Bruce's Philosophers Song

Bruce's Philosophers Song
Monty Python's Flying Circus

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill
Of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say
could stick it away
half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle Aristotle
was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descarte was a drunken fart
"I drink therefore I am".
Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

GCSE chemistry

GCSE chemistry: "GCSE CHEMISTRY"

This book was written to cover the chemistry content of all the UK GCSE Chemistry syllabuses at the time (2002). It is aimed at students likely to achieve grades from A* to B, and written in a way that wouldn't cause problems for students going on to do chemistry at a higher level.

However, since then, GCSE syllabuses have changed, particularly in the order in which they do things, and with more stress on making chemistry "relevant" - some would argue, more dumbed down!

Men versus women (funny)

Men Are Just Happier People

NICKNAMES 
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, 
Kate and Sarah . 
If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other 
as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes. 
EATING OUT 
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in £20, even 
though it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and 
none will actually admit they want change back. 
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. 
MONEY 
A man will pay £2 for a £1 item he needs. 
A woman will pay £1 for a £2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. 
BATHROOMS 
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving 
cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from M&S. 
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. 
A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. 
ARGUMENTS 
A woman has the last word in any argument. 
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. 
CATS 
Women love cats. 
Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. 
FUTURE 
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. 
A man never worries about the future until he is married.
