6. Yes, but it's a secret as well.

2. It's not all it's cracked up to be...
For instance, I can't open a liter pop bottle without spraying it all over the place.

22. I would be happy to mow your lawn
Just as soon as my left hip stops barking at me for having rearranged the furniture in my guest room yesterday (yes, I know, I should ask for help, but I gets me a bee in my bonnet and it has to be done NOW.)

27. It's not all that useful...
My superhuman strength only works when I try to lift super-heavy imaginary objects.

35. I prefer polynomials!
Edited on Wed Jun-13-07 01:53 PM by DuStrange
I have a friend who's a polynomial: x3. He dropped by yesterday and said, "Hey, what are you up to?"
And I said, "Whoa! What's with the third degree?"

But Science marches on.
