Finals week is almost upon us, and we are all frantically running around studying and getting those final projects and papers done. However, it's important to remember to take a break and breathe once in a while. Here are some humerus science puns to check out during your well-deserved break.

1. I have many chemistry jokes, but I'm afraid they won't get a good reaction.

Straight and to the point.

2. Are you a leading zero? Because you are not significant.

To use in moments of extreme anger and frustration.

3. What did the biologist wear on his first date? Designer genes.

What a fashionable man! He must get it from his parents.

4. If Iron Man and Silver Surfer team up, they'd be alloys.

Not your typical allies! Alloys are mixtures of two elements, and if you put Iron Man and Silver Surfer together, you'd get a mixture of iron and silver, forming an alloy.

5. "The name is Bond. Ionic Bond. Taken, not shared."

We know that the infamous James Bond prefers his drinks "shaken, not stirred." However, an ionic bond occurs when electrons are transferred from one molecule to another, hence the "taken, not shared."

6. Organic chemistry gives students alkynes of trouble.

Organic chemistry is the study of compounds that contain carbon, and an alkyne consists of two carbons that share a triple bond. If you're one of those who has to take an organic chemistry final this semester, don't worry. It'll all be over soon, even if you feel like diene right now.

7. A photon checks into a hotel. When asked if he needs help with any of his luggage, he replies "No, I'm traveling light."

For all you physics fans out there. A photon is a massless packet of light. So this pun goes two ways: it is literally light that is traveling and it is also traveling light, since it does not have any mass.

8. I lost an electron today. You really have to keep your ion them.

Those electrons sure know how to get away. If an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.

9. Two red blood cells met and fell in love. But alas, it was in vein.

It's a tragic love story, actually. Blood cells only live for up to 90 days, so their love really was in vain.

10. Have you heard of the man who was cooled to absolute zero? He's 0K now.

The temperature for absolute zero is defined as 0 degrees Kelvin. That's pretty cool.

11. Argon walks into a bar and is told to get out. Argon doesn't react.

Argon is a noble gas, found in the last column of the periodic table. These noble gases are very stable and, as a result, they are not reactive elements. Pretty hard to get these gases riled up.
