There were some here I've never seen! (and a couple I didn't get and had to investigate.) I love the joke about the 3 logicians in a bar!
First wants a beer, but doesn't know if the other two do. If he didn't, he'd say no (since not ALL want a beer). Same story for second. Third deduces that they do in fact all want a beer.
Ha! I'd say that I was feeling more "romantic" than religious when writing that. I wonder if Peter Higgs has ever heard it? In my delusions of grandeur, I picture him walking around the halls of the Cern laboratories whistling the melody.
I enjoyed 19 too. I will admit, I had to reread #20 twice before getting it.
As I mentioned in a comment here, others have emailed this to me and the versions I saw all cited reddit pretty overtly and provided links. I think it's an interesting phenomenon that has been occurring around tweets for some time now and it appears reddit is now a part of it, even beyond the Daily Dot. But I think the reason to not just link to the reddit post is that these publications have (conceivably) edited out all the crappy jokes.
Don't get me wrong, I think the whole "repackaging social media as journalism" thing is pretty weak. Are the jokes they chose the top ones from the post or did they do some digging? Either way wouldn't surprise me.
I'd love to see whether or not Hubski can influence the popular/public consciousness. Hopefully not for tiger pictures though.

I could tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it. I would tell you a TCP joke, but I'd just have to keep repeating it until you got it.
The world's largest collection of ridiculous math related jokes One of my favs:A Mathematician (M) and an Engineer (E) attend a lecture by a Physicist. The topic concerns Kulza-Klein theories involving physical processes that occur in spaces with dimensions of 9, 12 and even higher. The M is sitting, clearly enjoying the lecture, while the E is frowning and looking generally confused and puzzled. By the end the E has a terrible headache. At the end, the M comments about the wonderful lecture.
E: "How do you understand this stuff?"
M: "I just visualize the process"
E: "How can you POSSIBLY visualize something that occurs in 9-dimensional space?"
M: "Easy, first visualize it in N-dimensional space, then let N go to 9"
I saw this posted elsewhere and cliffelam sent it to me too. My favorite wasn't included in the buzzfeed version, it's as follows: The physicist shoots but misses 5 feet to the left. The engineer shoots and misses 5 feet to the right. The statistician yells "We got him!"A physicist, engineer and a statistician are out hunting. Suddenly, a deer appears.
