Pythagoras, Newton, and Pascal were playing Hide and Seek, and it was Pythagoras' turn to count. Pascal ran down the hallway looking for an excellent hiding spot, while Newton calmly walked to the center of the room. He then pulled out a meter-stick and drew a square on the floor with a piece of chalk, as Pythagoras got to iota, Newton stepped into the square and faced him.

Pythagoras opened his eyes and said, "Newton! I've found you why didn't you hide?"

And Newton replied, "No, you found 1 Newton per square meter, Pascal loses again!"

I think it is just you but, there again, I think rain is wet so who am I to say?

Time for a henway.

it also works with Pascal and Joule if Joule gets in a cage of 1 cubic meter in size.

Pascal loses again! He really should give up games and wagers and stick to maths.

Pascal would surely be surprised to find his name being used for 2 different derived units ... the 'science' in science_man_88 loses again!

(N*m)/(m^3) = (N/m^2)*(m/m) is all I was pointing out, I like science is what my name come from not I'm good at science.

Ah ... I didn't see how e.g. electrical energy density applied here. Strictly dimensionally speaking you are correct, although passively applying a pressure (as Newton did in the joke setup) does no work. But I concede the point, the "family joules are safe in a m^3-sized box", etc.

So a priest, a rabbi and a mullah walk into a millibar... [someone please finish the joke - but 'no pressure']

A millibar? I feel like that joke would be better served by an achondroplasiac bartender...

OK, let me rephrase that set-up:

A petite priest, a lilliputian lama and a miniscule mullah walk into a millibar...

[Had to ditch the rather-rabelasian rabbi, I'm afraid - he simply wouldn't fit into our miniature, um 'mosaic']
