On SCIENCE FACTS

Together at last: SCIENCE, FACTS and writing things in CAPITAL LETTERS.

All of these facts have been peer reviewed by a panel of top scientists and certified EXCELLENT.

10. Amongst the many sub-atomic particles identified by SCIENCE are the quark, the quason, bosoms, cheesecake and Gandalf. This might also explain why a staggering 77% of particle physicists are unmarried.

9. Before gravity was invented by Sir Isaac Newton, everything had to be nailed down, including nails.

8. Creationists argue that the universe was brought into being 6,000 years ago. This is absolutely true, and can be proved by the dated copyright warning found on a recent Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil found in Pigdick, Arkansas

7. SCIENCE tells us that toast always lands butter side down, while cats always land on their feet. Superglue a kitten to a slice of freshly-buttered toast and voila - the Holy Grail that is perpetual motion

6. We can be rightly proud of humanity's efforts in splitting the atom to provide unlimited power and firey nuclear destruction. The trick comes, in these days of limited resources, from sweeping up all the broken bits of atom and gluing them back together for next time

5. Following a bizarre spacehopper accident, Seamus O'Flaherty of Bethnal Green, London became the first recipient of a pair of buttocks grafted on from a recently deceased donor in a procedure known as a "Fart Transplant"

4. The cast of cult cop drama CSI use SCIENCE to help them solve crimes. For example, they were able to solve a complex murder investigation by forensically examining the inks on a business card found at a crime scene bearing the words "Mad Frank McMad (Murders done cheap) Email: murdersdonecheap@murders.com"

3. Excellent practitioner of SCIENCE Professor Stephen Hawking is on the verge of publishing his greatest thesis: "A study of sitting around doing bugger all for thirty years for shits and giggles"

2. Albert Einstein - another noted practitioner of SCIENCE - was also the inventor of what has become known on the internet as "l33t speak". Proof of this theory comes from the first draft of his now famous Theory of Relativity which reads 3 = |\/| C sqrd! WTF!!!!!!1 LOL!!!!!!1 OMG!!!!!!1 ROTFLOLOLOL!!!111

1: In order to save the world from the perils of Global Warming, NASA is to launch a manned mission to the sun to install a lower wattage bulb. Citizens are urged to do their bit by leaving their fridge doors open once a week.

Bonus FACT: Entering the words "search engine" on any internet search engine will cause a catastrophic infinite search loop, creating a massive cross-server overload which will eventually crash the entire internet. It’s a known bug which was foxed boffins at Google and Microsoft for years.

Bonus bonus FACT: Think twice before talking dirty to your wife/girlfriend/mistress on your mobile phone! In order to maximise profits, all calls are routed through your local prison, where the inmates are employed to operate the system as cheap labour. This is why they are known as "cell" phones.

Furst for black holes!

Aunty Brenda said...

Who are you calling a black hole? My third husband called me that once. Only once.

Zed said...

Scaryduck = Julian Meteor. FACT.

PMSL!!!!

Pseudonymph said...

I thought they were called 'cell' phones, because that's what the emitted electromagnetic field things destroy.
I, however, am in possession of a complete set of Cells, as I refuse to use a mobile phone for calls, restricting its usage to recording Eskimo Joe concerts and kookaburras.

Zed: EPIC FAIL

I read no 1 as the penis of Global Warming. I was disappointed.

Went to the RAF museum at Hendon yesterday (keepng niece occupied) and there, in a prominent postion, is a list of famous people who were in the Air Cadets. I was appalled to see that you aren't on it.

Brennig said...

I wish to complain.

I have spent the last *four hours* trying to achieve the Holy Grail of perpetual motion.

I have superglued six cats (and boy, what a struggle that is!) to various pieces of freshly toasted, buttered bread to no avail.

I have used White, Brown, Wholemeal and even, in desperation, a slice of Hovis.

I believe you are either mistaken in your statement that it is possible to achieve perpetual motion in this way or you are using some type of bread I have not tried.

Please advise.

Also, please advise what I should do with all these cats? They're making a terrible din yowling around the house and making a real mess with their bready/toasty footprints.

Erin said...

Debster - that *is* disappointing.

...#7 and #9 are excellent...

Debster said...

No Erin you are wrong. 7 and 9 are EXCELLENT.

Misty said...

I was going to write something incredibly erudite and witty, but then I read Brennig's comment and completely forgot what it was...

PS. Brennig - try pitta bread.

Anonymous said...

Try naan bread. You can wrap it round the cat to achieve total rotation.

I don't want to worry anyone, but JM recently posted something on his own blog (for the first time in ages), potentially confirming that he's still at large.
God help us all...

Re point 7 and Brennin's comments...

If you could find a way to superglue the buttered side of toast to a cat's feet you'd invent anti-gravity.

toadold said...

Used a nail gun to attach two cats' feet together. There was a lot of motion and noise but it was not perpetual. However the neighbors called the police and since I couldn't pay the fine, I had a lot of time to think about what went wrong.
I'm going to the zoo to try larger cats when I have the time and I'm going back to super glue.

WrathofDawn said...

Toadold: A pox on you, sir!

Brennig: Try kittens. Less body mass.

Kevin 'In Salford' said...

LOL n LOL at No. 2! WTF wz e xpctn?

Unfortunately No. 3 is only a very small part of the real truth behind that guy's life!

Oh, and Bonus No. 1 was always factually incorrect. Maybe it's down to the first law in designing search engines?

Erin said...

Debster - I stand CORRECTED. :)

Joy said...

Science? What is this science of which you speak?

Re 7: Sorry, no.
