1082: “Geology”

[zilix]

Subduction DOES lead to orogeny, which, of course, causes relief.

[Max™]

Yeah. Frack that dike until you feel shear heaven because I'm hung like a horst.

(And I'm spent.)

It's difficult to determine on a stick-figure, but perhaps she aroused him because she appeared to be spathic . . .

[ahammel]

Fact: every geologist owns one of those hats.

[Whys]

Yep, a lot of female geologists out there...

Do you think there aren't? Citation on that?

If palaeontologists count, I think the majority of the geologists I've met are women.

I like this comic. It feels... more relaxed. It's a simple, funny joke that doesn't take an hour of thinking to 'get'. It's nice.

[Coyoty]

"We have a situation forming."
"Mm-hm."
"A hot steaming bulge is developing on the front side..."
"Yesss..."
"I think it might get blown at any t-- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Yes, we count. While some have degrees in Biology, most of us are Geologists. Can't do the necessary stratigraphy without it

My favorite t-shirt from college (carefully folded up with my "Subduction Leads to Orogeny" shirt)

"That eruption was of seismic proportions!"

[da Doctah]

That'll teach you to go around graben things.

If you get tired of looking down for innuendos, look up. Meteorology has a bunch too, from warm fronts to mammatus clouds.

Not sure mammatus counts, as they're actually named after breasts.

It would be like if there were rock formations called "longdongvonhugenstites" that were shaped like dicks.

Btw, bmonk, this was my response the last time I saw the joke from your sig made:


I was a little too amused by that, I suppose.

[whateveries]

...mesa horny.

[MrT2]

Geology makes the bedrock.

[StClair]

Bringing new meaning to "me love you long time."

[geomike]

Afterwards, they dropped some acid and looked for joints.

[RAGBRAIvet]

What — nobody yet thought of the obvious one?

Once they complete ... whatever ... he says to her, "did the earth move for you too?"

[The Moomin]

I have to go to site to try locate a fault line tomorrow.

My work isn't all it's cracked up to be.

[Nomic]

Fact: every geologist owns one of those hats.

True. Well, I own one atleast.

And I can attest that there are a lot of female geologists. In the university we study we seem to have an about even split between male and female geology students, which is more than a lot of other departments of natural sciences have (biology I think also has significant amount of female students. Physics and chemistry less so).

[zer]

When discussing plate tectonics, you can talk in hushed tones about Sunda megathrust.

[willaaaaaa]

Hehehehehe how great would that be!?

[Just a Geologist]

The comic and thread are phaneritic.

[Mikeski]

It is difficult to keep a straight face when manufacturing ICs, as well. Probes, pads, packages, implants, test insertion, fingers, bumps, and balls. (One ball can have many bumps, but it's usually just one finger per ball.) We also have bonds and masks and leakage, if you're into that.

[benji55545]

I'm sorry, but I had to sign up to point how unrealistic this comic is. It is a well know fact that love between geologists is strictly plutonic.

As someone who studies igneous petrology, I especially liked this one. But as a college geology student, I can attest that relationships between geologists are not always plutonic (and may not always classify as "love").

[Humuhumu]

This comic made me laugh out loud ...and kind of miss my graduate school days.
