Things that made me literally laugh out loud today.

The 'find x' one kills me

Now I want to know why Phosphorus Trichloride is polar.

Chemists?????

That country is actually Iraq. Egypt is in Africa. That's not even the same continent. Granted, most of us wouldn't know that either. That's why we occasionally watch the news — in the hopes that they know where countries are.



BTW- I am getting looks from this thread. I have literally laughed out loud too many times to count.

Andi--I LOVE THOSE! Oh my gosh,they're hysterical. I have a file of hilarious student work somewhere at home. I'll share some if I can find it.

Strawdermangrl--That map makes me sad. My grandmother always said "You Americans act like the rest of the world doesn't matter!" whenever she saw errors like that.

 

[princesss]

I don't know why LOLcats make me laugh so hard. They just do. (Btw - in my head these pictures are a story, so they have to be viewed in this sequence. I'm a total nerd, I know...)

Haven- it is sad. VERY sad. LOL, my boyfriend is Australian and he has a field day with it.

Princesss- You make kittah skared.

OK, I don't laugh out loud easily, but the lionel ritchie one got me.

 

[Strawdermangrl]

Tgal- I snorted when I first saw it.

I am thinking of posting my neighborhood, for laughs.

Or maybe just around the office....LOL, that would get...well...looks.

 

[TravelingGal]

yeah, I sent it to TGuy and now he's using it as wallpaper on his phone along with the song as his ringtone. Greeeeeeeeeeeat.

SNORT. That is awesome.

I have been humming that song for the last 24hrs.

 

[zoebartlett]

Strawdermangrl -- That is really sad. I can't believe the map is like that.

 

[TBjumper]

I logged in to specifically to say how much the giraffe made me laugh...

Now I want to know why Phosphorus Trichloride is polar.

Chemists?????

Phosphous Trichloride is polar because the three chloride atoms are more electronegative than the Phosphorus. The geometry is trignonal and therefore the dipole moments do not cancel each other.

Edited like 8 times because I couldn't figure out how to make the molecule look rightish.

My DH has had that song as his ringtone for when I call him for awhile now.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

I spilled spot remover on my dog Spot.
Now I can't find him.

Do pilots get crash courses?

My grandfather likes to give advice but he's a little forgetful.
One day, he took me aside and just left me there.

I went to the Tourist Information Booth so I could find out about the tourists who were here last year.

I was in bed with my wife last night, and she asked me, "If you could know exactly when and how you're going to die, would you want to know?"
I said, "No."
"Well, then, never mind.", she said.

the geometry is trigonal pyramidal (similar to ammonia), so the three chlorine molecules are actually not all in one plane. The combination of electronegativity differences and geometry results in the dipole.

I think it's easier to copy diagrams so here is one from Wikipedia

OMG!! Best topic yet, I can not stop laughing! You should have posted a warning though, I was drinking water when I opened the thread

Thanks for the chemistry explanation. I have yet to take in depth classes, so I have to learn all that in the next couple of years.



The giraffe has had me cracking up since yesterday. Seriously. And I automatically put David Schwimmer's voice with it b/c of Madagascar. So I hear him screaming at me to look at a duck.

 

[yssie]

OMG. Dandi. Expand (). Priceless.

I loved the following today: *edited because one was uber tiny* Ok, here is the link. It is still tiny.

OK, has anyone seen the Hello video in the last 20 years? Somehow, when I was a kid, I missed that he's a teacher running around school stalking a blind student! He's CREEPY!!!

 

[Strawdermangrl]

Tgal- link?
