Up in heaven, three great physicsts were playing hide and go seek: Newton, Pascal, and Einstein. It was Einsteins turn to seek, so Einstein closed his eyes and counted to 10 while pascal and newton went to hide. Pascal hid behind a tree, but Newton just stood there and drew a 1 meter by 1 meter box around him on the ground. when einstein was done counting, he opened his eys and said, "Newton, what are you doing? you're supposed to hide! you're out!" And Newton replied, "No, you're wrong, im not Newton, im Pascal! See, im one Newton per square meter! Pascal is out!"

Two atoms bump into each other. One says "I think I lost an electron!" The other asks, "Are you sure?", to which the first replies, "I'm positive."

Hi Dafrca, the Pascal and the Newton per metre squared are equivalent units of pressure, only the term 'Pascal' is on the way out it seems, and is being replaced by the more prosaic N/m^2...hence 'Pascal is out'. And you're not a Dork - don't you use pound-force per foot squared or something in the States?

Ah, now I get the humor in the joke.  :laugh:

Thanks for the help!

The only pressure measurement I know of is the PSI or Pounds per Square Inch. The most common usage is in vehicle tire air pressure. But I am not in a profession that would use such things. maybe there is more for those who are in that kind of thing.  :p

I found the second one funny and I am not a physicist. Course the first one went right over my head. Sort of Stelth Bommer like.... Swoosh....

I join dafrca here. You have that impression after fdinishing the first one of somethionmg funny just passing in front of you and you not getting it. I thought it was a question of equivalences or something like that, but didn't get it in any case. Second one is good though :)

Regards,

Xavi

Yah missed the first one as well... could remember something about a measurement unit called 'newtons', but was left trying to guess what the joke was :oo   :)

Hi!

These are similar to some doctor jokes, for the death of me I could remember one if I tried.... :D
