Pun

A man walks into a doctor's office and asks the doctor to inspect his leg. The man says, "Here, put your ear to my knee."

The doctor puts his ear to the man's knee and hears very faintly, "Come on, can I have five bucks, just five bucks?"

The doctor steps back in horror, and the man says, "I know, but it gets worse. Put your ear to my shin."
The doctor puts his ear to the man's shin and hears very faintly, "Come on, can I have ten bucks, just ten bucks?"

Once again, the doctor stands up, very perplexed. The man then says, "If that surprises you, put your ear to my ankle." The doctor puts his ear to the man's ankle and hears oh so faintly, "Come on, can I have twenty bucks, just twenty bucks?"

The doctor then stands up and says, "Well, I can I make just one conclusion. Your leg is broke in three places."

There is a person of a different nationality in each house.

The 5 owners drink a certain drink. They each smoke a certain brand of cigarettes and also have a certain pet. No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigarettes nor drinks the same drink.

For Five Year Olds

Someone Asked:

Can you explain this to me like I'm 5:
moderate ethanol consumption results in higher levels of antiviral cytokines and an expression profile of microRNAs linked to CD8 T cell differentiation.

person,

Small amounts of alcohol drinking means higher levels of virus attacking cells that split apart, and the measurement of the movement of thousands of genes at once, to create a worldwide picture of cells functions of non-coding genes connected to a kind of white blood cell that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected (particularly with viruses), or cells that are damaged in other ways.

Joke

A curious child asked his mother: “Mommy, why are some of your hairs turning grey?”

The mother tried to use this occasion to teach her child: “It is because of you, dear. Every bad action of yours will turn one of my hairs grey!”

The child replied innocently: “Now I know why grandmother has only grey hairs on her head.”

360 Degrees

Ash Asked:

Why are there 360 degrees in a circle?


Dear Ash,

At the beginning of the invention of the wheel, they started with a triangle, then they added another corner and produced a square, then they added another corner and produced a pentagon, that went on until they produced a shape with 359 sides (Trihectapentacontakaiennea), then they put on another corner and it came out as a circle and they got the wheel, so a circle has 360 corners aka 360 degrees.
