  1. “I say, old bean — the reactor appears to be on fire<\/a>” — a line probably not heard during the Windscale Disaster in 1957.<\/li>\n
  2. Divinely designed churches<\/a>.  Some of these are just amazing.<\/li>\n
  3. It is, indeed, possible for a plan to work too <\/em>well<\/a>.  That seems to be most true with plans (like the turkey one mentioned here) to introduce animals or plants to areas.<\/li>\n
  4. Seriously … creepy … ads<\/a>.  I think the one with the pig is the funniest<\/strike> creepiest.<\/li>\n

  6. I did not know they still made Moxie<\/a>.  Next time I have a friend heading off to the Northeast, I might bug them to pick up a can, just out of curiosity.<\/li>\n
  7. Um … don’t jump up too high during that volleyball tournament on Maho Beach.  You might lose the ball (or your hand) to a 747 passing overhead<\/a> …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
