OldMarine Posted May 10, 2017 Share 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.

starxplor Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 An oldie but (not so) goodie:A man walks up to a bar and orders a glass of H2O. Another man sitting at the bar says I will have a glass of H2O too. He proceeds to clean the bar surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessalco Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Of course, there's always dihydrogen monoxide..... Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd Posted May 11, 2017 Share 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 Share 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
