Collection of Science Jokes P2

In summary: Usually it's been commentated as being 'real'. Actually the joke dates back to the 30's and whether it's real or not cannot be said anymore.

Witness the power of this fully operational reviewer 2!
I find your lack of commas disturbing.
The margin size is a pathway to many abilities some find... unnatural.

E: In time you will call me Master.
L: You're gravely mistaken. You won't reject my paper as you did my father's.
E: Oh no, my young undergrad. You will find that it is you who are mistaken...about a great many things.
V: His bachelor diploma.
E: Ah, yes, a PhD student's prerequisite. Much like your father's. By now you must know
your father can never be turned from the current paradigm. So will it be with you.
L: You're wrong. Soon I'll be published...and you with me.
E: Perhaps you refer to the imminent review of your manuscript in Atom Indonesia. Yes...I assure you we are quite safe from your pitiful ideas.
L: Your overconfidence is your weakness.
E: Your faith in a fair review is yours.
V: It is pointless to resist, my son.
E: Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Your manuscript in the review process ... is walking into a trap. As is your appeal in Acta Polonica! It was I who allowed your coauthors to know the location of the editorial office. It is quite safe from your pitiful little proof. An entire legion of my former postdocs are on the editorial board. Oh...I'm afraid the manuscript will be quite stuck in an endless review loop.

Hey, this works!

Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius died from tuberculosis in 1744 when he was 43.

His rival Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit insisted that he was really 109 and had died of old age.

Most of which are extraordinarily juvenile, unfortunately.
Yeh. I wasn't overly impressed either. But there they were.

William Gladstone: But, after all, what use is it (electricity)?

Faraday: Why, Sir, in all probability, one day you will tax it!

William Gladstone (pointing to a Faraday cage): And what, pray, is the use of that contraption?

Faraday: Well, Sir, in centuries to come, men will store in it the keys to their horseless carriages, in order to prevent brigands from making off with them!

"To protect people from the electricity so they don't have to pay taxes."
