Astrology Jokes

An econometrician and an astrologer are arguing about their subjects.The astrologer says, "Astrology is more scientific. My predictions come out right half the time. Yours can't even reach that proportion".The econometrician replies, "That's because of external shocks. Stars don't have those".

I read the news today (oh boy!) that Pluto is no longer an official planet. After years of being one of the planetary gang, followed by additional years of contentious debate by astronomers who seem to have nothing better to do with their time, Pluto was (to paraphrase the slogan of a tiresome reality show) voted off the universe.

Honestly, I always loved Pluto as a planet. Being the smallest of the bunch and the furthest from the Sun, Pluto always seemed like the plucky underdog of the heavens. In fact, no one even knew it was there until 1930 – and it took an amateur astronomer to find it, no less (all of the so-called professionals didn’t even know it was there). Plus, it moved to its own drumbeat: rather than run in parallel orbit with the other planets, it had the audacity to cut off Neptune and muscle in on its orbital path.

I can also sympathize with Pluto for being told it’s not good enough to belong. Hell, I think everyone’s been in a situation like more...

An econometrician and an astrologer are arguing about their subjects.
The astrologer says, "Astrology is more scientific. My predictions come out right half the time. Yours can`t even reach that proportion".
The econometrician replies, "That`s because of external shocks. Stars don`t have those".

"The report that important decisions in the White House were
based on astrological advice is most disturbing. The results
could undermine faith in astrology."
