So this is the 'infamous' list of puns that accumulate most of our class time - Joly amusing. One more you may want to add, which you stated during class, "Knowledge is power, but power is work over time" - chuckle ... har har. Oxford dictionary should seriously consider this. Some other ones may include:

Paradox (par'-u-doks'): Two physicians.

Yawn: An honest opinion openly expressed.

Adventure: somewhere between entertainment and panic.

Algorithm - 1: Bill Clinton's Vice President attempting to sing doo-wop.
2: a trendy dance for hip programmers or mathematicians.

Answer: what everybody is still looking for.

Astronomy: TV for the ancient Greeks.

Skeptic: one who won't take know for an answer.

science: preconception meeting verification.

Quark: the sound made by a well-bred duck.

Programmer: a red-eyed, mumbling mammal capable of conversing with inanimate objects.

Physics: reverse-engineering the universe.

Physicist: an atom's way of knowing about atoms.

New journalism: [Media] print the truth - don't offend anyone.

life: that brief interlude between nothingness and eternity.

A lot more could be added to this ... Good for a laugh or two.
