University lecturer - "Have you completed your experiments with pendula?"
Student - "Yes, we are now sat on our ba, doing our sa".

 

Fetching my coat ...

Sorry Crossy.... I looked at Google and still can't work this one out. 

 

Please explain.

Clue. Alternative spelling of "pendula" 🙂

I'd be happy to explain the joke! This is a play on words that relies on some knowledge of physics and Latin terminology. Here's the breakdown:
  1. Pendula: The plural form of "pendulum," a physical device that swings back and forth in a regular motion.
  2. Sat on our ba: This is a play on words that sounds like "sine and cosine," which are mathematical functions that describe the motion of a pendulum.
  3. Doing our sa: This is another play on words that sounds like "tangent," another mathematical function that is related to sine and cosine.
So, the joke is that the student is using the words "sat on our ba" and "doing our sa" as a pun for "sine, cosine, and tangent," which are all related to the motion of a pendulum. It's a clever and nerdy joke that would likely make physics enthusiasts chuckle!
 

Okay,  I get the physics of it all..... Yes I did go to school not just to eat my lunch. 

 

I picked up on the pendulum part and I'm aware of sine, cosine and tangent. 

 

The following post about sitting on their arse doing sweet fa  (Or sitting on their bums doing their sums)  probably made more sense. 

 

Maybe it's all a little over my head... But keep them coming!

There are 10 types of people.
Those that understand binary, & those that don't.

 

Make that 11 types.
Those that understand binary, those that don't, and those who didn't grasp this joke even if they understand binary.

 

Is Sam Smith included in those 11?
