A group of girls walks into a cafe. One of the women asks for drinks for all of them. The girls lift their glasses for a toast: “Here’s to 51 days!” and they proceed to finish them.
Once again, they tell the server to “line ‘em up” and once again they toast 51 days and finished their drinks.
The server says: “I don’t get it. Why in the world are you toasting 51 days?”
One of the girl explains: “We just finished a jigsaw puzzle. It had written on the box ‘2-4 years’ but we finished it in only 51 days!”
A tourist climbed out of his car in downtown Washington, D.C. He said to a man standing near the curb, “Listen, I’m going to be only a couple of minutes. Would you watch my car while I run into this store?”
“What?” the man huffed. “Do you realise that I am a member of the Senate?”
“Well no,” the tourist said, “I didn’t realise that. But it’s all right. I’ll trust you anyway.”
The ideas about science quoted here are from fifth and sixth graders.
* You can listen to thunder after lightning and tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don’t hear it, you got hit, so never mind.
* The law of gravity says it’s not to fair jump up without coming back down.
* When they broke open molecules, they found they were only stuffed with atoms. But when they broke open atoms, they found them stuffed with explosions.
Someday we may discover how to make magnets that can point in any direction.
*Some oxygen molecules help fires burn while others help make water, so sometimes it’s brother against brother.
* Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun. But I have never been able to make out the numbers.
* To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions are things that are still all mixed up.
* vapour gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be called a drop, it does.
