Summer Friday Fun Blog: Science Humor

Posted on by Michele Arduengo, PhD

It is the start of summer here in Wisconsin, so it’s time for some Friday Fun (#FridayFun) blog posts on Promega Connections. To kick us off, I have scraped the internet for a few good and groaner, G-rated science jokes.

So, here it goes, a few jokes to send you smiling (or shaking your head) into your weekend.

Most of these were on several web sites, with no attribution to the originator of the jokes, and a few of them go back light years to my college days. Do you have a favorite science joke? Share it in the comments.

  1. I love a good science joke! Argon happens to be my favorite element, and your joke really tickled me! Argon slogans can also be really funny, I have a collection of them over at my site, that you should take a look at. Let me know what you think: Argon Slogans
