Science Week Joke-Day 5 & 6

Once again Uni has caught up to me so here are 2 jokes to make up for it...

There were two elderly men talking. The first says "I guess you are never too old." The second asks "Whys that?" The first replies, "Well yesterday a pretty college girl said she'd be intersted in dating me, but to be honest i don't know why she'd want to." The second replied "Well women these days don't mind being the ones to ask the man..." The first replies "No, that's not it." So the other man says "Maybe you remind her of her father?" The first replies "No, it's not that either it's just she also mention something about carbon 14..."

Susan was in Chemistry, Susan is no more. For what she thought was H2O was H2SO4 :)

Science Week Chemistry Joke-Day 1

In Australia this week, from the 13th of August to the 21st of August, is Science Week. All around the country there are special scientific events taking place. As I have previously mentioned it is also the Intenational Year of Chemistry and therefore I will be posting one chemistry joke per week. However as this week is so scientific I will try to post 1 chemistry/science related joke per day... ENJOY
So, a neutron walked into a bar and said "I’d like a beer, please."

After the bartender gave him one, he said "How much will that be?"

"For you?" said the bartender "No charge."

POTTERMORE- Early Entry Success

I got very excited this morning and decided I would look at the Pottermore website and see if I could solve today's magical quill clue, which was the last magical quill clue before early registration closes.
Now I love Harry Potter and have read every book and seen every movie so today's clue was very easy for me to answer (I didn't even need a calculator). As this was my first time trying to get in I didn't realise how easy it would be. So I would now like to inform you that I am one of the lucky million people to be granted early access to this, hopefully, amazing site. I say hopefully because I am yet to see more of the site than the congratulations page.You see there is a slight catch to this early registration, you have to wait for an email informing you when you can actually access the full site, as they can only allow a select number of people on at one time.
I'm hoping that my email will come before the 30th of September, but I don't really mind if it doesn't, I just can't wait to see this amazing world that JK. Rowling has created for us!
