I've always liked this one:


One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

if midichlorian = mitochondria,
and black people have high mitochondria count (jump high, run fast)

then black people = jedi

X = .9999999...
10*X = 9.9999999....

10*X - X = 9.99999.... - .999999...
9*X = 9
X= 1

therefore

X =1 and X = 0.999999...

so

0.99999999... = 1

X =40
10*X = 400

10*X-X = 400-40
360X = 360
X = 1

therefore X = 1 and X = 40

so

40 = 1

(You can see from this exaggeration why your previous answer is false)

No, I don't see why the previous answer is false from your exaggeration.

Assuming you were able to construct a turntable large enough to hold a helicopter and fast enough to match the rotor speed, could you prevent the helicopter from taking off?

Of course; just shoot the pilot.

Assuming you were able to construct a turntable large enough and that spun fast enough such that the linear velocity of the outer edge approached the speed of light, would the outside edge age more slowly than the center? Would you be able to move rapidly forward in time by walking toward the edge and back? How would a record played on such a turntable sound to a fixed observer hovering above the center?
