Collection of Science Jokes P2

The term "interstellar" is, which I find, a bit misleading, as they are still in the range of SDOs and far (thousands of years away) from entering the Oort cloud.

Oh well, here we go...

WATSON: Name a canal in your body.
HOLMES: Alimentary, my dear Watson.

WATSON: Name a tree with yellow fruit.
HOLMES: A lemon tree, my dear Watson.

WATSON: How would you describe a yellow door?
HOLMES: A lemon entry, my dear Watson.

WATSON: What's another name for the periodic table?
HOLMES: Element tree, my dear Watson.
(Not a very good name, as it isn't a tree.)

Avoid teenage plant pregnancy by covering your flower's anthers.

Also... don't go showing your stigma. Society demands flower decency.

That's really difficult to look at. It's so clearly a spiral, even once you've worked out it isn't.
