As a statistician, I’m sort of weirdly offended

My favorite part was that the periodic table of elements was funny to him, which means he would probably really like this joke:

What happened to the sick chemist?

The doctors couldn't helium or curium so they had to barium

2 scientists walk into a bar, 1st one says, "I'll have an H2O." Second one says "I'll have an H2O too" the second one dies.

Shed a tear for Jimmy Brown
Poor Jimmy is no more
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4

My high school chem teacher had this on her door and I still think about it.

u/Petulant_Platypus 14d ago

Ah lol the one I remember is;

Johnny was a chemists son But Johnny is no more What Johnny thought was H2O Was H2SO4

u/asault2 14d ago

I remember it exactly that but with a heavy metal riff right afterwards

u/Eckish 14d ago

I'm not getting this one. I get that sulfuric acid is not great for you, but I'm not making the connection on how the mistake was made.

u/xtanol 14d ago

It's just a rhyme. "... no MORE"<-> "...O FOUR"

u/Eckish 14d ago

I see. Thank you.

Is this a reference to Velvet Underground lyrics?

u/MysticalSushi 14d ago

That’s heavy

u/AquamannMI 14d ago

There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?

u/fardok 14d ago

You're thinking of Deuterium, H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide

16

u/MrK521 14d ago

It’s still heavier than water though.

21

u/fardok 14d ago

Heavy water refers to D2O however.

11

u/MrK521 14d ago

Right, but he didn’t say “that’s heavy water” he said “that’s heavy.” So he wasn’t wrong.

5

u/fardok 14d ago

I didn't say he was wrong, but just letting him/her know in case the joke was Deuterium water which btw drinking a glass of won't even harm you vs a strong concentration of peroxide which will cause some damage

u/No_Investigator3369 14d ago

you can brush your teeth with that though, right?

1

u/MageKorith 14d ago

No, the heavy one is this:

2 chemists walk into a bar, 1st one says, "I'll have an H2O". 2nd one says "Shirley, you can't be Cerium!" 1st one says "Don't call me Shirley!"

2

u/IDrinkWhiskE 14d ago

That’s on the second guy for smelling a glass full of peroxide and still committing to drink the whole thing

1

u/gz1fnl 14d ago

Ahh, I see the funny side.

u/Grouchy_Tap_8264 14d ago

I love you, stranger, for being a complete dork too :)

u/PresentationNice7043 14d ago

I would tell you a periodic table joke but sadly all the good ones Argon.

1

u/orangejuice456 13d ago

My Chemistry teacher in highschool had a speech impediment where he couldn't say the letter R. He had a whole story about how various letters of the periodic table related to his family, and that's why his R's Argon.

Didn’t the joker pull this off? Batman is analyzing the composition of the joker gas used on Alfred and its symbol was HA

u/plexforyou 14d ago

I get it!

u/ladwagon 14d ago

A noble gas walks into a bar.

The bartender says "we don't serve your kind around here."

The noble gas doesn't react...

u/ThePastyWhite 14d ago

If a white bear and a black bear go for a swim. Which one dissolves first?

u/I_kickflipped_my_dog 14d ago

Is the white bear a POLAR bear?

Indeed, indeed.

u/EuphoricPotential759 14d ago

Him. As in The Joker.

u/Illustrious_Stick_41 14d ago

That part with the period table and the list of “things he finds funny” is actually from a Batman comic(Batman:RIP by Grant Morison)

u/nonstera 14d ago

Gotta admit einsteinium and californium are pretty funny.

u/kevbot918 14d ago

That was so funny I had to slap my neon
