May 8, 2017 Good Morning Alexa (Atoms)




Alexa shares with us Ernest Rutherford's discovery of Alpha and Beta radiation.  She also shares a science joke with us.

What happens when someone tells a joke and you don't "get it"?

You have some choices:

you can laugh like you get it

you can ask them to explain

you can groan like you get it, but don't think it's funny

This happens to everyone sometime or another.  My father had a joke that I laughed at for years, but really didin't understand.  One day, I was driving home and the joke just hit me.  It was funny!  I got it!
