Fun with sulfur hexafluoride

Lance Lund, a professor at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, was asked to prepare a promotional science video for the college back in 1995 that was to air on a local cable access channel. All went well until he inhaled some sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The video never aired, but many more of you from around the world will be able to enjoy this blooper thanks to You Tube.

Captains Log 12th October 2008

Korky's attempt to get the little bird out of the cuckoo clock continues...he has removed the pine cones and pendulum on numerous occasions and recently removed both wind up chains.

Today he pulled the hands off and after a 3 hour exhausting search we suspected he may have swallowed the minute hand.

Our anxiety was relieved when Rose got up, lifted the room carpet to discover the missing clock hand...Both Rose's decision to look under the centre of the room carpet and how the hand got there is a mystery.

A man walks into a bar....

A polar bear, a giraffe and a penguin walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this? Some kind of joke?"

A skeleton walks into a bar and says, "Gimme a beer, and a mop."

Shakespeare walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a beer. "I can't serve you." says the bartender. "You're Bard!"

Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "Would you like a beer?" Descartes replies, "I think not", then disappeared

A guy walks into a bar with a newt on his shoulder. "What do you call that?", asks the bartender. "I call him Tiny, because he's my newt!"


A dog went to a bar which was also a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote: "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof." The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog, "There are only nine words here. You could send another 'Woof' for the same price." The dog replied, "But that would make no sense at all!"
