Grand Prize Winner:
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always
lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of

array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

Runners-up:

Hugh Downs’ Four Rules for Investigating the Universe: Rule 1 - When confronted with an apparent infinite or infinitely repeating pattern, expect some variant that keeps it from being infinite. Rule 2 - When all investigation supports Rule 1, look for a situation which violates it. Rule 3 - Be prepared for an infinite oscillation between Rules 1 and 2. Rule 4 - Apply Rule 1. Drew’s Law of Highway Biology: The first bug to hit a clean windshield lands directly in front of your eyes. Ducharme’s Axiom: If you view your problem closely enough you will recognize yourself as part of the problem. Ducharme’s Precept: Opportunity always knocks at the least opportune moment. Emersons’ Law of Contrariness: Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can. Having found them, we shall then hate them for it. Estridge’s Law: No matter how large and standardized the marketplace is, IBM can redefine it. Fett’s Law: Never replicate a successful experiment.

Without hesitating, the dean selects infinite wisdom."Done!" says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning. Now, all heads turn toward the dean, who sits surrounded by a faint halo of light. At length, one of his colleagues whispers, "Say something."The dean sighs and says, "I should have taken the money."
