    Two Cats sitting on a roof. Which one falls off first? The one with the smaller mu! OK, now how many people get that?

            Cats Mew Mu = Co-efficient of friction Less friction = slides off roof! See, who says physicists don't have a sense of humour!

              Oh...:^) When I studied it we used a different notation: Ff (friction force) = N (normal force) * μ (friction coefficient)

                  hmm :-) well, if that's the extent of it... Years ago, I sent a joke I made up to the physics dept at MIT (or was it Princeton? Can't remember now... ) - they were asking for physics jokes for something they were doing - went like this: Q: How many Gods does it take to change a light bulb? A: One, in theory, but look what happened last time He tried! I thought it was quite funny (flash, big bang an' all...) but they wrote back saying they didn't get it! :sigh:

                    Wanted: Schroedinger's cat
                    Dead AND alive

                    "Erwin, what have you been doing to the poor cat? It looks half dead!"

                    Heisenberg takes his new car for a spin when he's stopped by a traffic cop. The cop asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
                    Heisenberg proclaims, "No, but I know exactly where I am."

                    A proton, a neutron and an electron walk into a bar and ask for drinks. "Drinks are $3 each" says the bartender.
                    "But we only have $6 between us!" says the electron.
                    "Don't worry," says the proton, "there's no charge for the neutron"
                    "Are you sure?"
                    "I'm positive"

                                  I love that stuff. Shame you can't get much of it in India. On the rare occassions I go to Pizza Hut, I ask for a salad with extra broccoli. The Sir Cumference joke is very good. :-D

                                        Wanted: Schroedinger's cat
                                        Dead AND alive

                                        "Erwin, what have you been doing to the poor cat? It looks half dead!"

                                        Heisenberg takes his new car for a spin when he's stopped by a traffic cop. The cop asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
                                        Heisenberg proclaims, "No, but I know exactly where I am."

                                        A proton, a neutron and an electron walk into a bar and ask for drinks. "Drinks are $3 each" says the bartender.
                                        "But we only have $6 between us!" says the electron.
                                        "Don't worry," says the proton, "there's no charge for the neutron"
                                        "Are you sure?"
                                        "I'm positive"

                                          Actually, yours should have been 100.
