Seriously, I&#39;m stumped. I&#39;ve got nothing funny to say about neuroscientists. However, I only know one neuroscientist, so my statistical sample can&#39;t be trusted to provide any reasonable conclusions as to whether neuroscientists in general are funny.

As all good neuroscientists know: you don&#39;t cross -- you decussate!<br /><br />--<br /><br />Q: How many brain scientists does it take to write a best-seller?<br /><br />A: Thousands! Of course, after you correct for multiple comparisons, only a handful are doing any real work.<br /><br />--<br />A brain scientist, an agent, and an editor walk into a bar...<br /><br />The brain scientist stubs his toe on the bar and yells, &quot;Ouch! I really felt that in my free nerve endings! My somatosensory cortex is going nuts!&quot; The agent says, &quot;Your screaming has far too much jargon. I can&#39;t sell it.&quot; And the ScienceDaily editor rewrites it to, &quot;Leading scientists prove toes cause pain; suggest removal.&quot;Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-11471559930700666122010-02-01T15:25:45.870-05:002010-02-01T15:25:45.870-05:00*laughing!* love this!Kathryn Magendiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-58972904694974250322010-02-01T12:20:39.243-05:002010-02-01T12:20:39.243-05:00How many brain scientists does it take to write a bestseller?<br /><br />everyone knows you CANT AB more than one!!!<br /><br />Still thinking about which book....Liz Laffertyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12859203366799755578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-29874296648084496602010-02-01T11:58:57.306-05:002010-02-01T11:58:57.306-05:00How many brain scientists does it make to write a bestseller?<br />-- One, but her name has to be Livia...<br /><br /><br />Okay, I&#39;ll be back with my second entry when I can think of something actually funny as opposed to just blatantly sucking up to the judge.... ;)<br /><br />If I win, I think I&#39;d go for &quot;Will Write for Shoes&quot;, simply because chick lit is a genre I&#39;ve never touched, so it would be interesting reading.Rachel Cotterillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-52007292953287269592010-02-01T11:03:39.672-05:002010-02-01T11:03:39.672-05:00Ahh, great contest.
