As a New Jersey resident, I feel compelled to cut off other drivers
whenever and wherever possible.  But when I see a car with "Live Free

I think in most countries this is theft. I.e. the money is not yours, if
you take it you are stealing it. I can't imagine a legal system that would
all improperly protected property to enter the public domain. The next
step would be that it is perfectly legal to simply drive off in any car
where the driver had left the keys on the dashboard.

Oh yeah?  Security in "Star Trek" meant "put on a red shirt, stand next to 
the door, and stare straight ahead until one of the bad guys karate chops your 
neck".  At least Dr. Smith was a *stowaway* -- he didn't take over the ship

This sounds like a permutation of the wax tadpole UL/factoid/true story.

To review:

When Coca Cola began marketing in the People's Republic of China, they
selected a series of Chinese syllables that sounded close to "koh kah koh
lah," but later discovered that the syllables meant "bite the wax tadpole."
They then selected another sequence of syllables that meant "the mouth
rejoices."

Does anyone know whether this is a UL or TRUE STORY(TM)?

As I remember it, a film company bought the rights to Casino Royale
and held onto it for awhile. Another film company bought the rights
to Dr. No and made the first film. The first company decided to
make a parody out of Casino Royale.

Well, Dr. No isn't in Roger Ebert's 1992 Video Home Companion, but
I'm pretty sure that _Casino Royale_ (The movie) came before any of
the other Bond movies, and was therefore not a parody of them, but a
parody of the books.

I heard this one earlier in the year.

A freind of mine doing a course was told (quite seriously) that

  six months following their birthday... "

Let me see, this means the other 50 percent do it within the six months
leading upto their birthday... go figure !

Both were funnier formerly than they are now. Winters at his peak
was the funniest stand-up comic to ever turn a plumbers
