Unliftable

Does anybody know the secret behind this magic trick:� Mind Over Matter - 100 lbs and Unliftable!

From competitors for the "World's Strongest Man" to a 10 time world champion power lifter, it has proven to be virtually impossible to lift Sue when she imposes her will to be immovable. The comedic impact and indescribable nature of this demonstration leaves the audience howling with laughter and plagued with curiosity afterward. Invariably, skeptical speculators devise the most outrageous theories in an attempt to comprehend this mysterious power.

This is one of Brian & Sue's signature pieces and has been responsible for exacerbating their already substantial reputation.

Top 10 Favorite Words

Merriam-Webster's Top 10 Favorite Words for 2004.

Your challenge: Write a paragraph that uses all ten words (and makes sense). Here's my attempt:

During my life, I've met a plethora of flibbertigibbets. Often, my first reaction is to attempt defenestration, destroying any calipygian characteristics that person may have had. But such an action would invariably cause a kerfuffle. Humans are a persnickety bunch. They don't care to see body parts juxtaposed on the pavement, especially when accompanied by an onomatopoeic kapow. If the person were a murderer, my action could be serendipitous, saving the time and expense of a trial. But it would also cause many to be discombobulated, and I'd likely end up in jail.

Enter a subject and this page tells you what that is ... umm... I guess you'd better just try it out :) Note that the results are not randomly generated in any way! Take your time to browse the results and you might be surprised how accurate this thing can be.

Accurate indeed. For example, here are a few answers to the question, What is J-Walk?

At first, I thought this was the same as the Googlism site. But it's not. I found that it will often return an answer for questions that Googlism can't answer. A few more:

  • Curtis is the man of the moment.
  • Firq is correct.
  • Rance is just a wrong jerk.
  • Rene is suddenly even more popular.
  • Righteously Indignant is number 723 with a bullet.
