How it works

Dippin' Dots are made by feeding ice cream to rabbits.

Causes of death

Guns don't kill people, insufficient oxygen flow to vital organs due to excessive blood loss through bullet wounds kills people.

Hurricane Earl

There once was a storm in Nantucket
we feared would hit hard once it struck it.
The media stressed,
but it turned for the best:
the rain barely filled up a bucket.

Sharing is bad

If Bob were to download child pornography on BitTorrent, he would be violating U.S. federal law. The logic behind that law is that downloading and sharing the content -- without even paying the creator of that content -- would lead to *increased* profits toward the content creator, which would in turn lead to *more* of it being produced.

If Bob were to download copyrighted music on BitTorrent, he would be violating U.S. federal law. The logic behind that law is that downloading and sharing the content -- without even paying the creator of that content -- would lead to *decreased* profits toward the content creator, which would in turn lead to *less* of it being produced.

...wait.

Legal question

Two super hot girls are having consensual sex with each other. Suddenly, girl A grabs you and forces you to go down on both of them (although you are perfectly fine with this turn of events). However, girl B only wants to have sex with girl A, not you, even though it's girl A that's making you have sex with girl B.

Is someone being raped here? If so, who, and by whom?

Sheep wool, dogs drool

In Soviet Russia, you aren't a female sheep, a female sheep is ewe.

Thermodinomics

The Ice Age turned the dinosaurs into oil. If I know science, and I think I do, then if cold turns dinosaurs into oil, heat must surely turn oil into dinosaurs. This is why burning the gulf spill oil is a bad idea: we may eliminate the oil, but then the gulf will be SWARMING WITH DINOSAURS!
