Douglas Adams used effectively the same joke in 1978 at the beginning of one of the original radio episodes of The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. The episode begins with a plot recap:

“The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

Why can't you hear a dinosaur pee?

Because they're extinct.

If they were extant, you would still not hear them pee, because reptiles and birds do not pee. They have a cloaca, and so produce a paste, not a liquid, as is evidenced by coprolites.

I think Congress cut funding for SETI research many years ago, prompting speculation that we might try the more challenging task of searching for signs of intelligence in Congress...

The no-hairdo theorem (a new evidence for gauge/gravity duality):
Under static electricity, a static hairdo is characterized by only two numbers, hair color and hair length, while all other information about the initial hairdo disappears after the hair settles down to the static state.

I can tolerate algebra, maybe even a little calculus, but geometry is where I draw the line.
