Humor in Science and Theology

Clearly the professor is to be punished, but I can’t decide whether Tony is being rewarded or punished.

He’s one of the staff there in hell.

Yep. It is just so hard to figure out how the whole underground, eternal amusement park is supposed to work. Are the employees unionized? Do they apply for their positions? Are there courses people should take in life to better prepare them? Theology is really, really hard.

l imagine there would be an art to it. Something tells me that unions would not be tolerated. Unless maybe among the white collar … err … red collar managers?

I tend to think Tony is in heaven. As C.S. Lewis said, a heaven for mosquitos and hell for people could easily be made in the same space.

We are studying Dante’s Divine Comedy in Theology class. Evidently Hell is pretty wild, with never a dull moment!

In junior college, long time ago, I took some course during which we read the Divine Comedy. Like a strange dream sequence.

Isn’t it wild?

Found this online. Kind of a dark humor but also relevant.

Since the topic of men and cats has come up elsewhere, I’ll share this classic here in case some have not seen it:

That is majorly funny. @SkovandOfMitaze, you don’t have any engineering tendencies do you?

This was funny to me when it happened. I can tell she was barely interested in it beyond making sure I did not eat it. In my mind when she said it, I was thinking obviously I know it’s a mushroom.

An hour ago I told her I would call her in five minutes and then went down a ganoderma rabbit hole. These things have changed around quite a bit in the last few years from subspecies to different species and vice versa. Sometimes makes it difficult to narrow down on a species. Especially since I forgot to get pictures of the host tree and then forgot them in a bag for three weeks and have no spore print.

I’m case anyone is wondering multiple people has said it’s most likely Ganoderma curtisii. In some books that’s the same as G. meredithiae.

How odd. Found a topsider (deck) shoe that I want. The price is hefty. It’s advertised as: Quantity. 1.
I got paranoid: what if the online company actually sells one shoe for a hefty price, but to get a left shoe for a left foot AND a right shoe for a right foot, I have to order Quantity 2???
So I asked. (Sigh), that was a relief. Quantity 1 means one pair of shoes, one for the left foot and one for the right foot. That part of the world is still normal.

It should have said “Buy one, get one free!”
