Yes, friends, males are amused by, and will go to great lengths to impress other males by practicing, just this sort of thing. If not for us, the "funniest/amazing video" shows would not exist.

One time a buddy and I practiced a two man, juggling bayonets trick. Cost us a little nick here and there and some loss of blood (I got four stitches); but when it was perfected, we got oohs and aahs from the other guys. Impressing them was the goal.

That, and the free beer we won in bets from others.

Think up a useless but impressive thing to do, practice until you get it right, and increase your status in the group thereby.

Men never really grow up all the way.

I've got to be that poster but technically Flacko just broke the laws of physics. What is really strange is that this isn't the first time that this issue came up this weekend.

I kid, I kid.

But look, does it still break the law of physics if the apex of his diving arc was 20" higher than the fridge itself? Flaco's a jumper, remember.

Hey! Congrats on being that guy! And on a first-time post, no less! :)

Besides, he has the "Thwap!" to make up any difference.

Evidently, it's time for another lesson in the laws of "cartoon physics".

In real life physics, An object's momentum is its mass multiplied by its velocity: momentum equals mass times velocity. Momentum, is effected by factors such as weight, rate of fall, projection, direction and in cartoon physics, is also affected by the force of "funny".

If A is mass of Lizard, B is hight of fridge, C is speed of fall, then the force of funny will be factored by D, cooking spray, E depth of bowl and F, smug lizard face, this will give us the force of the (equal and opposite + added velocity) reaction up. Then the equation looks like this:

B + (A x C) = B+AC

(D x 3) x (E x 3.14) x F = 3DF(Ex3.14)

B+AC x 3DF(Ex3.14) = Fwoop

Fwoop being a greater reaction than initial velocity, and the result is Daaaaaang!

This reply is so full of awesome I think I got some on my shirt...
