Proves nothing.  Which never stops the konspiracy ko0ks.  Ever heard
of Occam's Razor?

Occam's Razor is used to trim the fat off of scientific theories.

Bullshit. It is, to paraphrase, to favour the simpler explanation, all
things being equal.

Surrrrrrrre it is kookman,

look up the definition of "parsimony".

The most useful statement of the principle for scientists is,

"when you have two competing theories which make exactly the same
predictions, the one that is simpler is the better."

1. theories aren't facts

2. you have to prove /your/ "simpler/better" theory correct, now.

Abraham Lincoln was a bonehead
he shouldla turned around 
and punched John Wilkes Booth
in the eye.

But I guess he preferred 
to watcha stupid ass play
with some guy dressed up as a tree
in it.

How the hell did he win the civil war
and build a log cabin
with his bare hands
(as the legend says)? 

He didn't even have the instinct 
to know he was about to get shot from behind:
I hope the next president won't be enshrined
he's got two eyes in the back of his head instead of

two holes...      [realer - by Feller Quentin and "the latter"]

"I get a summons to appear for jury duty.
I did this once before in Philly. Their policy was "One trial or one day" and
they wouldn't bother you after that.
I get my ass up on Friday (my day off) at 6am so I could be sure not to get
there late and have to go through this ordeal again. Turns out it's a capital
murder trial and is expected to last several weeks. This is not exactly an
appealing prospect, so at break, I hustle to a liquor store and snag one of
those sample whiskies and gargle it for about 30 seconds or so and use the
little bit on the bottom for aftershave.  Got my ass out of there in record
time. " - Cujo shares a crafty scheme to get out of jury duty and present
yourself to the court as an irresponsible drunk all at the same time in
