One many of have found to be extremely valid :

Any tool tossed/thrown in anger will find the most expensive, hardest to replace component to impact on... usually to great detriment of the component.

It's widely know that young men's brains are heavier than old men's brains, mainly because that young men's brains are so full of useless $hit.

Champagne fizzes because of dirt, not carbon dioxide. In a completely smooth clean glass, carbon dioxide molecules would evaporate invisibly. It's the dirt/dust/lint in the glass that acts as a condensation nuclei for the dissolved carbon dioxide.

Tom Petty don't know nothing about "free falling."

In 1944, Flight Sergeant Nicholas Alkemade, an RAF tailgunner, fell about 19,000 feet from his burning Lancaster bomber . . . his fall broken by a pine tree and snow bank . . . and his worst injury was a sprained ankle. The Germans who captured him were impressed.

In 1972, Vesna Vulovic fell 34,777 feet when a terrorist bomb destroyed the DC-10 Yugoslavian Airlines jet. She suffered two broken legs and spinal injuries but was saved by the fact that her seat and the toilet booth it was attached to took the impact.
