“I had a high school student ask me why he didn’t die in his sleep because he wasn’t awake to remember to breathe.”

"He went up to the table, grabbed a few things, and sat back down to wait. When it came time to throw, it turned out that his 'airplane' was a piece of paper wrapped around the stapler. While the lighter (and more complex) planes drifted to the side and landed early or hit the hallway walls, Tim's 'plane' slammed straight into the door on the other end of the hall, with a satisfying clunk. Tim's ridiculous creation beat everyone else's and won the contest easily, while technically obeying the rules of the competition. I hope that guy ends up working for NASA."
