Help needed in deciphering a joke.

Featured Replies

The picture itself is insensitive, but if you wish to look at the original, it is here: http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/4815941/So+that+s+what+he+was+thinking/

For those who want to click on the link, it is a joke involving some aspect of the Aurora Massacre. I don't especially like jokes about murders, but seeing as the joke is based in what I believe is physics (I am a student; I recognized several equations, namely kinetic energy, in the picture, but few else.), and, seeing as I am not a master of physics, nor are many frequenters of the site, I did not understand it.

 

Here is a transcription (or at least as close as I can come) of the text:

Okay, nevermind on that. Too many symbols to find. But the joke is entirely equation-based, and seeing as I recognized a grand total of two different equations out of a considerable amount more, I cannot decipher it on my own. If someone might help me, I would be grateful, but, of course, I don't blame you at all if you don't want to help on the basis of it being insensitive. The only reason I'm posting it is because I'm curious about what it actually does say.

 

 

And yeah, in case it wasn't clear, the joke is exclusively based in equations.

The specific equations probably aren't important. The thrust of this IMO not funny joke is that he was thinking about high-level physics. There are E&M equations, and the Schroedinger equation (including a relativistic version)

I think it's alluding to the common question of "What the hell was going on in his head?" by suggesting that he's actually deriving physical characteristics all day rather than thinking about murder.

The (very) bad part of the joke is that his father is a mathematician and scientist .

(source wiki page about J.E. Holmes)

Not funny.
