made this one hit home so hard but it really had me stitches.
So yes, science geeks do have a sense of humour, warped as it is. Sometimes we like to share it (to the detriment of our long-suffering friends and loved ones). At any rate, I hope these brought a smile to at least some of you :)
Happy Steeming People,
The Wise Fox

I was going to think of a Chemistry joke but all the good ones Argon!
Hehe, yeah I saw that one too 😂
Just popping by to say hola hollo. Keep up the great posts. :)
Thanks for stopping by :)
Showed your post to my girl friend who comes from a non science background. She didn't understand any of the jokes!
But for me it was a good laugh!!!
Happy Sunday XD
Glad you enjoyed them ;)
The adapted one is gold! Good post
Right? Absolutely cracked me up...
My favorite joke was the first one.
Excellent jokes with good humor!
I was tired after finishing up a bit of work and this gave me some good laughs. I enjoyed the jokes so much that I went through them again. The OMG joke is too good lol!!
Always a good time to read something like this when you're all 'worked out' ;)
This is humourous. I was a science student so I can understand all the humour! Thanks for sharing. It is a nice and easy fun read!:)
I had a good laugh. Especially the part on the retrovirus...that is a killer
Yeah, his hair is amazing 😂 Reminds me of that one character from 'that 70's show'
haha the first joke is the best one
I absolutely love this kind of humor, @holothewise! My fav was the top one (element of surprise), second place was OMG, and third was the virus/retrovirus. You made my day!

Yeah, I think element of surprise is so funny because you can totally here her voice going 'oh my gawwwd'. The adapted one just cracked me up though. It must be a biologist thing 😁
