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.

Isn't it ironic that the noun "irony" sounds like it ought to be a adjective meaning "a bit like iron"?

(If that's not in the Uxbridge English Dictionary, it ought to be.)
This happens when you mix Proto-Germanic and Greek. We did not make the rhotacism from 's' to 'r' and still have 'Ei-s-en' as in 'isarn'. The mistake is that it actually should be called 'ison' instead of 'iron'.

It's like Gree-ee-eek mixed with Proto Ger-man.

An airplane was becoming more and more unstable. It got so bad that the steward got on the PA system and asked if there were any pilots on board to help the crew. An electrical engineer volunteered. He went to the front of the cabin, and then asked if there were any Polish people on the starboard side of the plane. One fellow raised his hand. The engineer asked him if he could move to the other side of the plane. After he did, the plane leveled out to smooth flight. The steward was amazed and asked how did the engineer do that. He explained it was very simple, really. Everybody knows that having a pole on the right hand side of the plane is unstable.

Imagine numbering discreet doorways with irrational numbers.
I once had room 271 for a year, and extended it, irrationally.
