164. Marine biologists estimate a blue whale's tongue to be the size of an elephant. We don't know for sure though, because the only way to find out is to get swallowed by the whale, measure it, and then live in its stomach feeding on half-digested krill until the whale passes you through its anus. The few scientists who are retrieved alive after such an ordeal tend to quit science shortly thereafter.
163. A good landscape painting should have the silhouette of a wolf, a wild stallion, an Indian, or an eagle somewhere in the frame. It should be set in the Rocky Mountains or in the Southwest. If it's a night painting, the sky should be purple. Anything else is not real art.

It also ate its own shit.

130. You
cannot sue lightning in a court of law.
129. Some
people say that flight is made possible by Bernoulli's Principle, but I know

rather just keep time going and let clocks fend for themselves.
121. Seventy-five
percent of the surface area of myspace.com profile pages is personality quiz
results. The other 25% is pictures of people in their bathrooms. I wish people

It would save a lot of bandwidth.
120. In
the Old West, outlaws only followed one rule: kill or be killed. But horses

115.In
In hindsight, it was probably a good thing that Mary and Joseph couldn't find
a room at the inn. Considering how disgusting and germ-ridden today's motel
rooms are, it's easy to imagine that a public sleeping surface in the ancient
Middle East was even more craptastic than the manger where they ended up. Anyway,
if they were so gung ho about this room-at-the-inn thing, Joe should've called
ahead. I mean, when you're booked, you're booked. You can't "mother-of-God"
you're way around "booked."
114.In
"The Fugitive," Harrison Ford's character had it rough for sure, but he should
just be glad that it was a one-armed man that did it, instead of a three-armed
man. The jury would totally call bullshit on that one.
113.A
plane is determined by three non-colinear points. A pilot is determined to get
to Burbank, so he can drink Bloody Marys in the hotel lobby all weekend and
have sex with a legal assistant he met last year at T.G.I. Friday's. And THAT
is why they don't talk about pilots in math class.

movie "Underworld" really cleared up a lot of the confusion I had regarding

110.Harrison
Ford has an earring. Wha?
109.Sometime,
Hollywood should try a making a comedy that puts an unlikely pair together,
like say a white guy and a black guy, or a jaded bachelor and an endearing rascal
of a kid. Then put them in some sort of high-pressure situation not of their
own making (like say getting caught up in a jewel-heist), where they have to
work together despite their differences, ultimately learning that people are
people and we can all bring out the best in each other. I think there could
be some really funny moments in there. Not to mention some tender ones. I'm
gonna call Hollywood right now with my idea. Or better yet, I know where I can
find a camera and two different-looking people! Summer Box Office, here I come!
108.Contrary
to contemporary mythology, the sound we perceive as thunder is actually a shockwave
caused by the rapid heating and cooling of the air immediately surrounding a
channel of lightning that strikes as a result of accumulated friction between
the carpet in Heaven and God moving His furniture. Duh.
107.In
the popular children's books, the housekeeper-character Amelia Bedelia always
ruined everything, but then never got fired, because at the end of the story

Everything's a goddamn pun with you? My drapes are ruined? Pack your shit and
get out. Peace. Don't forget your pie.
106.The
easiest way to time-travel is to go into a coma.
105.At
the first Thanksgiving, the Native Americans gave the pilgrims pumpkins, corn,
squash, turkeys, maize, and a cornucopia of fruits. They also taught them how
to plant crops in the arable land and stay warm in the cold months. "'Thanks'
for 'giving' us all this cool crap," said a man with buckles on his shoes, as
he breathed smallpox in their faces. And that's why today, "Thanksgiving" is
synonymous with "sweet deal."
104.Halloween
was originally a Pagan holiday. And this year it's on a Sunday. So enjoy dressing
up, America! Just remember that God will be watching you. Good luck not burning
in hell! Trick-or-Treat!

number of eyes than teeth. Yikes! I hope it's because they lost teeth, and didn't

practice. Same goes for ballerinas and violinists. Now get to it! One, two,

what they've done, all they do is go to their room and think about how
much you suck.

enjoy Quaker Oatmeal. He's a damn dirty liar.
72. Much to the disappointment of legend seekers, after
exhaustive study, footage of the "Loch Ness Monster" has been
proven to be no more than embellished footage of large pieces of driftwood.
The driftwood can talk and swim though, And it works for Nessie. And it
spies on fishermen and reports back to the dinosaur's secret underwater
cave. And then Nessie laughs and laughs and pats the driftwood on the
head. And maybe she feeds it. Like mud or something. Christ, I don't know
what animate driftwood eats - get off my back.

out of you.
67. The first Disney cartoon, Steamboat Willie, was a
cartoon about a mouse who steered a steamboat down a river. This is an
excellent primary source to support my theory that if given the chance,
mice can drive and hold jobs.
66. There is an obvious evolutionary advantage to the
dorsal fin: it gives shark actors the "suspense" edge over human

65. Canada boasts the largest settlement of Canadian
people in the world.
64. According to Consumer Reports, the Moon is not a
good place to raise a family. Or breathe.

Good one, Chuck!
62. In 1946, the U.S. government commissioned the building
of a nationwide interstate highway system where commercial and private

crisis.

58. If Nelly were at a party on the surface of the sun, he
wouldn't have to tell people to take off all their clothes, because their
clothes would just burn right off. Actually, they would all die and turn into
gases on the way to the party. Okay, the more that I think about it, while
at first, attending a "Hot in Hurr" party at the "Hottest Spot
in the Solar System" seemed like a really awesome idea, I think I'm going
to have to RSVP in the negative. I mean, Christ.

movie set. They like glued the apples on, I think.
56. Homosexuality is so gay.
55. Contrary to popular delusion, living in the fiefdoms
of marshmallow cereals is not all it's cracked up to be. Subjects immerse
themselves in the whiskey-soaked world of Irish folklore, chasing rainbows
and leprechauns, hunting for jewels instead of jobs. But what are they running
from? Perhaps it's the very real prospect of being nocturnally molested by
the power-lusting tyrant Count Chocula, of being mounted in their sleep and
having chocolate sucked from their necks. Or perhaps it's the guilt that gnaws
at their hypocritical guts as they preach abstinence to that poor silly rabbit-bastard,
denying him his "Trix," all the while promiscuously gorging themselves
on melty marshmallows.

in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
49. Abraham Lincoln totally should have done a sweet-ass move
on John Wilkes Booth and like shot him instead.
48. Alexander Hamilton started the National Bank (thus establishing

allow their children to spend time alone with him on a city street. Unbelievable.
