[QUOTE=Captain Carrot] I don’t get it. [/QUOTE] Well, once upon a time, there were three pigs, walking along, each with a brick. The first pig had a brown brick, the second had a black brick, and the third pig had a red brick. The first pig said, "Hey, I bet I can throw this brown brick up in the air, and it won’t come down. He threw it up, and it came right down, nearly hitting the second pig. “Hey, look out! You’re not doing it right, watch.” The second pig threw his black brick up in the air. It stayed in the air longer, but it, too fell to the ground. The first two pigs look at the third pig. The third pig throws his brick up into the air, and it doesn’t come back down. ---
