# you make black boxes...

You want something to really twist your mind. The black boxes are not actually black. They are bright orange.

... go fig! :P

# supprised no-ones firured this one out yet...
i saw this thing on tv where a girl wraped an egg in bubble wrap, dropped it from her (ground floor admittadly) window , and it survived !!!
Why don't they wrap planes in bubble wrap ???!!!1 (incase they crash)

# well
i challenge you to take an egg and take the two ends squarely in each of your palms

and try to crush it by applying force to both ends, kind of like cracking a walnut with your palms

it can't be done

if you do break it, you're not doing it right (that's snobbish but true)
