damontCT7 found this one re: airport security. It is *definitely* rated NSFW!!! -- http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/notices.php?notice=060822-ASP-EN

filkertom found this one on Mark Evanier's blog. It's a YouTube (in case you discover you can't see it). Stuff like this, you can't make up (or Photoshop): just another piece of evidence that the Universe likes to mess with our heads. -- http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2006_08_24.html#011963
Finally, I found this on Herd Thinners / Kevin & Kell the other day:
HOW TO PROVE IT, PART 4
proof by personal communication: 'Eight-dimensional colored cycle stripping is NP-complete [Karp, personal communication].'
proof by reduction to the wrong problem: 'To see that infinite-dimensional colored cycle stripping is decidable, we reduce it to the halting problem.'
[Dr. ZRFQ note: I've got a degree in theoretical CS. This one *really* hurt.]
proof by reference to inaccessible literature: 'The author cites a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a privately circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society, 1883.'
proof by importance: 'A large body of useful consequences all follow from the proposition in question.'
