So it's a conventional dagger, like conventional current?

An unidentified thief from within our company stole the thesaurus from our library. We are taken aback, stunned, stupefied, confused, flabbergasted and bewildered how someone could do this.

A farmer, desperately in need of rain for his crops had been looking forward to a predicted storm. However, when the storm was supposed to arrive, there was nothing more than fog. The farmer yelled at the cloud, "You were supposed to be rain! Didn't you get the memo?" The fog replied back, "Mist that".

The farmer should have performed a rain dance. They are surprisingly effective: A 100% success rate! And they are so easy to do as well. You dance until it rains.

It's like my elephant-repellant powder that I scatter around the house every day. No elephant comes near the place.

It might exceed lifetime to achieve 100%: Atacama.

Maybe the Atacama is dry because of all the people doing rain dances everywhere else pulling the rain away. I mean, the vast majority of humans live where there's reasonably ready access to water. That can't be a coincidence.

How do we know someone tried long enough? I haven't heard of anyone reporting how they died trying.

Do not reverse the burden of proof! I only mentioned evidence that your statement might fail, regardless whether one has tried or not. This develops into one of our QM threads: does the photon choose a slit if not observed?

God plays dice to decide the photon's fate. Sorry, Einstein!
Corollary: god must be omnipotent.

It has been observed that multiple bozones can overlap, creating a Bozo condensate at low intellectual energy.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
By that time, you'll be a mile away, and you have his shoes, so you can say anything you want about him...

The Möbius-Klein duck's favourite song is a version of Dem Bones:

Head bone's connected to the tailbone...

My pirate friend's rather obese parrot sadly died recently.
I asked how he was feeling.
"Arrrr, it's a huge weight off my shoulders."
