Whale of a joke

Little bit of dry humour from the science joke website continuing the whale theme from Friday/Saturday’s events on the Thames:

“The species of whale known as the black right whale has four kilos of brains and 1,000 kilos of testicles. If it thinks at all, we know what it is thinking about.”
Jon Lien, “Whale Professor” at St. John’s University, Newfoundland, speaking to the Norwegian Telegram Agency (spring 1995).

Or if you prefer exams:

“From an ecology exam at the University of Nottingham:
Q: What is the consequence of the extinction of whales?
A: “The sea level will fall, combating the effect of global warming.”

God or golf?

A brain teasing about the maths of ‘random clumping’ from Bob Porter:

“Jesus and Moses were playing golf. At the first hole Moses hit a long drive to within a few yards of the green. Jesus sliced into the woods where the ball hit a tree and headed for the water. Just before it hit the water, a frog lept from a lily pad bounced the ball into the air where a hawk grabbed it, and flew to the green where the hawk dropped it and a gopher ran up and pushed it in the hole for a hole in one. Moses turned to Jesus and said: “Are you going to fool around or are we going to play golf?” (Was it God or random clumping?)
