The Gargoyle Letters

One day my friend Chris mentioned casually in an email that he was
having problems with his home owner's association. As he explained the trouble I found myself laughing hysterically, and begged him to send me the correspondence. And thus was born an internet classic.

People In Newspaper Ads Who Look Like They're Farting


A traditionalist, Richard prefers the "tilting to one side" method. When it comes to farting, Richard doesn&'t subscribe to the Flashy New Ways. He likes to keep it simple and real, out of respect for the past masters.




While walking to his car Robert pauses and discretely lifts the heel of one foot, just enough to break the seal, then lets loose with a low rumbler. Robert appreciates the cathedral-like acoustics of the parking garage.

Humans would survive in space vacuum

Explosive decompression

Fallacies

Misunderstandings of the meaning of the words are quite likely to be a fueling factor for a persistent myth that humans would explode if exposed to the non-pressure of space. Accidents in space exploration research and high-altitude aviation have shown that while vacuum exposure causes swelling, human skin is tough enough to handle a drop of one atm. A sudden drop of eight atm in the Byford Dolphin accident had intensely fatal results.
