FOR ALL AGES
There's always time for a funny pun or two, especially when you're making clocks, watches, hours or minutes the star of your jokes.
But while there's plenty of laughs to be had on the topic of time it's also a serious business. Did you know, for example, that at the top of Mount Everest a year would be around 15 microseconds shorter than a year experienced at sea level?
Ever heard of the strontium atomic clock? It's found in America and is the most accurate clock to have ever been built. Scientists say it will be accurate within a second for more than 15 billion years.
Ready for a few jokes? Read on for some giggles and a pun or two to pass the time and if you're still looking for more laughs have a look at these space puns and these rock puns.
Here are some more wonderfully funny puns you may like.
