Some people have a different point of view to you. Continental Europe has a huge issue with this, especially Germany. Most Nazi insignia and stuff is banned except for educational purposes partly to prevent a new Nazi party using these symbols as a rallying point.
I'm not American, and what's more, that doesn't explain in the least bit why a picture of Hitler is "racist" while a picture of the swastika isn't.

Correct.. well, all of em are right, but in the Swedish version only clock sounds right.

Well, a more sientific question.
If your traveling on a boat that's going 80 km/h and jump into the water (backwards, offcourse) at a 45 degree angle, what happens?

You become wet.

You violate the laws of physics via a quantum flux hole in general relativity and enter the Realm of the Infinitely Improbabable, where you are attacked by a giant anteater and subsequently escape by putting it to sleep by reading a passage from A Tale of Two Cities. Later, a peculiar and happenstance occurence (the workings of which we won't attempt to explain here) involving a mummy, a copy of the I Ching, an iPod Nano, a large magnet, George Clooney, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pair tree results in your voice being irrevocably changed, your hair being turned into a tangle of unwashed black licorice strands, and your mouth being unable to utter a sentence without cursing or making a lewd reference. You then escape to the real world with the help of the Lady Galadriel and the Seven Dwarves, put on dark glasses and become Howard Stern.
But that only happened once.

you die, cause you just jumped off a boat moving at high speed, and then surface and the prop slices your head in half...

0.1 seconds after you take off, you find yourself in the air, and is accelerating downwards at about 9.8m/s^2 under the influnce of gravity.
A simpler answer: there'll be one less person on the boat.

Depends on the type of boat, doesn't it? I mean, you aren't neglecting drag and air resistance are you?

Ok, here's an actualy difficult question
To create a mirror for a telescope without grinding down a glass disk molten glass is poured into a centerfuge (of radius 6m) rotating at 10 rpm.
Show that the glass will form a parabloid and determin the f-number of the mirror.
Ok, so it's not that hard but hey

In Quebec, Waldo was renamed "Charlie", and all media pertaining to him, whether it be a joke in a hollywood movie or the actual book series, they say "Où est Charlie?" Apparently the name Waldo was not french enough, thus the French Language SS revised history and chose "Charlie" because it's.. more.. French.. wtf?

Waldo is also a podunk town in the middle of farm country on the drive between where I'm from (Jacksonville, FL) and where I go to school (Gainesville, FL). Its claim to fame is that its primary source of income is from speeding tickets issued to people going 5MPH over the speed limit. Through town, the speed limit arbitrarily and suddenly changes, and police set up speed traps at each speed limit change and pull you over if you're speeding even 10 feet beyond the speed limit change.
Everyone hates Waldo.
