Random Thought of the Day

I have read an article where a physicist had calculated the probability of toast landing with the buttered side down and established that it was slightly more than 50 %. He had taken momentum of rotation and a slight alteration of the equilibrium point cause of the butter (and marmelade, I think) into account as well as other effects that I\'ve forgotten about.

I think there where still some \'holes\' in his arguments, but it was quite entertaining nonetheless.

I actually saw an experiment on this. They found that it always lands butter side down because it starts at approximately 3.5 feet up, butter side up. They then took toast onto a 7-foot ladder and it always landed butter side up!


As to Steven Wright, he\'s great for one-liners:
\"I bought dehydrated water, but I don\'t know what to add.\"
\"I have a life-size map of the earth. I unfolded it once and now I can\'t fold it back.\"
\"if you drive a car the speed of light and turn on the headlights, does anything happen?\"

@Naukhel - I LOVE this one being a HUGE Rush fan!! (Can I borrow it for my sig line - pleeeese? )

As I can\'t take credit for the quote, myself, Red... feel free. Take it. Use it. Enjoy it.

Edit: Also need to gloat a little, since you said you\'re a RUSH fan... I\'ve met Neal Peart and Geddy Lee. Still need to meet Alex Lifeson, though.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure that you realize that what you heard was not what I meant.

my first limerick
a flea and a fly in a flue
were in prison so what could they do
said the flea, let\'s fly
said the fly, let\'s flee
so they flew through the flaw in the flue

There once was a lady named Myrtle.
She got a present that was a turtle.
She thought it was dead
and poked at its head.
Now the turtle has Myrtle.
