Have you ever wondered why they call it the Secret Service, when everybody knows it exists? Something to think about. ;)

Because they can.

Because "the well-known service" just doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Have you ever wondered why toast always falls butter side down?

Or why cats always land on their feet?

Perhaps one day we should see what happens if we tied a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat... ;)

Why do I get the bad feeling that I've already heard that one?

I think if we did that, the cat and toast would hover a few inches above the ground, and we will have discovered a way to defy gravity. We'll have cars outfitted with buttered-toast-cat (BTC) anti-gravity engines. If you need to go up, you just strap some more toast onto the cat. If you need to go down, either remove some toast or add some more cats! :crazyeye:

Have you ever wondered why it is that Murphy's Law is just so darn correct? I mean, it ALWAYS is happening, the worst thing that can happen will happen.

The Secret Service (SS) is actually just a government body ready to exterminate all who oppose the government. They wanted to make it somewhat obvious what they were doing, just not totally obvious. That's why they don't all wear military uniforms with the armband saluting and everything.

Why do keep talking about the education value of the Internet when most of it is just porn, hate sites and losers on message boards and blogs:p?

No, I don't remember it from Turner_727's sig... but, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that it makes a good custom status!

You forgot to mention sites without any point, created by people with far too much spare time.;)
