Well, giving rice to small birds makes them pop, so I say.. improvise.

 

Provided there's no searing heat to deal with... if you really could dig a hole to China, and you did, and you fell in, would you stop in the middle because of gravity?

If a tree fell in the woods with no one around to hear it, would it still be 20 times better than a new Britney Spears cd?

Floccinaucinihilipilification (or variously floccipaucinihilipilification) is "the act of describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation".

 

With 29 letters, it is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), which presents it as "enumerated in a well-known rule from the Eton Latin Grammar". The OED dates its first use in literature at 1741 in William Shenstone's Works in Prose and Verse: "I loved him for nothing so much as his flocci-nauci-nihili-pili-fication of money".

 

Though the OED gives no specifics on its derivation, the word is said to have been invented as an erudite joke by a student of Eton College, who, upon consulting a Latin textbook, found four ways of saying "don't care" and combined them:

 

flocci facere (from floccus, -i a wisp or piece of wool)

nauci facere (from naucum, -i a trifle)

nihili facere (from nihil, -i nothing; something valueless (lit. "not even a thread" from ni+hilum))

pili facere (from pilus, -i a hair; a bit or a whit; something small and insignificant)

It is often spelled with hyphens, and has even spawned the back formations floccinaucical (inconsiderable or trifling) and floccinaucity (the essence or quality of being of small importance). The OED appears to have overlooked floccinaucinihilipilificatious, which has one letter more than the nominal form, and means "small" or "insignificant." When the common English nominal suffix -ness is then added to the above adjective, a thirty-four letter noun floccinaucinihilipilificatiousness is formed, which means "smallness" or "insignificance."

Because back in the olden days each trouser leg was counted as a "pant" and so you would say "pass me a pair of pants please" indicating that you wanted two trouser legs. The phrase has continued to this day even though trousers now come stitched together.

In that same vein... who was the first person to say, "Hey, see that chicken over there? I'm gonna eat the first thing that comes out of its butt."

Had to have been someone from Chick-Fil-A. See, they saw the potential in those ovally things. They start off like that, then grow into full size chickens that they can make two things out of---sammiches, and big money!

 

Who thought of taking cola nuts and making a drink out of them?
