I write [some] science & skeptical jokes and post them here and on Twitter.

Look! There!
Through the fog and drizzle.
In the bracken.
See him? See how he moves - that rolling gait, the hunched shoulders. It's almost like he's one of us.
Wait! He's stopped!
He's sniffing the air. He senses us.
Now he moves again. Faster, panicked and disappearing into the foliage. Too fast and nimble for us to follow. He is at home in these surroundings and we are but trespassers in his domain.
Our encounter has been brief, but electrifying. Tense, but enchanting. Overwhelming, yet magnificent.
We only hope that our camera equipment is unaffected by the weather conditions and has successfully captured our encounter.

I sprayed anti-persperant deodorant on my kettle to stop the steam coming out of it.
I once got head lice in my pubic hair. I think they were lost.

I got contact lenses then my eyesight got worse so now I wear glasses as well.
Thank fuck(ing) for evolution.
I figured out how to make a Smurf apart from the tips of the fingers. I need the blueprints
We live in an ever shrinking world. I blame expanding foam.
My friend’s an agoraphobic astronomer. He looks at the stars through the small end of the telescope.
When I think about how powerful tornadoes are it blows my mind.
Why did it take so long for DIY stores to get self service checkouts?
The future’s bright. The future’s our sun expanding before becoming a red dwarf.
So I guess when people say “Can I ask you a question?” they really mean “Can I ask you two questions?
