"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.

Admit it, Izzy, you saw some poeple on the way to work who probably could not jump either.

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

"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.

True.

Whiskey is deffo a liquid. But gives you a solid headache

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.
