Did you hear about the grad student who wrote his thesis on overinflated balloons?

His appendix burst.

Good one to use with grad students

My friend: "I just received my acceptance letter to this university for the Master's Program".

Her dad: "You'll have more degrees than a thermometer!"

Everyone: "Hahahaha!"

A young woman runs a science experiment.

Once, there was a young woman who wanted to do a little psychological experiment. So she carefully bred cherry trees to bloom in multiple colors, and arranged to have them planted such that the trees of one color would spell out the name of some other color. You know, to test the Stroop effect.

However, the instructions (which were, admittedly, odd) weren't transmitted to the workers (all starving underpaid grad students) effectively, so the groups of various colored cherry trees were planted such that the colors matched the names, completely invalidating her experiment.

She's now the Stroop drupe group blooper girl, Stroop drupe blooper girl, Stroop drupe blooper girl...

She now focuses on Anglo-Saxon royalty.
