There's a "cute AF" joke in here somewhere, but I can't quite put it together.

See also: a streaming service's "recommended for you" section that is indistinguishable from "watch it again".

Just to note: Marie Curie's lab books cannot be handled without protective gear and are stored in lead containment boxes because of all the new chemistry she discovered.

Well, not always: Plural 'they' is a borrowing from Old Norse ca. 1200 AD, and the earliest attestation of singular 'they' is about a century later.

But, yeah, you'd think 700 years of continuous use would be enough to make it uncontroversial...

Never ask:

This works for all numbers ending in 9:

x*9+x+9=x(9+1)+9

Pfft, catapults. A trebuchet can launch a 90kg advertisement over 300 meters.

The sound of scientific discovery is less often "Eureka!" than "Huh, that's funny..."

It's amazing how often things are similar to what they are.

Oh. I thought they were saying they're good a drawing curly brackets.

Why did you build a death ray?

No, I mean, what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations?

Look, I'm just trying to take over the world. That's all.

You're at least going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?

Sad fact: most "mad scientists" are actually mad engineers.
