Quadruple points if you can explain colder than 0 in Kelvin. Reality is the original Rorschach.

From the Globe & Mail:
WINNIPEG -- Everybody on the Prairies has a different measure of how frigid it has been this week, but Winnipeg zoo curator Bob Wrigley can trump them all: "It was too cold for the polar bear,"

Grind the teeth and desolve the pouder in cola before disposing of the solution down the toilet of a not-in-your-town public restroom. Also--remember to dig the hole first. You never hear a news story about a body discovered at the bottom of a ten foot deep hole. Those shallow graves are ruining peoples lives!! The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity...for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing. ----Unknown

Alka-Seltzer doubled their sales with one successful ad campaign. The instructions were to take one Alka-Seltzer, but when the memorable jiggle came out "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz..." people started doubling the recommended dose, thus there was a HUGE increase in sales suddenly.
While on the subject of the Bayer Corporation. They invented aspirin in 1853, as many of you may know they became famous for it. What you may not know is they also trademarked Heroin (diacetylmorphine). This addictive drug was originally sold as a cough treatment. Heroin was a Bayer trademark, until World War I... they also invented methadone.

According to Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts (1979), an Assyrian clay tablet dating to approximately 2800 BC was unearthed bearing the words "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common." Reality is the original Rorschach.

Way more boring than just about every other post in the thread. My fencing philosophy = quantity over quality. Eliminate the rest periods! Fence all three weapons! 15 touches for Vet DE's!
