He replied, “Watts it to ya, I’m ohm, ain’t I?”

Zoologists vs. Paleontologists

A controversy is raging this morning in the French Academy of Sciences between factions of zoologists and paleontologists. The argument centers on the identification of a fossil skull found by student naturalists doing field work near the northern French village of D’Eau-Remy. The more conservative scientists hold the majority opinion that the skull is from an extinct species of ape similar to the Barbary ape of Gibraltar which is the last living primate still found in Europe. Spokesperson for this opinion, Dr. Luke Monand of the University of Lyons stated that many types of primate roamed what is now Italy and Spain about five million years ago and it had been long theorised that some may have travelled as far as the Franco-German border country. The lesser held but more spectacular view stated by Auguste Delacorde of the Natural History Museum of Paris declares that the skull is from neither ape nor man and accepts the find as positive proof of the existence of the legendary monster known to the ancient Frankish tribes as ‘Tit-dos’ (pronounced tee-doe), in many ways similar to the North American Sasquatch and the Tibetan Yeti.

The task of identifying the fossil has been given to Drs. Hardy Froliche of the Museum of Life (Musee de la Vie) in Geneva and Isabel Deschamps of the French Academy, both are noted paleontolog ists. The European scientific community is now awaiting the answer to one of the most unusual problems ever encountered.

Did the skull belong to a well-travelled ape or is the D’Eau-Remy fossil a Tit-dos?

The Metro 73 Bus

This guy was walking home when he saw that Metro #73 bus had crashed into a pole.

Right after he walked past it, the driver’s window opened and a mostly-eaten apple sailed out of it. He was wondering what was going on when he noticed a message scrolling across the green dot-matrix display that usually shows the route number and destination:

bus error (core dumped)

Yang and Lee

“So, if I tie my serial communications cable into a knot, will that change the parity of the electrons?”

“Of course it won’t change. Recall that Yang and Lee got the Nobel Prize in ’57 for showing that parity is knot-conserved.”
