The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is really an anagram devised by Newton, revealing where he kept his wig powder (I'm not telling).

If you take a thin quartz rod and insert it through a small ferrite core, then wind the combination with helices of bright copper wire in opposite directions, Martha Stewart will grab it and use it as a Christmas Tree ornament.

BTW, how do others mark their monitors?

Sea otters mark their monitors using a small scent gland behind their left ear. The field studies on river otters are less extensive (most were done before the wide spread availability of inexpensive flat screen monitors), but based on some data with an old EGA monitor, it would appear that river otters do a similar sort of marking, but the scent gland is on their foot.

I have no data on others.

A questionnaire sent to 12,853 subscribers to Modern Bride magazine indicated that the number one reason for canceling weddings was "bad mojo". Number 2 was "flower wilting", followed closely by "groomlessness".

Ironically, elderly otters in Oregon and New Jersey grumble about not being allowed to pump their own gas. Nearly 0.5% of the bail bonds issued in those states involve bailing otters out of jail after altercations with gas station attendants.

The first attempt to bring the great novel “Principia” to the big screen was attempted by the great Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa, in 1954. It featured the epic battle between Newton and Leibniz and their various university friends and supporters. Unfortunately, the film was not successful in English-speaking countries because all the math had been removed from the distributed copies of the film, Kurosawa had made it as a Japanese “Western”, and it had inadvertently been dubbed in Spanish rather than English. Here’s a scene of Newton getting really angry about something Leibniz said about him:

Another little-known fact: The Japanese word “samurai” originally meant “physicist” in English.

Whales have invisible feet. This was confirmed by Robert Ballard using the remote submersible Lil' Peekie, which recorded a blue whale diving below 2,500 feet with twelve foot long socks on either side of its hips, approximately four feet from the body.

Japanese whale researchers immediately harpooned the whale to confirm the discovery. In a paper in Nature, the authors all agreed the whale was delicious.

The editors of the Los Angeles Time appologize for a typographical error in the July 14, 2008 issue. On page 27, column 3, paragraph 4, the second sentence should read "wombat hair", not "economic forecast". We are sorry for any misunderstanding.

There actually is a Santa Claus. Mr. Santa Claus lives at 602-10 E 23rd street in Queens, New York. His parents were Fred and Barbara Claus and had a fine sense of humor. Mr. Claus is very slim and has a red-brown handlebar mustache. Ironically, he has worked as the Easter Bunny during several of E.J. Korvette's annual Easter day "Sale-e-brations".
