Recreation

When it's time to relax. Or if you're just curious as to whether there is anything humorous about physics. Regretably, the source of the really bad puns we tell is a secret known to few.

• DC Physics Humor
• Physics and Astronomy Fun
• Science Jokes

It is well known that physics gladdens the heart, puts a spring in your step, and a song on your lips.

• PhysicsSongs.org - A web site maintained at Haverford College by Walter Smith. A truly comprhensve listing of physics songs on the WEB including a few original compositions by Walter Smith, Marian McKenzie, and students at Haverford.
• Physics Pholk Songs - A collection of songs developed at Dickinson College by the Activity Based Physics Group.
• The Physics Song Book - One of the earliest collections of physics songs on the WEB. This site includes the classic, Homework Bound.
• Original Physics Songs - from the 2000 end of year Christmas Party at the Institute of Theoretical Physics.
• Les Horribles Cernettes - a High Energy Physics band from CERN.
