This is most Illogical!

Adolf Hitler was a man with a lot of ideas, most of them bad, including his "Project Mouse". Mouse was intended to be a land battleship, designed by Dr Porsche of VW (later famous for sports cars) ,180 tons in weight, 50 feet long with a 1,500 horsepower engine, which was heavily armoured and amphibious. Sadly when trialled in 1944, roads were destroyed, the foundations of buildings it passed crumbled and when it left the road it quite literally sank into the ground. I think Dr Porsche was quite lucky to survive!
Emporor Menelik II of Abyssinia was so impressed with reports of the first executions using electric chairs in New York in 1890 that he had ordered three of the ghastly devices. Unfortunately, upon delivery, it became apparent that they required electricity to work and so he was unable to use them, instead converting one of them into his throne.

If a rumour was started at midnight and repeated within two seconds by everyone who knew about it to two other people and those two told it to two other people etc. etc. Everyone in the world would know about it before 6.30am. As long as they were all in the same room, or something like that........

An U.S. scientist asked several people to identify the subject of a photograph he had taken in 1937. Most of them identified the picture as an elaborate hat or crown. In fact it was a drop of milk splashing inot a bowl which he had photographed at a shutter speed of 1/10,000th of a second. Typical american smart alec, and I bet the idiots looking at the photo were american too!

An american millionaire on a deerstalking trip in Scotland decided that his white horse could be seen too easily by the deer. He bought two black dyes from the local hairdresser and succesfully dyed his horse black. Unfortunately the dye had such a powerful stench that the horsecould be smelt by man or beast for miles and the half-witted millionaire returned to America empty handed.
