The greatest Canadian warplane ever made and possibly the World's most advanced interceptor at the time, the Avro Arrow, was rolled out the same day Sputnik I was launched.   As a result it received little of the media attention that day.  The launch of Sputnik also signaled the era of ballistic missiles, which led many to believe interceptors were obsolete.  The Avro Arrow was ultimately cancelled with all completed planes and blueprints destroyed.  Thirty-one of the engineers went on to work for NASA and the Apollo program while others went to work for NASA contractors.

The word "crisp" starts in the back of your mouth, and moves towards the front.  Try it, it's fun.

Of course.  It was built as a life boat for the former inhabitants of Mars.  Dave Noorie and Dick Hoagland learned me real good.

It's actually hollow and an alien spaceship that came from a place far far away...David Icke has 'vidence. Hoagland is just hitching his wagon to the  great troof.

The saying about cats having nine lives, relates to them falling from heights that would seemingly kill them. A cat (a healthy one, not an overweight overfed one) dropped from above about six feet will spin round to be feet down. That isn't the only reason it doesn't get killed. It doesn't exceed it's terminal velocity (The way humans do if they fall from high windows) so won't get killed.

If you can't kill a cat by dropping it, you're not trying hard enough.

They also turn their bodies into little rudimentary parachutes by arching their backs.  It doesn't slow them down much, but apparently it's enough to help them land without serious injury from reasonable heights.

I just skimmed the night before the exam.  I guess I got my extraterrestrial migration histories a little crossed up.

I thought it was built for that big crystal dome (I think it's an opera house, personally).

The oceanic pole of inaccessibility, a.k.a. "Point Nemo", is the point in the ocean farthest from any land.  It's at coordinate 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W in the South Pacific Ocean.  If you visit, you’ll be in the middle of over 22 million square km of ocean, an area larger than the entire former Soviet Union.

This sentence pretty much sums up The Human Condition.

"Soaking" is a practice used by some young Mormons to have premarital sex without pissing off God.  It goes like this: the dude "soaks" his pecker inside the chick without moving, because it's the motion that makes it a sin.

This has to be a choice.  Mormons have their special super-painful underwear welded to their junk until marriage.

Surprisingly more sharks are killed by coconuts.

George Burns and Larry Hagman both appeared in Ellery Queen Whodunnit...Ellery's father, a police inspector, never solved a murder. So how the hell did he get promoted? I need answers.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Coconuts kill more people than sharks.

Of course coconuts kill more people than sharks.  Sharks don't spend much time under coconut trees so they don't get killed as often.

See what I did there?
