The Universe - some information to help you live in it.
(Point #4:)
Population: None.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people that you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Recreational Impossibilities: Flying
There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard.
