OldMarine Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 There was a flashback segment on one of the PBS weekend quiz shows recently that used the periodic table to spell the answers or to decode them. I wish I'd bookmarked the broadcast because it was hilarious. Only half of the panel knew anything about the elements and the other half provided the humor.

Arthur Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 My Chemistry department was known for some rather "academic" members but the departmental parties were known for their punch -you didn't drink two glasses.

Nessalco Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Of course, there's always dihydrogen monoxide..... Kevin 1
lloyd Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) And oxygen dihydride, Kevin. In fact, some time this winter and spring, I had over 65 million moles of oxygen dihydride I had carefully stored stolen from me! Also...I don't know WHERE we came up with it, but by the time I was 10, we school chums were chanting the "Little Willy was a Chemist" ditty, and we knew what the two formulae expressed were!

Space33 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Do you think chemical workers are unionized? I got another one: A neutron walks into a bar. He asks the bartender, "How much for a beer?" The bartender offers him a warm smile and says, "For you, no charge".
RichardH08 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Recently, a planned EVA mission from the ISS had to be postponed for a couple of days because the two male crew members who were scheduled to perform the mission were suffering from colds. A newspaper report was headlined “Men Delay E-V Activity”.
