Hey, I have, but it’s not exactly stuff that the general public is going to get super excited about (stuff like “Pseudopythina is a pacififile genus”).

Nice jokes, thanks.

For what it’s worth, here is an article on the power of using humor in Christian apologetics, Humor in Christian Apologetics: Mia Langford [2020 NCCA, 10] | Letters to Creationists . It has a few cartoons embedded.

Parasitoid wasps can really be obscure, especially the smallest ones. Once the leader of a project let one expert identify difficult individuals from a group of very small species being parasites of moth eggs, and then sent the same individuals with different labels to the same expert. Some of the individuals came back with another species name - the expert did not seem to agree with himself.
Nowadays, they do not use experts of species identification but instead DNA analyses, it is easier and more reliable. DNA analyses revealed that what was earlier considered to be one species was in reality a group of ten species. Really tiny ones as they develop and mature within a single egg of a small moth.

Maybe they should also measure dark energy from these wasps…

Joke about finances in the church
A pastor, a catholic priest, and a rabbi get together and discuss how they decide how much to take from the donations for their own expenses.
The pastor says: I stand in the middle of the hall, draw a circle around me and throw all the moneys up in the air. What falls in the circle is for the church, what falls outside is for me.
The priest says: I also draw a circle around me. The money that falls outside is for the church, what falls inside is for me.
The rabbi says: I stand in the hall and throw all the money up in the air. God grabs whatever he wants, what falls down is for me. :rofl:

Love this line: “Humor hints at God’s “eternal, infinitely high spirit””
