    The chemical unit of amount, the "gopher", comes from the practice of alchemists to use these small furry animals to do the mundane laboratory tasks. This practice continued till the early 19th century, when graduate students were invented.

    We don't have metric graduate students in America. We still measure our grad students the old fashion way: 14 and 9/24 grad students per hoghead.

    I wish I knew all those years ago that simply joining this board and proclaiming myself to be rational would magically transform my uninformed opinions into science; it would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

    The center of the sun is a gigantic sphere of pure lead. Without it, the hydrogen and helium would just float away.

    Linterlandia is the only nation that is completely inside-out. Visitors often come to the border just to look at the large tags saying "XXL-Dry Clean Only"

    Venus Williams is from California, Mars bars are originally from England and potatoes are meteoritic chunks of Vesta.

    Their second biggest hit, Whippet Hare back & forth, was about a large, skinny white rabbit in a rocking chair.

    A neutron board is a hypothetical device for controlling the flow of neutrons; similar to the way a circuit board controls electrons, so as to use the neutrons in digital computations.
