Heisenberg and Schrödinger are driving in a car and they get pulled over. Police officer asks “Do you know how fast you were going?” and Heisenberg says “Well not really, but I can tell you exactly where I was”.

The officer thinks this peculiar response is grounds for a search and he finds a dead cat in the boot. He says “Do you guys know there’s a dead cat in your boot?”

And Schrödinger says “Well I do now”.

That's not funny even to those that understand it ... unless of course I'm not one of them.

The most hysterically funny piece of graffiti that I saw at Uni was scratchyed into a desk in a maths lecture room. It said simply ...

2+2=3 for small values of 2

Update

Sales of The Universe Within are slow but somehow trickling in.
Total sales = 32.
Total royalties = $45 (I don't get paid until it reaches $100).
Total reviews = 3

Amazon reviews are like currency. I'd be stoked if anyone wanted to add to them. Be as harsh as you like.
