Monday’s Joke

Shamelessly lifted from reddit:

A biologist, a chemist and a statistician go hunting.  They see a moose.

The biologist takes a shot, but misses by a meter to the left…

The chemist shoots, but misses by a meter to the right…

The statistician jumps up and starts cheering:  “We got him!”

And while on the topic of hunting:

A family practice doc, an internist, a surgeon, and a pathologist are out one day duck hunting. First up is the FP doc – he raises his gun to take aim at a flock of birds passing overhead and says to himself, “Looks like a duck, flies like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.” BANG! He bags himself a duck.

The internist then steps up, raises his gun to take aim at a second flock of birds flying overhead. He says to himself, “Looks like a duck, flies like a duck, quacks like a duck, rule out quail, rule out pheasant, goose versus duck likely.” BANG! He, too, bags himself a duck.

A third flock of birds then flies overhead and the surgeon steps up and raises his gun at the flock. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! He fires multiple rounds at the flock and dead birds are dropping all around. The surgeon lowers his gun, walks over to one of the dead birds, picks it up, hands it to the pathologist and says, “Tell me if this is a duck.”

Sunday’s joke

Shamelessly lifter from reddit:

Q: why DIDN’T Pascal cross the road?

A: because it was safer to assume that there would be a car.

While on the topic of logical fallacies:

Descartes walks into a bar and orders a a whiskey.

The bartender asks:  “Would you like me to make it a double?”

Descartes considers it for a while and answers:  “I think not.”

Nobody has seen him since…

And since it is Sunday:

A Higgs Boson walks into a church.  The priest tries to shoo him out, because of all that irreverant ‘the God particle’ thing.  The Higgs Boson insists that he must stay:  “Without me, you cannot have Mass!”

Bonus joke:

Why do French cooks make an omelet from only one egg?

Donglegate…

If you have not heard of ‘Donglegate’, you are likely not plugged in to the IT world – because anyone even remotely connected to the tech world has not been so lucky.

In a nutshell – Adria Richards, a non-technical person whose job was to make life easier for socially-awkward software developers (her actual job title was ‘developer evangelist’) eavesdropped on a ‘big dongle’ joke by a couple of socially-awkward software developers at a Python software developers conference and made such a public spectacle of just how offensive that was that she managed to get the guy who told the joke fired from his job.  Anonymous – the hactivist group – took exception to her actions and targeted both her blog (where she continued to make a big fuss over the dongle joke and revealed herself to be an even more unstable flake than before) and her employer with distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks – until, that is, her employer realized that Adria was not, after all, very good at evangelizing on behalf of developers, making the world a nicer place for them… and fired her.

Here is a most excellent account of the event and its fallout.

And, since he’s been talking about feminism lately, here is Thunderf00t’s take on it:

Frankly, I think people like Adria Richards should never work in a position of influence or power over anyone – and hope she never does!

UPDATE:  A couple of days before she overheard the ‘dongle’ joke, Adria Richards Tweeted a sexist joke about a male friend stuffing a sock down his pants to appear to have a larger penis.…’Nough said!

Finally – a way to make ‘sports’ interesting
