For those of you who haven't seen it yet, Fred passed along this link. Don't settle for the snippet I'm quoting; it's got gold in it all the way to the last line:

The Universal Theory of Gravity is often taught in schools as a "fact," when in fact it is not even a good theory. [...] The theory of gravity violates common sense in many ways. Adherents have a hard time explaining, for instance, why airplanes do not fall. Since anti-gravity is rejected by the scientific establishment, they resort to lots of hand-waving. The theory, if taken seriously, implies that the default position for all airplanes is on the ground. While this is obviously true for Northwest airplanes (relying on "A Wing and a Prayer"), it appears that Jet Blue and Southwest have a superior theory that effectively harnesses forces that overcome so-called gravity.

"Now that's a thought that's going to fester." -- President Jed Bartlet (played by Martin Sheen) on the television show The West Wing, in the episode "Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc"
