These stories just show that scientists do have a sense of humor, but the readers are too thick to get it. "We don't just wear these white coats with our names embroidered on the pocket. We know a good joke when we tell it. Imagine how much fun it would be to attend some scientist cocktail parties "Did you hear about the penguin that was the size of 1/100th of an asteroid?"
