Dimwit Celebrities Exhibit Lack of Science Knowledge

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."

Innovative Power Products (IPP) CoolChips - RF Cafe Website

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
