 These engineering and science tech-centric
jokes, song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends
and websites across the Internet. I check back occasionally for new fodder, but
it seems all the old content is reappearing all over (like this is). The humor is
light-hearted and clean and sometimes slightly assaultive to the easily-offended,
so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.
Humor #1,
#2, #3
There's a good reason that many refer to
the self-proclaimed scientist-cum-actors and other public figures as Celebretards! Those dopes latch onto a
politically correct cause and simply regurgitate the same garbage that their idiotic peers are spewing. Remember
Ted Danson's famous prediction back in the late 1980s that the world's oceans would be dead in ten years? How
about Meryl Streep's weeping rant before Congress claiming that Alar on apples was killing our children? It helps
them to justify the extremely wasteful and excessive lives that they personally lead. The examples could fill
volumes. I just thought of two more: John Travolta, who lectures on global warming while owning and piloting
multiple jets, and Al Gore, who's
usually-empty Tennessee mansion consumes the electricity equivalent to 20 typical homes. "In total, Gore paid
nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006."
