Did You Know...? That a group of unicorns is called a blessing, twelve or more cows are known as a flink, a group of frogs is called an army, a group of rhinos is called a crash, a group of kangaroos is called a mob, a group of ravens is called a murder, a group of officers is called a mess, a group of larks is called an exaltation, a group of owls is called a parliament, ...and a whale's penis is called a dork. Ten Things That Would Be Different If Microsoft Started Building Cars 1. A particular model year of a car would not be available until after that year instead of before it. 2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you'd have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die for no reason and you'd have to restart it. For some strange reason you'd just accept this. 4. You could only have one person in the car at a time unless you bought a Car 95 or a Car NT. But then you'd have to buy more seats. 5. Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was solar powered, twice as reliable and five times as fast, but it would only run on 5 percent of the roads. 6. The oil, engine, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" light. 7. People would get excited about the new features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for years. 8. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas. 9. The government would be receiving subsidies from an automaker instead of giving them. 10. New seats would force everyone to have the same-size butt.
