J G 927 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 The Hardon Collider is a fantastic piece of kit. It is the biggest erection of its kind. It runs in a large circle under a woody area of Cern, Switzerland. There are some stiff testing regimes associated with it to ensure the boner-fides of its results. Link to post Share on other sites

tomj421 5 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Cajun Math Test A Cajun man wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test. Here is your first question, the foreman said. Without using numbers, represent the number 9. Without numbers? The Cajon says, "Dat easy"and proceeds to draw three trees.. What's this? the boss asks. Ave you got no brain? Tree and Tree and Tree make nine, the Cajun says. Fair enough, says the boss. Here is your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number 99. The Cajon stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he had just drawn and makes a smudge on each three. Ere you go. The boss scratches his head and says, How on earth do you get that to represent 99? Each of da trees is dirty now. So, its dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dats 99. The boss is getting worried that he is going to actually have to hire this Cajun, so he says, All right last question. Same rules again but represent the number 100. The Cajun stares into space some more, then picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree. Ere you go. One hundred. The boss looks at the last picture and said You must be nuts if you think that represents one hundred: The Cajun leans forward and points to the mark at the base of each tree and says: A little dog come along and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd which makes one hundred. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 THE AUSTRALIAN VIRGIN A very nice, innocent Australian woman wants to get married, but she is only willing to marry a man if he has never had sex with another woman. After several unsuccessful years of searching, she decides to take out a personal ad. She ends up corresponding with Scotty Greer, who is an average golfer and who has lived his entire life in the Australian Outback and he has no experience with women. They meet and she is very happy with him; she feels that they are perfect for each other. Eventually they end up getting married. On their wedding night, she goes into the bathroom to prepare for the evening. When she returns to the bedroom, she finds her new husband standing in the middle of the room, naked. All the furniture from the room is piled in one corner. "What happened?" she asks. "I've never been with a woman" he says, "But if it's anything like a kangaroo, I'm gonna need all the room I can get!" 4 Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I can't imagine how we got this far without this one appearing... A MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: ----------------------- 1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). ------------------------ 2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' ------------------- 3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. ----------------- 4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse. ---------------------- 5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. ---------------------- 6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. -------------------- 7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it. ------------------- 8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. ------------------- 9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. --------------------- 10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. --------------------- 11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). --------------------- 12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries. -------------------- 13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. ----------------- 14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). --------------- 15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season. God Save the Queen! PS: Only share this with friends who have a good sense of humour (NOT humor)! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t you have speed brakes?” Pilot: “Yup. But they’re for my mistakes. Not yours.” Tower: “…and for your information, you were slightly to the left of the centerline on that approach.” Speedbird: “That’s correct; and, my First Officer was slightly to the right” A deer is on the runway… so… Tower: “Cessna XXX cleared for take-of f.” Student: “What should I do? What should I do?” Instructor: “What do you think you should do?” (think-think-think) Student: “Maybe if I taxi toward him it’ll scare him away.” Instructor: “That’s a good idea.” (Taxi toward deer, but deer is macho, and holds position.) Tower: “Cessna XXX cleared for take-off, runway NN.” Student: “What should I do? What should I do?” Instructor: “What do you think you should do?” (think-think-think) Student: “Maybe I should tell the tower.” Instructor: “That’s a good idea.” Student: “Cessna XXX, uh, there’s a deer down here on the runway.”. (long pause) Tower: “Roger XXX, hold your position. Deer on runway NN cleared for immediate departure.”. (Two seconds, and then — I presume by coincidence — the deer bolts from the runway, and runs back into the woods.) Tower: “Cessna XXX cleared for departure, runway NN. Caution wake turbulence, departing deer.” It had to be tough keeping that Cessna rolling straight for take-off. Tower: “Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff” Eastern 702: “Tower, Eastern 702 switching to departure…by the way as we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway.” Tower: “National 63 cleared for takeoff…did you copy the report from Eastern?” National 63: “Roger , Tower, cleared for takeoff… yes, we’ve already notified our caterers.” Controller: “USA353 (sic) contact Cleveland Center 135.60.

Standby.” Pilot: “OK, guess it’ll have to be the ADF then.” Approach: “303, unable the ADF right now for traffic saturation.” Pilot: “OK, approach. State my intentions.” ATC: “N123YZ, say altitude.” N123YZ: “ALTITUDE!” ATC: “N123YZ, say airspeed.” N123YZ: “AIRSPEED!” ATC: “N123YZ, say cancel IFR.” N123YZ (Pause) “Eight thousand feet, one hundred fifty knots indicated.” 2 Link to post Share on other sites
