Did you know that when you turn on a flashlight, there is some recoil? The photons exit the flashlight at the speed of light, (really fast!) and since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, there is a recoil.

This is a true story, that I first heard about while reading "The Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel.

In 1995, New Mexico state senator Duncan Scott, suggested this amendment to state statutes:

When a psychologist or psychiatrist testifies during a defendant's competency hearing, the psychologist or psychiatrist shall wear a cone-shaped hat that is not less than two feet tall. The surface of the hat shall be imprinted with stars and lightning bolts. Additionally, a psychologist or psychiatrist shall be required to don a white beard that is not less than 18 inches in length, and shall punctuate crucial elements of his testimony by stabbing the air with a wand. Whenever a psychologist or psychiatrist provides expert testimony regarding a defendant's competency, the bailiff shall contemporaneously dim the courtroom lights and administer two strikes to a Chinese gong.

I just thought this was interesting. It made it all the way to the House of Representatives.
