@Mason_Wheeler I know, just adding joking color to my classes.
And thus propagatinging misconceptions for another generation.
To be more precise, I said
We're building the Great Pyramid. And how did they do it?
Class: with slaves!

@Benjamin-Hall Make that "tacitly supporting previously created misconceptions"?
I've lost count of the times I had to explain to my pupils that, no, medieval people did not believe that the Earth was flat (a great example on how rewriting history has been going on for a long time).

@Rhywden How many times have you gotten "but then why did Columbus try to prove it was round?" in response?

When I try to allude to that story I always get blank looks so I guess it's not common knowledge anymore. Don't ask my why that Flat-Earth-thing is so persistent in contrast.

Good to hear that myth is at least starting to fall out of fashion.

@Mason_Wheeler You laugh, but the other night I watched a documentary about Audrey Hepburn. Near the end, the announcer said "...she was diagnosed with colon cancer".
The closed-captioning said:
...she was diagnosed with: cancer.

I only got your joke after I followed what you were replying to.
At first I wondered why would they want to grill an asscancer.

Agreed. (But not with your abbreviation.)

I suspect you actually agree with my abbr.
To cut a potentially very long and boring discussion short, can you explain your post?

I appreciate your request, but to do it justice would be long and almost certainly unfruitful.

@jinpa I'll therefore assume there wasn't any point to your post, and that you're now weakly trolling to hide the fact.

I cannot control the assumptions you make.

The teacher asks a group of students "What would you do if you were told you only have one day left to live?"
One says "I'd spend the day with my family".
Someone else says "I would try to leave all my affairs in order and make amends to anyone I've wronged"
Another one says "I'd spend all my money and probably take a few loans to enjoy the last day I have".
Finally the last guy says "I would send an e-mail to everyone I know saying 'This is not a joke. You might think this is a regular junk chain mail, but this one's real. Unless every single one of you forwards it to all your friends I will be dead by tomorrow'. "

I recently met a guy named Joe Bastardo. I feel sorry for him. It must have been difficult when he was growing up with a name like that. All the kids probably made fun of his name.
What parent names their kid Joe.

Used to know a guy named John. Parents had no imagination. Every Tom, Dick and Harry is named John.

I warned my daughter about using her whistle inside and gave her one last chance.
Unfortunately, she blew it.

...... you know that sort of thing is fine between friends where you know, or have reason to believe, that there is a common ground for these sort of visual puns to be understood...
but once you start putting that into email blasts.... you've taken it too far..... particularly if you find yourself needing to explain the joke/pun in the body of the email.... and then still send the email with the pun/joke included....
You just ruined it for everyone who would have gotten it and confused and/or angered everyone who wouldn't have gotten it....

@Rhywden said in Columbus, etc.:
Nitpick: That only holds true for Europe. The Middle East was a shining beacon of science at the time and responsible for quite a number of scientific achievements...
0, 1, 2 ... 9?

A Boeing 737 Max flight attendant walks into a bar and orders a martini.
"You're here later than usual," the bartender comments. "Problems at work?"
"Yes, just as our flight was about to take off we had to turn around and wait at the gate for an hour."
"What was the problem?" the bartender asks.
"The pilot was bothered by a noise in the engine," she replies. "It took us a while to find a new pilot."

I'm more embarrassed about buying something from Micro Center.

Hawaiian suicidal programmers: 'Aloha, world'

I know it fits the category title, but that doesn't mean you're free from . Aloha means both hello and good-bye. So I guess it could be written by Hawaiian suicidal programmers, but someone who came across the program would not know if it was their first or their last.

In ancient times, we had a discussion on whether it was viruses or virii. I think the conclusion was that viruses is correct. Any one want to opine on Ouroboroses vs. ouroboroi? What if they identify as singular?
-
@jinpa @error_bot etymology Ouroboros
-
@PleegWat said in The bad jokes topic 🐴🍹👨:
etymology Ouroboros
From Ancient Greek οὐροβόρος (ourobóros, “tail-devouring”), a compound of οὐρά (ourá, “tail”) + -βόρος (-bóros, “-devouring”, “-swallowing”), which is derived from the verb βιβρώσκω (bibrṓskō, “to eat up”).
...
Noun
ouroboros (plural ouroboroi or ouroboroses)
-
@PJH I'd hazard in ancient greek it's a name, rather than a generic noun?
-

Obviously it's Ouroboroxxen

@ixvedeusi Obviously it's ouroborouroborour..., repeated as many times as you have
