R112mercer Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Two Atoms were walking down the street and bumped into one another. One Atom was knocked to the ground. The first Atom said "My gosh, I'm sorry, are you alright?" The second Atom said "I'm fine, but I think I lost an Electron." The first Atom asked "Are you sure?" To which the second Atom replied "Yeah, I'm positive!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Without knowing the initial condition of the Second Atom, it is impossible to determine if the scenario above contains humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Without knowing the initial condition of the Second Atom, it is impossible to determine if the scenario above contains humor. If you were able to determine that it was funny, it would not still be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 It is neither funny nor not funny until you observe it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can not be sure. Heisenberg explained that the act of observing changes the observed. Of course this is only true for a particle of humor. The effect on larger scale humor may be negligible.

George Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Like fart jokes. Those can be properly modeled using computational fluid dynamics. No quantum level juju there, just straight up partial differential equations ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Two Atoms were walking down the street and bumped into one another. One Atom was knocked to the ground.The first Atom said "My gosh, I'm sorry, are you alright?" The second Atom said "I'm fine, but I think I lost an Electron." The first Atom asked "Are you sure?" To which the second Atom replied "Yeah, I'm positive!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, the second one would say "I'm Negative"" since he was the receiver of the e-.... the first one who lost it would be positive.
