After spending hours cleaning her room the day before, Emily woke up to find a new list with escalating demands. Do your homework. Study for the test. Help mom wash the dishes. No matter how hard Emily tried to satisfy the Tooth Fairy's demand, the night always bring a new letter with a new demand.

Life lesson here: Never appease terrorists and tooth fairies.

Wow that's an amazing cover up. Cover up's are really hard for tattoo artists, and in this particular case, he nailed it! I don't even know how he did it! That's amazing...

Versago is, perhaps, the greatest artist ever featured on this site. It is one thing to create beauty from scratch. Retouching something horrid into this success is humbling.

Wow... it just breaks away so easily. o_O

**wipes away tears of laughter** Oh man, that was funny and I hadn't had my first cup of coffee yet... so thanks for that. I wonder what setting she had on that curling iron? Like Tori, I have lots of fine textured hair. My iron goes up to 25; I have it set on 5. When I last bought a curling iron, I asked the women in the beauty supply place why the irons had such high settings; they said the higher settings were for women with more coarse hair; they needed the heat to penetrate. I have burned my face and scalp many times on just a 5 setting and I'm slow to heal. Why do women continue to do these things to themselves?

I admired her composure... I think she may have a future in comedy.

So while it is not in the spirit of such brain teasers and it is already known clowns violate the laws of physics with their little cars, I found thinking about the answer to the clown juggling the bricks a bit amusing:

Assuming you have a bridge that fails at exactly 150 pounds of force, and that we can ignore that when walking you create forces on the ground greater than your weight (maybe the clown is riding an ultra-light weight unicycle), you still need a force to throw a brick in the air. If you have 2 pounds of force to work with, you can fling a one pound brick upward with the same acceleration as it would normally fall down with, which means no matter how high you throw, it would spend as much time in your hands as in the air (and would require long, long arms to throw really high). So with perfect coordination and timing, you could juggle two such bricks, but would not have any spare time or force to throw a third.

Now this ignores air resistance, as for a dense gold brick, it would be pretty small effect, and symmetry of the brick means it would be about the same on both the way up and down. Although if one were to hammer it into a flat sheet (stopping before reaching gold leaf... as for 1 lb that would be a square 40 ft to a side), you could fold it into something like a paper airplane though that can be thrown up quickly, but takes a long time to fall. But if you are going to do that, you can easily just make the gold into a wire long enough such that less than half of it is on the bridge at any given time while dragging behind you, assuming it doesn't just fly like a kite in a breeze.

My preferred solution though: Rip the sign off the bridge and hope that the sign weighed more than a pound.

The cutest thing I've seen in a long time. Brilliant & funny.

the answer for #5 wouldn't work because throwing the object up creates an equal but opposite force on the clown pushing him down on the bridge

Excellent shot. Without the explanation, I'd be really confused by the rock.

Heh great illusion. Even knowing that the rock is in water, my brain still wants to see it as floating in air.

but miss, there needs to be credit given where credits due. if an animal bit me i'd be offended if it found me inedible

The CPS not having a sense of humor? That's a-paw-ling!

Didn't we use to call this the Fail meme? Or perhaps we should just say: "Fail meme, you had one job. To keep track of all these shenanigans, and you blew it. Now we've got to track 'em under a different meme."
