    The government really does believe that by exposing people to high levels of gamma radiation they will, eventually be able to effect an anger based transformation, similar to the Incredible Hulk. This is why airliners fly so high in the atmosphere, to increase the gamma dose that passengers receive. It also explains why the TSA is being allowed to behave as such asshats: They're trying to make sure that all passengers are in the proper state of mind for the best effect from the gamma rays.

    Swapping spit with a donkey at midnight on the longest day of the year, will ensure no ill-fortune will befall you for as long as the donkey lives; hence it is advised to catch the donkey at a ripe, young age, or have a good supply of donkeys.

    Well this is true, but it is true of almost any liquid actually as long as you believe in it and make the proper ritual gestures.

    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    That's a dirty damned lie! Masturbation is used all the time in nursing homes as a palliative treatment for heart disease.

    Seeing a bat by the light of a full moon means that any children you may have will be born blind.

    Don't be alarmed though; if you catch the bat, remove the wings and wear them as ear-rings for a month, your genes wont be affected.
