The bear doesn't use anything, instead he goes over to Goldilock's house and sits on all of the chairs before deciding on a chair that he likes.

I believe the real problem is finding the defining moment between passing and staying. It only takes an instant to pass, but it takes slightly more than an instant to stay. Tresstayantial calulus is a branch of mathematics devoted entirely to this problem. However, few people study Tresstayantial calulus (T.C.) anymore because so many of it's proofs can only be accurately demonstrated with the use of a three-dimensional abacus, and by hopping up and down on one leg shouting "a-hoy! hoy! hoy! hoy!" Few advanced students ever committed to the rigors of the proofs of the subject and failed to give deliver convincing dissertations, falling victim to a similar kind of stifling shame one feels when ordering the rooty-tooty-fresh-and-fruity breakfast at IHOP.
So many people are working on a Theory of Everything these days. How come someone isn't working on a Theory of Nothing?

If there was no such thing as fuses your wiring would be made out of one solid reliable piece of wire, and you would never have the joy of being stranded in the middle of the desert at 3AM trying to use a Wrigley's Gum wrapper to bridge the gap to start your motor.The Bob said:

No since that is just an arbitrary name given the show, and its popularity is independent of its name. Realistically, some people out there do infact love the show, so that just means: NOT everybody loves "everybody loves raymond"
If i produced a device which negated the effect of the Earth's gravity on a particular object, it would initially remain stationary relative to the Earth and us, as it would possesses the velocity of the Earth at the moment the device was activated, but since the Earth is spinning on its axis and following a circular orbit around the sun, wouldn't the object (relative to us) start 'flying away' ??
(assuming air resistance is negligible...but if it wasnt negligible and the Earth was moving in a straight line, without spinning, wouldn't the object appear to accelerate as it experienced the resistive forces of the atmosphere? (since it is no longer anchored by gravity?)
...you know i thought this was trying to do a dumb question, but i think i got too into it...
anyway just incase here's a dumb(er) question: would an object approaching the speed of light, as its mass appoached infinty, produce a gravitational field in proportion to its increasing mass??

You are a prisoner in your mind, it is making you think gravity exists. Humans just made it up because we want to climb out of the pit the Earth actually is.

Hmmm you said it was a small dog, just take it back. Hurting it solves nothing, though do make aggressive gestures and sounds to make sure he never does it again. If the small dog in question was a genetically enhanced fox terrier, just start with the onsies again and forget about my secret project...i mean "WATCHOUT! A BIRD! QUICK SHOW THEM YOUR NIPPLES!" (if you are a guy ofcourse)

Not very well. the footprints in the butter always seem to give them away.
Would taping a cat to a slice of buttered toast be an effective solution to the worlds energy problems, or would there be problems? (working on the pinciple that a cat always lands on its feet, buttered toast always lands buttered side down, so the two together would result in a perpetual spinning motion as the two fight it out)
