(The ice cream parlor one.)<br /><br />You might have heard that one on "The Big Bang Theory" (Penny calls it "the best science joke on the Internet"), and you might have read that the great physicist George Smoot brought the joke to "TBBT."<br /><br />Many fewer people know I wrote it. Which makes it very difficult for me to scare up recruits for my science joke blog!<br /><br />All best,<br />Kevin L.

Late one night, a fire breaks out in the hotel.<br />The engineer wakes up, runs to the bathroom with the ice bucket and splashes as much water as possible all over the room to douse the fire and goes back to bed soaking wet.<br />The physicist wakes up, carefully calculates the rate of the fire's expansion, looks up the fire rating of the drywall, drapes and furniture in the room, establishes how much water would be required to extinguish the blaze including the amount of time required to obtain the water, goes into the bathroom with his graduated cylinder, measures out precisely the correct amount of water (bottom of the meniscus!), extinguishes the blaze and goes back to bed, just a little wet.<br />The mathematician wakes up, duplicates the physicist's work, says, "a solution exists", and goes back to bed.<br /><br />-BensburgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14863867463292645871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216723146415434902.post-18606713430892577682010-08-12T00:28:47.818-04:002010-08-12T00:28:47.818-04:00Good to see you back.
