A big thanks to all the @F1000 Twitter followers who got into the Friday spirit and sent us their best science-related jokes with the hashtag #scijokes. After sifting through the entries (hard work, but someone has to do it) we’ve picked our favourites from the good, the bad and the groan-worthy. The winners will be notified on Twitter, and will each receive an F1000Prime T-shirt.

So without further ado, here are the three winners:

A man walks in to the bar and says "pint of H2O, please". His friend says "pint of H2O, too, please". He drank it and died. #scijokes @F1000
