Having had an interest in the sciences (and many other things besides) Mr Kirby would attribute it to"The Law of Uiversal Bloodymindedness".
I attribute it to Murphy but a TV executive would attribute it to the other b'stard trying to b***** up his ratings.

Take your pick

This is on the 'looking for' thread, but as this is one of the most watched threads I thought I wouldput it on here too, due to its importance.

How do you know the light has gone out when you close the fridge door?

by leaving it shut for at least 10mins and then seeing if the bulb is warm!

put the hamster in the fridge, close the door for 10 mins, open door and see if its pupils are dilated.
