Heisenburg is pulled over by the highway patrol for speeding.
The cop asks the question"Sir, do you know how fast you were going?
He replies "No, but I know exactly where I am"

Little Timmy took a drink,
But he will drink no more,
For what he thought was H2O,
Was H2SO4.

What do you call the leader of a biology gang? The nucleus.

Genetics explains why you look like your father, and if you don't, why you probably should.

Why are frogs so happy? Because they can eat whatever bugs them!

How do you spot a bald eagle? Look for a bird with all its feathers combed over to one side.

Blood flows down one leg and up the other.

The pistol of a flower is its last line of defense against insects.

I’ve never been a good swimmer, my DNA almost drowned in its gene pool.

Mushrooms look like umbrellas because they grow in damp places.

Two scientists walked into a bar.

One scientist said, "I want some H2O."
The other scientist said, "I want some H2O too!"

The second one died.

A computer scientist, an engineer, and a mechanic are in a car driving down a narrow winding mountain road, when all of a sudden the brakes fail. The car flies down the road, narrowly averting flying off the road until halfway down they manage to come to a shuddering halt on a small side track. They all get out, shaking and terrified at the wild ride they'd just had.

The mechanic looks at the brakes and says, "They're shot, let's walk down to that town at the bottom of the road, find a towtruck, then come back and get the car and tow it to a garage to fix it."

The engineer looks at the brakes and says, "You know, with some paperclips, duct tape, and a bit of fourbetwo I reckon I can rig something up so that the brakes work enough to get us the rest of the way down safely."

The computer scientist looks at the brakes and says, "Why don't we go back up to the top of the mountain and see if it does it again?"

What's the difference between Civil and Mechanical Engineers?

- Mechanical Engineers build weapons platforms.

- Civil Engineers build targets.

Hey baby, if I was a particle and you were a quantum potential would you let me penetrate your classically forbidden region?

Argon walks into a bar and the barman yells "GET THE HELL OF MY BAR!"...

Argon doesn't react.
