Funny picture thread

[lac]

Just checked a few of his stand up bits out. I didn't think it was very good. What's a good show of his?

[taolurker]

I remember seeing Bob Saget locally doing stand up before he was on Full House and I thought he was funny... I haven't actually seen any specials he's done that really compare to what I saw live except the time he was on Rodney Dangerfield's Young Comedians.

BTW Funny Picture thread, not which comedian is funny thread (although that would be interesting to see what everyone's taste in comedians was).

[Paelos]

Considering my vast science knowledge  , I have a no idea what that means.

[Goreschach]

You're not missing anything. It isn't funny.

[Mosesandstick]

The bosons and the fermions are real particles, everything else is a joke.

[Lantyssa]

More of an attempt at a joke.

[IainC]

You see it is missing levitons, the fundamental particles that convey humour.

[Musashi]

Didn't help.

[Mosesandstick]

I actually chuckled at some of it. Maybe it's because of the physics degree 

[Samwise]

The "top" and "bottom" quarks aren't in BDSM gear.  Fail.

Well great. Now we not only know your degree is garbage, we also know your funnybone is broken.

[tgr]

I'm vaguely smirking at some of them. I've seen much worse.

Gym humor followed by Biology. I expect a math joke next in the curriculum.

[K9]

Biology != Physics

[Sky]

(although that would be interesting to see what everyone's taste in comedians was).

Since Carlin is gone, it's all about the Louis CK.

[Morat20]

Biology != Physics

Yes it is. It's just really gunky physics that moves in a creepy fashion.

Like chemistry is physics that smells bad, and sometimes explodes.

[LK]

I originally wrote Physics but some little nagging voice in my head said Biology. Probably something from that chart.

Physics is just math with friction.

I love Lewis Black.

I love Lewis Black.

I concur with this.  I do miss Bill Hicks, though.

Physics is just math with friction.

Physics is applied mathematics which makes it so much harder. It sucks when the universe chooses your mathematical problems for you, it's like a particular nasty teacher in that respect.

[Mosesandstick]

Ah you went there. Chemistry is just applied physics  (and so on).

[Nebu]

Ah you went there. Chemistry is just applied physics  (and so on).

I'd love to see a physicist come into my lab and attempt natural products synthesis. 

While chemistry relies on the application of physical principles, it's far more than applied physics.

[IainC]

Heh. My very first job out of school was working as an electro-mechanical design apprentice for Hotpoint. We used to destruction test washing machines in a bunker by bolting a lump of concrete to one side of the drum (this simulated an uneven and excessive load like a bunch of towels) then measuring how long they took to explode.

[Mosesandstick]

Come on Nebu, read Jeff Kelly's post. I was being sarcastic!

[Samwise]

even I was being snarky.

[Jeff Kelly]

funny that's exactly the strip I had in mind while posting my comment

[Kail]

Yeah, my chem prof used to make that joke.  "When you get into University, you learn that Biology is really Chemistry, Chemistry is really Physics, Physics is really Math, and Math is really hard."

[Morat20]

Hell yeah math is really hard. I think the part of my brain that's needed to really 'get' math is broken. I just can't handle the abstraction, I guess. When I first learned Laplace transforms I think I managed to retain enough to get a C on a test. I never understood them. It was just...gibberish you used in certain patterns.

Two years later, in a circuits class, we used them to handle circuits that included a capacitor. THEN I understood them. I understood what they were, how they were used, and what was going on at all stages. Because I had problems I understood, a tool that helped me continue solving the problem, and a result I understood.

I just couldn't hack it abstractly.

Oddly enough, I find coding really easy, and you'd think there'd be a skill set overlap. It's going from A to Z via a very logicaly, yet undetermined path, using a potentially unlimited set of tools, in a rigorous and logical manner...which often requires you be innovative in your tool use. Sounds like math to me. :)

[Prospero]

I think math just needs to sit for a couple years in your brain to be absorbed. I remember coming back to some of the uglier parts of linear algebra after a couple years away and finding it to be the easiest thing ever after having struggled with it a lot before.

[Teleku]

I hated all the damn math class's they made us take for CS.  Pure useless filler.  I understand some of the arguments that it helps train a way of thinking, but really?  You don't use 90% of that bullshit in coding at all, unless you are actually coding a physics engine or something.  There is no need to make programmers take 3 levels of Calculus.  Then again, a problem with CS degree's in general is that they teach to much abstraction without teaching enough practical application.

Coding can be easy even if you suck at math.

[Draegan]

To get my Mech/Aero Engineering degree I had to take all the way up to Calc 5.  The only undergrad engineering degree that hand to go that high.  :(  It raped my mind.
