That a toilet flushing gets you out of hell seems somehow subversive.

And apparently Ray will re-enter the world with his thong around his ankles. I hope nobody's around.

I totally didn't get it either.  I had to set up a little racetrack on my desk with paper clips and re-enact the scene before I figured it out.  

But then, I'm a blonde polack*, so what do you expect?  

*And I had to go to dictionary.com to see if "polack" had one L or two...

I told the "passing second place" joke/riddle at the bar just last Sunday, and of the three people I told it to, two needed an explanation, and one of those two had a very hard time even after I explained.  

I guess they won't be getting out of hell any time soon...

Now on to my dumbness...  Is there something more to the "How much do most rocks weigh?" question?  If it's a joke or something, I don't get it.  If it's just a straight question, how is "about a pound" a correct answer?  Is it that once a rock is significantly smaller than one pound, it is a pebble, and if significantly larger it is a boulder?  

Help me out here.

I think it just works because it's Ray.

Actually, the "pound" is necessarily the answer to "how much do most rocks weight?" because the unit of measure that we call a "pound" was created because it was the weight of the average rock (or stone).

So Ray is indubitably correct.

A stone is 14 pounds (rocks).

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

I considered creating a detailed hierarchy of rocks/stones/boulders but then i realized this would be even dorkier than the time Anarchy_Bowling and I  tried to decide the relative relationships between a crapload/buttload/assload/etc.

Also, at work I use F7 in Outlook to check words such as hierarchy since it's always open anyway.

At least this gives Onstad a concrete reason not to write Todd in for a while.

Anyway, I figured the rock thing was just sort of Zen. Ray said the first logical answer, and hey, got him out of Hell. As for the racetrack riddle, I think the wording is misleading; it's not entirely clear about whether the guy you're passing is in second place before or after you pass him. If it's after, Todd's right.

Ray knows that most rocks weigh about a pound the same way that he knows that water is full of nutrients.

If it's after, he's not in second place anymore.
