Rather geekily I did get the rest of them, though not 13.

Here's another:

When it comes to binary there are only ten types of people, those who get it and those who don't.

Found this explanation online:

Why it’s funny: Because Heisenberg is uncertain, Godel sees that the joke is logically incomplete, and Chomsky is an asshole. I mean, because Chomsky distinguishes between the joke itself and the linguistic performance.

**** me, that just proves the theory that it's not funny if you have to explain it...

I got the rest, too, although I still don't understand 12.
