  2.  @tokensharma3738  Isadore Rabi at one point took that notion seriously and asked (something like) "If a single particle can go zipping along without inhibition, why shouldn't an ordinary clay brick just jump up in the air?" Then he did the math. One problem is that in a clay brick there are a whole lot of particles zipping around in different directions, so they cancel each other out. Thre's a bit of vibration going on -- the temperature, see -- but you don't get more than a very few close to each other heading in the same direction at the same time. And all of them? Wey-yull, let us calculate... Turns out that with reasonable assumptions all the particles in the brick are going to get together and head in the same direction just by chance, uh, every now and then. Rabi's informed guess is, a normal ceramic brick, like what you buld a house with, will jump one foot in the air, quite spontaneously, roughly once in every ten-to-the-sixty-fourth-power -- 10^64 -- times the age of the Universe. Plus or minus, obviously.

  4. Warning: Take Care! The Antonov AN-255 weighs the same amount as eighteen African elephants, but they have lost track of which eighteen. If you have an African elephant in your possession, take care that it not come to public attention, or the Antonov people may seize it the next time they need to check the weight of their plane.

  5. But to say that even a small carrier could sink and nobody know where and what it was is ridiculous. These Drain The Oceans folks are just making up nonsense off the tops of their heads. Shoddy, sensationalist, stoopidity.

  6. None of these15,000-in-a-year horror-stories takes account of the fact that on average half the babies will be male.

  7. "Mysterious flying objects." Well, at least we can stop calling them "unidentified" and retire that tired old "UFO" thingie. We've clearly identified them as Mysterious flying objects. But can we truly say that they're flying after they've gone? I mean they could be docked in their mother ship, parked in a haystack while they make love to convenient farm girls, or who knows what all...

  8. Calling something the best of anything on YouTube is damnation by faint praise.
