Halloween Science Costume Ideas
Directions: Explain the following puns. A pun is just a funny little play on words. Write the explanation
below each one. Due Monday, November 4, 2013 for extra credit. No late papers will be accepted.
•
This Halloween you should go as Pavlov. Not everyone will get it, but it should ring a bell.
Pavlov conducted conditioning experiments. He presented dogs with food when ringing a bell. Eventually the bell
alone caused the dogs to salivate in anticipation of the food to come.
•
I may or may not go as Schrodinger.
•
I was thinking about Heisenberg, but I’m still uncertain.
•
Actually, I’ve already selected Darwin. Naturally.
•
Einstein would be a relatively good costume.
•
I was gonna do Hertz, but I fear I’ve done that one too frequently.
•
I should be Tesla to electrify the party!
•
I dunno if I could pull off a costume on somebody who studied energy. I just don’t have the Joules.
•
I don’t have the Class to pull off Linnaeus.
•
On the topic of Tesla, what about Edison? That one would be much more Direct.
•
Gauss would be a real chick magnet.
•
Conversely, Nels would be a Bohr.
•
I could do Copernicus, but the world DOES revolve around me.
•
Though I’m being pulled toward Newton.
•
I’m thinking Edward Teller. That guy was the bomb!
•
I’ll give you a call if I’m going as Bell.
•
I was thinking of doing Newton, but I fear it might be too derivative of yours.
•
I’ll go as Lebriz; he’s an integral part of any party.
•
I might spring on the idea of a Hooke costume.
•
Currently I’m thinking about Ampere.
•
Hubble seems to be a stellar concept.
•
You should consider Sir William Ramsey. It may be kind of dumb, but it seems most of the good ideas
argon.
•
I’ll go as John Watson under one condition.
