You can a make the best move in the world but they can knock over all the pieces, take a shit in the middle of the board and stand there triumphantly.

1. Yep

The original form (I think):

Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory. - Scott D. Weitzenhoffer

6. So, if I climb on a really high ladder...

... I will burn to death during daytime and freeze to death during nighttime?

10. Ha!!111! I found it on one of those lists of stupid shit people post on Facebook.

Sadly, I have met people like this.

13. ** Fact- Kepler's Third Law ...

... says that liar is a ... er... ignorant liar. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%27s_laws_of_planetary_motion#Third_law)

But in modern astrophysics habital zone is a more quantifiable and far more generalizable concept. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitable_zone
