Humor in Science and Theology

He is a well known Calvinist apologetic who debates just about any and all comers. Given some of the big names in his public moderated debates that would explain the joke.

Can anybody spot the error in this Amazon Ad? I’m hoping to order one of these for school - but one hopes for the sake of all involved that the specs aren’t quite right. :crazy_face::grimacing:

A few hundred kilowatts is actually plausible for the instantaneous wattage during sparks, but it would only be doing that for about a microsecond at a time.

Ah, there’s the rub… as in rubbing a balloon. :grin:

Here is another from the same source:

Oh yeah! I hadn’t thought about it in that way! Still suspecting the misprint through since the caption label says (probably correctly) that it’s 325 KV.

Those are similar to many of the messages from Demotivators® - The World’s Best Demotivational Posters - Despair, Inc., a company founded and run by some of my uncle’s friends from college.

I would guess that among the more theologically relevant is this:

Yeah, they’re great – my older son introduced me when he was in college, three decades ago.

Judging from the pyramid in the photo, position of the star, the “sacrifice” in question is literal, not figurative as in “she put her whole heart into this project.” The demotivation here is that working for this company demands human sacrifice!! Rite of Spring style. A la the Lottery.

I think some work places feel just like that.

Well, when I saw this gem on Facebook (thanks @Christy) , I had hoped to share it with @LM77 over in the Arts and Literature tread, but it is now closed. : (
So I will put it here.

Ha! :grin:  

I went looking for a limerick involving a young man from Cork and found this cautionary limerick:

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I’ve seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical

This next one walks right up to but does not cross that line, at least by biblical standards:

There was a young lass of Madras
Who had a magnificent ass
Not rounded and pink
As you’d probably think
But was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.

These and more which are both more anatomical and comical found here:

Beware especially the one involving Bruno and also the one with Sally.

Your young lass from Madras reminds me of another bible punchline that actually isn’t in the Bible…at least not that I could find.

Who is the most flexible man in the Bible?

Moses. He tied his ass to a tree and walked 40 miles.
