We used to have Bring Your Dinosaur to School Day in October at my school, but in '98 some kid brought a T-Rex that had been underfed and, well...
There were only five kids in the '99 graduating class.

Do you know why the astronauts were told never to put Dextre inside Kibo?
Because he'd say "Get out of my laboratory!"

After bringing her very sick husband to the emergency room, the doctor pulls the wife aside to talk with her alone. "Your husband is very sick, mam, but he can survive as long as you are willing to take care of him."
"Just tell me what I have to do," the wife says in tears.
"Your husband cannot exert any energy. he has to be fed, bathed, comforted, he can't even change his own socks."
When the wife returns to her husband he asked her what the doctor said, to which she replied, "Oh honey I am sorry, you are dying."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three men and a woman were applying for jobs at the CIA. They were each put in a room with their spouses and a gun and told that as a test of loyalty, they had to shoot their spouse. The first man couldn't even pick up the gun. The second man put his hand on the gun but then decided he couldn't do it. The third man picked up the gun, then broke down crying, as he couldn't do it either. As the training officers waited outside the room with the woman they heard her curse, followed by loud crashing and screaming. When she came out of the room they asked her what the noise was all about. She replied, "Well, I pulled the trigger but apparently the gun wasn't loaded so I had to beat him to death with the chair."

...Okay, I had to google "Utapau" to get that one. I thought it was a Hawaiian name.

I didn't want to, but I only did because I've heard people before pronounce incorrectly as 'fun-ge'. I also don't see what the great disappoint is in me doing so. Did you like it?

Difference between heaven and hell:

In heaven:

French are the cooks
Italians are the lovers
English are the policemen
Germans organise everything

In hell:

French are the policemen
English the cooks
Germans the lovers
and the Italians organise everything

An intern is bothering a doctor he's supposed to be job shadowing by asking pointless questions. Finally he asks
"Doctor, how long is it possible to live without a brain?"
"I don't know, how old are you?"

What comics did Tesla like to read?
Must have been Marvel, we know he didn't like DC.

(Insert groan)

Conversely, Edison liked DC, While the Black Stallion and Black Beauty both liked Dark Horse Comics.
Here's one for ye olde computer players.
What is a Zork players least favorite comic book character?

I don't know, I am in the dark about that, and likely to be eaten by a grue.
However, Groo does, what Groo does best.
Another joke,
What is a Grues' favorite colour?
Grue! (But not Bleen)

True story...

Bono, up front of U2 at a Scottish concert, started slow clapping his hands near the microphone. After a bit everyone went quiet &, still clapping, he leaned over to the kic & said, 'every time I clap my hands, a child dies in Africa.

A broad Scottish voice called out from the audience... 'Then stop ******* clapping your hands!'
