Thanks for the thread, ZombieHorde.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say something like "what mysteries of the universe does that cat get to witness?" I would have, well, at least a few extra bucks

Or maybe not. You will not know until you peek inside my mind.

Some people take that though experiment a little too literally

Still, I might get myself a cute tshirt, themed after kitty, at Comicon this year.

Then I could start hoping for the general public.

I even hear science people mis-use that one.

As in, "More than you can count" rather than referring to the technical sense of the word. Though I admit that I get a little bothered when I hear an astronomer talk about uncountably many stars in the universe when they really mean something other than "uncountable".

"Exponentially" does not mean "very rapidly".

I thought I would point out that lightning, in fact, DOES strike the same place twice, and more. Don't believe it? Look up info on how many times The Empire State Building has been struck. Not only that, but many barns have Lightning Attractors on them for a very specific reason (give the lightning something else to do, another path, besides burning down the barn). Lightning DOES strike the same places more than once. I'm sick of hearing people say the opposite when it is not true.
