            The torch was invented when German scientist Hans Fisting invented the findable dildo: a dildo with a bulb at the end. It was 3 years later when one of these was returned to him with a burned-out motor that he 'saw the light' and marketed this new PenisLicht ("Bright Knob") as his "Studious Virgin's Friend".

                Scotch dribbles or gushes out. It is Guinness that runs out. Especially if the pipes were dirty.

                    Centipedes are lying bastards because they have 42 legs.

                      Toner cartridges make good decoy bombs for the CIA to plant just before the mid term elections.
                      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
