A friend of mine (currently at SUNY @ Buffalo) taught Physics and was
annoyed by the standard physics labs.  He felt that all they taught
people was how to use lab instruments as the conclusions were known
before you started the lab.  To combat this he told his class that
the next day they were going to view a special "science" film.  It
described an alternate universe that had different physics laws then
ours.  The students were to observe the film and write down the laws
of this universe and give examples to back up these laws of Physics.

Well the next day came, the students were curious and somewhat prepared.
Then the "special science filem" was run.  It contained THREE cartoons
(one Road Runner and two Woody Woodpeckers).  My favorite law that a
student came up with:

		NOTHING BAD WILL EVER HAPPEN TO YOU, UNTIL YOU KNOW
		ABOUT IT.

(the gun NEVER goes off until the coyte looks at it, he never falls
until he realize there is no ledge, etc).


		Not funny, but sortof kindof interesting,
