Aug. 10th, 2004 06:56 pmETA: But I found something funny at yw.net. So I'm happier, somewhat: these are the best chemistry jokes I've come across in a while.
Q: What weapon can you make from the Chemicals Potassium, Nickel and Iron?
A: KNiFe.
It is disconcerting to reflect on the number of students we have flunked in chemistry for not knowing what we later found to be untrue. --quoted in Robert L. Weber, Science With a Smile (1992)
"A super-saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold."
Isaac Asimov said that if you want to find a chemist, ask him/her to discuss the following words: 1) mole 2) unionized. As he so eloquently put it, "If he starts talking about furry animals and organized labor, keep walking."
Definition: (Fe)male: Male with iron added, for greater strength, ductility, and magnetisim.
Q: What do you get when you combine Al Gore with O2?
A: Oxymoron
Q: What's the most important thing to learn in chemistry?
A: Never lick the spoon.

My brother's last high school chemistry class actually made fudge, toward the end. I don't think they did it in the actual lab, but it still disturbed me somewhat. ;)
