Random thoughts (part 8)

It's been a few month since my last batch of random thoughts, so that can only mean one thing. It's time for another collection of yet more random thoughts...

Happy birthday to Tu Youyou!

1) Happy birthday to Tu Youyou!


The winner of the 2015 Nobel prize for physiology or medicine was Chinese chemist Tu Youyou.

Rather impressively, Tu Youyou discovered new antibiotics which are used to treat malaria. But even more impressive is the fact that Tu Youyou has the world's most confusing name to sing happy birthday to!

Tu Youyou's friends: "Happy birthday to you!"
Tu Youyou: "No, it's Tu Youyou."



2) Never trust a dentist!


If dentists make money from people with unhealthy teeth, and 9 out of 10 dentists recommend Colgate, what does that say about Colgate?
Whoopie Cushing



3) Parp!


Imagine if Whoopie Goldberg married Peter Cushing...



4) When your reputation proceeds you...


It must be really difficult for wealthy Nigerians with legitimate overseas interests to find people to do business with.



5) Fail! (Part one)


If you're a famous smuggler, you're not doing it right.

"Who's stupid idea was this anyway!?"


6) Water way to go


If the human population held hands around the equator...

...a significant proportion of them would drown.



7) Good or bad?


Whether you were a good person or a bad person, you will have left the world a better place when you die.



8) Fail! (Part two)


Does Cyclops wink or blink?
If at first you don't succeed, don't go sky-diving.



9) Two become one


How do you tell the difference between when Cyclops blinks or winks?



10) A fair trail?


Finally, two ISIS terrorists recently complained that they wouldn't get a fair trial when they returned to the UK.

The obvious question is ... why would a terrorist want a fair trial!? Surely a fair trial is the last thing a terrorist would want, because then they would get the justice they deserve. Surely if you're a terrorist you would want an unfair trial, so that there's a chance that you get off with your crimes?
