"It's cruel to farm animals to switch to DST each year. They have to get up an hour earlier. The cows get confused."

Sadly, this is true.

Do cows get confused? With all that cud-chewing Zen meditation they do, I always thought they had stuff pretty well worked out.

"Can you get high by using a balloon, sugar and active dry yeast?"
    Posted by JT on 6 Dec 2009. + (4) - (0) Permalink
Yes, it's simple! Feed the sugar to the yeast to create alcohol. While flying your hot air balloon, drink the alcohol and pass out, causing you to lose track of your altitude and float as high as you like.
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 6 Dec 2009.
Ah, good thinking! I thought maybe the secret was to burn the balloon and inhale the fumes, then ignore the yeast and sugar.

Wow. That could have been the name of this website.

Yes, right :)

To provide us with shadow, obviously. And oxygen too, maybe.

Q: Why will an iron nail rust?
A: If the nail is left in air it will rust because air is really water.
    Posted by JT on 3 Jan 2010. + (4) - (0) Permalink
Which is why people often swim through the air.
    Posted by Socky on 3 Jan 2010.
This can't be the whole story. If air is really water, then nobody would be worried about the sea level rising.

So, maybe water is really air, too?
