someone did work out though that if you swipe a slice of bread of the kitchen-top or table there is a highly elevated chance it will land buttered side down. its down to how many times it can rotate before hitting the floor.

cats are not more likely to survive a drop of a bigger than a lesser hight because of rotation time though, they do have bigger survival chance from a higher height but thats because they actually slow down their fall by spreading themselves out like a flying monkey, they can rotate fast enough to land on their feet when dropped from inches though.

i watch to much QI :lol:

if two Canadians arrive at a doorway at exactly the same time they will stand there saying "no, after you" until one of them dies of thirst or starvation. It is because of this that Canada has a small population relative to its size.

as far as I know very few canadians have died due to politeness related incidents. I may be wrong - nothing can be certain in a land where milk comes in bags and giant rats eat trees to dam rivers.

Benjamin Franklin was actually a wizard - his famous kite experiment was a cover for a new spell he had created. The declaration of independence, when read in reverse, is a spell which animates the Statue of Liberty, causing it to rampage over America's enemies. It was last deployed in the second world war, when circumstances dictated that the statue swim under the pacific and beat the piss out of the Battleship Yamato. Of course, whilst the statue is away on business a replacement is used, the current one dating from 1927 after the original was damaged irreparably when Calvin Coolidge accidentally backed the presidential limosine into it (the replacement was made of compacted tea-leaves and silt dredged from Boston harbour and as such stood no chance.) The current replacement is made out of millions of laminated papiermarks left over from the German hyperinflation crisis a few years earlier in a move to build stronger relations between the two nations.

Obama is the second coming of Lenin, and Lenin was the second coming of Jesus of Nazareth who got really confused when people said let's stone him. He was expecting good weed, but got pelted with killing rocks then impaled slowly on a lower case T. There is evidence Jesus also was Marx as shown by the hair and beard, and this is why Bakunin didn't like Marx and they had that petty split thing.

Alien abductions occur and they conduct foul experiments on their human subjects. They also like to take babies from pregnant women and anally probe humans. They also mutilate cattle, and have something to do with area 51 that seems to be a marijuana operation on a massive scale.

Marx founded Communist philosophy on the principle that class struggles have been, by far, the primary cause of all strife, wars, economic woes, and regime collapses. There are popularly thought to be three major classes of people: the upper, the middle, and the lower. The upper class has most of the wealth; the lower class the least; and the middle class plays the peacemaker between them, maintaining the hope and sanity of the lower class. Without the middle class, heads are chopped.

Communism itself does not erase the class struggle, as it proclaims, but keeps it going. It does this because it is a government: there must be a group of people in charge, and it’s likely that this group enjoys its power. By maintaining their power, the leaders of a Communist state separate the population into at least two classes: themselves as the upper class, and preferably everyone else in the lower class.Communist states have generally not featured a middle class—and its absence allowed for the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917; the Chinese of 1949, the Cuban of 1953-59, and a host of others.

(bold mine)

edit: that last bit might have some truth to it though. Fuck the middle-income collaborationists. (we'll ignore for now that the popular ideas of classes are dead-wrong.)
