When Dictator Kim’s rogue scientists are covertly working on a few hybrids of presently known corona variants with the aim of releasing them into unfriendly nations that want to end his three-generation dynasty, or that refuse to remove any trade sanctions against the recluse kingdom.

One Trump joke goes as follows:
Don goes to prison and the first night he’s trying to get some sleep when he hears an inmate yell out, ‘19!’ followed by a chuckle from his cellmate. He didn’t pay attention to it, but then there was a yell of ‘47!’ and another chuckle.
‘What the heck is going on?’ he asks his cellmate.
‘Well, we’ve heard every presidential lie in here so often, so we’ve numbered them to save time.’
‘Oh,’ he says, ‘can I give it a try?’
‘Sure, no problem.’
So, Don yells out ‘11,780!’ and there is commotion. Wild laughter sweeps from cell to cell. Eventually the laughter subsided, and Don turns to his cellmate who is wiping his tears of joy. ‘That was a good one, dude?’
‘Yeah! We’ve never heard that lie before!’

Get the Trump Joke mug.The label for the unnamed and unapproved half-baked coronavirus vaccine by Indian firm Biological E, which has shown “promising results” in the first two phases, and which will be available for use in the next few months, with or without WHO’s approval.
The BJP government has so much faith in Vaccine X that it has made a $206m order for 300 million doses, compared to 350 million doses from both Covishield and Covaxin, the two WHO-unapproved vaccines currently in use.

Chanting his MAGA MATH mantra at rallies, Donald J. Trump promises his blue-collar supporters that only true-blue white Americans would be allowed to be part of the US math teams at all regional and international contests and competitions, and not alien mathletes or math imports.

Get the MAGA MATH mug.A yet to be confirmed “Indian Variant 2.0” or “Delta 2.0,” which would not only be more resistant to Covid-19 vaccines, but also more transmissible (or even more lethal) than variants currently circulating the planet.
If the Nepal variant were confirmed, guesstimate how many hikers worldwide who had already planned to climb Mount Everest this year would be forced to cancel their dream trip.

Although only fully vaccinated people are exempted from wearing a mask in public, tens of thousands of unjabbed diehard Trumpists in several red states pay lip service to the mask rules, because they figure out that the odds of them getting caught are very low.

What did Pi do? Make other constants envious of her.
When did Pi do it? Around a quarter past three.
Where did Pi do it? In the least unexpected places.
Why did Pi do it? To prove why she is so popular.
How did Pi do it? By moving around in circles (and sometimes with needles).

On Pi Day, Mr. Pier, a high-school math teacher, was called up to the principal’s office to explain “The 5 Ws (and an H) of Pi” he SMSed to his fellow colleagues and students—the boss wanted to make sure that the math joke doesn’t carry any double meaning.
