Long ago, in the early 70's, I was driving in a torrential downpour, listening to talk radio. The weather report came on announcing a 60 percent chance of showers. A listener called in and said there's this new meteorological instrument that you ought to get. It's called a window and you look out of it.

It's a tough one, but when I first came up with it I laughed for an hour.

#5 and #6. Five because it points out the brain exploding excuses we use to not follow the rest of the world. Six because it's a good pun and photo illustration of the pun.

I agree that standardized, base 10 measurement is crucial to SCIENCE. But to watch an English baking show and to hear them give ingredients for a 300 year-old pudding recipe in grams and milliliters sounds absolutely ridiculous, and is instantly mood-killing.

Great work!

#2, also reminds me of my kids when I comment on how they are getting along so well.

Any Monte Python reference improves a meme, exponentially.

As a teacher of Earth/Space curriculum, I try to keep the “space is cool” sign on whenever possible.
