10 more nerd jokes (part 2)

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've got a bit of a soft spot for nerd jokes, so as it's been a while since I last featured any nerd jokes on my blog I think therefore that means it's time for another round up, with this week's batch of nerdosity featuring ducks, functions, and radioactive cats.

"Quark!"

Once again, apologies to any non-nerds for this overdose of nerdiness, but for anyone who enjoys nerd jokes, let's start things off with a really cheesy joke...

1) What does a subatomic duck say? Quark.


2) A logician tells his mate his wife has just had a baby.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" his mate asks.
"Yes," the logician replies.


3) What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

True or false: A 'space and the universe' quiz

Origami, extreme diets and the planet 'Marjory'.

As today is National Astronomy Day, I thought it would be appropriate to base my latest True Or False quiz on the theme of 'space and the universe'. See if you can spot which of the following 'facts' are actually true and which ones are nothing more than a devious bluff.

The planets Neptune and Saturn, with the planet 'Marjory'
sandwiched in the middle. Note: Not to scale.

Fact 1) The planet 'Marjory'

The planet Uranus was discovered in 1628 by astronomer Richard Keplington and as a romantic gesture he originally wanted to name the planet 'Marjory' after his beloved wife. However, his wife was quite a humble lady and didn't want any fuss or attention, and so Keplington reluctantly agreed to respect her wishes and the name Uranus was eventually decided upon.

True of false?
