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.

Q: Lightening strikes that rear of an 800 foot long train. How long until it reaches the front of the train and kills the driver.
A: Depends on how good a conductor he is.

Made me laugh. But the joke perhaps ought to be modified slightly since the conductor doesn't control the train, the engineer does.

And it is easily possible, as the conductor runs through the train.

After Coronavirus:
Python:
def factorial ( number ) :

    if ( number == 1 ) :

        return 1

    else :

        return number * factorial ( number - 1 )

C++ would be better the better mask. It can catch exceptions.

And my 1st world gripe: ATM, not ATM machine.

P stands for plaisir, not please.
When translating 'please' at the beginning of a request sentence, I tend to use 'prière de (bien vouloir)', and 's'il vous plaît' when it's (less formally) placed at the end.

Sounds like our Chief Medical Officer of Health. She is highly regarded and could run for office.
(I don't know if we have Chief Medical Officers of other things besides Health.)
