Did You Know?.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump, by the way.

"Is a bear Catholic? Does the Pope s**t in the wood?"

Just not funny when it has to be explained. :(

P.S. Mensch, the decent links toillustrate the phrase all have the word s**t in the url, so our swear filter breaks the link. :urff:

Kick the living shit out of you. But it would not jump.

Admit it, an elephant hopping up and down, it WOULD be a funny sight, no? Quite cartoonesque actually...

That's because they are too daft to get the principle in their stupid heads. They're called donkeys ;)

They have non-reflective retinas.
Around here they're called dassies.
They make crap pets - my cousin tried to domesticate one on his farm.

And finally, here is a pic of one enjoying a fag.

"Ever notice how old glass panes are thicker at the bottom?" tends to be an argument. Does that mean that leaving two panes of glass laying on top of one another for decades/centuries will result in one pane of glass as they flow and blend together? :?:

Here is one summary on the subject, which comments on the pane glass example.
I've read that the old glass panes being thicker at the bottom was done deliberately for some reason to do with constructing the building. I can't find it now (I thought it was on Snopes, but maybe not.)

Other than that your link seems to be a pretty good summary. You have to remember that categories "solid" and "liquid" are human constructs. In the real world, there is no clear cut-off between the two categories.

Probably because they'd break their legs when they landed.

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law that stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

Apparently, the ladies don´t have to fear restrictions in their choice of weapons.
So much for equal rights.
