thimgs you learn from little kids

Postby Krum » Monday 22 September 2003 12:45:39pm

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough
to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing pound puppy underwear and a supermancape.
It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by
20-foot room.
When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's already toolate.
Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
A six-year-old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year
old man says they can only do it in the movies.
If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball shoes it does
not leak--it explodes.
A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot house 4
inches deep.Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four-year-old.
Super glue is forever.McGyver can teach us many things we don't want to know.
No matter how much Jello you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk
on water.Pool filters do not like Jello.
VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
Always look in the oven before you turn it on.
The fire department in San Jose has at least a 5-minute response time.
The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
It will, however, make cats dizzy.
Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

It's true.We can learn lots of useful stuff from them :lol:

lol

im wondering how a cat can throw up twice its body weight...cos where does it all come from....inside the cat, so in theory the cat has to weigh at least the same or more than the sick it throws up when dizzy.....

that also reminds me of my stint of a summer camp worker, and it also reminds me of the time when a teacher at my middle school left her cat outside in the winter so it was all frozen stiff, so she put the cat in the microwave to warm up. Obviously the poor kitty couldn't take the microwaves and blew up. I am not sure if this is just a stupid SMS urban legend or the real thing but it is a great ice breaker, in more ways than one...muhahahaha...

And for the record I DO NOT endorse the animal mistreatment, torture, or slaughter...I am just telling the story.
