Now if it will only "let the cat out of the bag" there is probably a "Nobel" in it for him.

We don't know. Some fool locked it in a box and lost the key.

I understand the cat is perfectly safe as long as no one observes it. :wink:

EDIT: A few seconds after I posted this picture I had the thought that it's not entirely accurate to claim that the stars and planets does not affect lives. They do, just not in a direct physical sense. The stars and planets obviously psychologically affects in some way those who practice and believe in astrology... :wink:

... plus a moon but hopefully no other strays. And the issue about Nemesis isn't decided yet.

We should also include science/math pick-up lines

Genius, whoever made this. :oldlaugh:
It is stated in the source that the original is in Danish, and that there was a mistranslation. It's octopus, not squid. Still, I laughed when they pointed it out in the comments.

There is another joke which became viral in the 90's with the internet getting more and more popular.

Americans: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision."
Canadians: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision."
Americans: "This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."
Canadians: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course."
Americans: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP."
Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

Usually it's been commentated as being 'real'. Actually the joke dates back to the 30's and whether it's real or not cannot be said anymore. Someone once replied to an anecdote I told him: "I doubt it's true. However, the point is: It could be true."
