Yeah, but what about in other star systems? The Earth's been radiating 
"I Love Lucy" for decades.  The first signals are 40 lightyears out by now and 
maybe still readable.  When Lucy leaves the airwaves here (briefly), who's
to say someone's still receiving it out near Beta Centauri? 

Put that way, the subject should really be "I Love Lucy Forever, and ever, 
and ever...."

Where were clocks invented/first used?  Somewhere in Europe, pretty far north.
The sun has more of a clockwise motion as it moves across the sky when you're
pretty far north.  The extreme case of this is above the Arctic Circle in "the
land of the Midnight Sun" with the sun circling clockwise during the summer
rather than setting.

Results could be fatal!  There have also been some studies that suggest that

(maybe because of phenylalanine), but none of these have been proven yet.

Er, that would be Rod Stewart, Beverly.

Anyhow, I heard the same story about an anonymous Dean's daughter at
an apocryphal fraternity party many years ago.  She only needed to
have her stomach pumped, though.

I've also heard that the average male orgasm was quite digestible, high
in protein, and possessed of only 26 wriggling calories.

On a similar principle, there is an old party trick of boiling
water in a calling card held over a lit match.  You fold up
the edges of the card, put a little water in it, and hold it
over a flame.  

I know this works because I tried it when I was 12 years old

Somewhere I read about a famous scientist who was engaged as a tutor for
some famous prince. (Sorry, the names escape me.  Any historians of science
out there?)  

The scientist taught the lad the scientific explanation for
why pouring molten lead in your hand wouldn't burn your hand--something
about a vapor layer (don't try this at home, kiddies!)--whereupon the
prince said "Show me!"  That being a royal command, the scientist
reluctantly undertook the experiment, and having survived unharmed no
doubt promptly resigned the position.

ObFact:  My ninth-grade science teacher, Mrs. Gregory, had a major scar
on her palm.  The story was that some phosphorus popped onto the lab
table and ignited and she had swept it off the table with her hand.  The
phosphorus stuck to her palm and continued to burn. Yeeouch!

But how do you *really* feel about it, Robert?

Personally, I'd agree that it's probably fantasy (kind of like "killer Ninja"
tricks that people all presuppose are true).  Remember, though, that you're
not discussing modern "kill 'em all" warfare.  The tactics are different.  If
you're a harrier, your mission is to delay and harass the enemy in order to
allow time for your reinforcements to arrive.  In this era, when reloading can
take up to 1 minute (depends on level of skill and how fast you're running)
a small group of harriers wants to fire 1 or 2 volleys and leave.  Rapidly.
The idea is hide, wait till they're in range, fire, and run like hell.  If 
there is a chance that rubbing garlic on a round or two will have the effect
we're debating, why not try it?  It may be that:

a)  the garlic, in itself, really did have that effect (probability low)
b)  the garlic reacted with the powder or lead to produce some other toxin
    (purely speculative)
c)  the act of rubbing the garlic onto the ball (using dirty hands, maybe
    including some grime & bacteria during the process) made the wound that
    much more septic, causing infection and producing the desired result
    (again purely speculative, but maybe more likely than the rest).

If you're sitting around out in the wilderness waiting for the enemy to
arrive, there may not be much to do.  If you've heard that this trick works,
why not try it?  Think of it as the Colonial equivalent of putting your metal
shaving mirror in your left breast pocket because you "heard" that someone was
saved by said mirror stopping the bullet that "had their name on it."

In his book _5000 B.C._ (do I have the number right?) Raymond
Smullyan tells the story of a philosopher who has a dream in
which he meets various great philosophers of the past and somehow
refutes everything they say with one simple utterance.  He 
realizes that he has discovered a universal refutation for
any philosophy; he therefore wakes up in a state of great
excitement, writes it down, and goes back to sleep.  The next
morning, he reads what he's written, and it's

"That's what *you* say!"

 Yes, and never mind the cited articles written by career linguists who have

 why this claim is balderdash.  If the evidence doesn't fit your theory, just
 ignore it.  You can "prove" anything that way.

The procedure does indeed exist, but it's not universal.

When I was in the Coast Guard, I got my C-130 flight engineer training
from the Air Force, since the USCG doesn't have the budget or facilities
to offer its own program.  The training was given by MAC (Military Airlift
Command), which until the recent USAF restructuring, was the major command
that operated the Air Force's transport aircraft.  One of the units in the 
syllabus had to do with hijacking.

One of the things we were taught was that on an Air Force base, leaving
the aircraft's flaps down after clearing the active runway was a discreet
signal to the tower that a hijacking was in progress, and that armed 
intervention was requested.  I don't know whether this is the case at Naval
or Marine air stations as well, though, which is kind of strange because 
my unit was a tenant command at a Naval air station.  

I'm certain that this procedure isn't common in the world of commercial
aviation, because it's not at all unusual to see airliners off the active
with their flaps down.
