Things You've Learned From Cartoons

If you dig a hole straight down, you will pop up in China (where everything is upside down).

And whereas older cartoons are concerned, the residents' teeth will be at least a foot long, their eyes will be shut, and they will bow at least once every second.

Don't forget the yellow skin, long braid and coolie hat.

The other interesting thing about a hole through the earth, is that you will fall all the way through. When, and only when, you emerge on the other side and everything around you flips right side up, does gravity pull you the other way. This usually only lasts long enough to take you back home. Oh, and chances are you'll pass a guy with horns and a pitchfork along the way.

This doesn't just apply to cartoons . . . Mickey Rooney was made up like this in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S!

Miss Gorightry!  You make-a too much noise!
God, I hated that movie.  Not just for his blatantly stereotyped performance, but the movie as a whole was just stupid IMO.

Wow . . . this is one of my favorite movies.  Not Top 10 or anything, but at least Top 50.

Really??  I guess I mostly didn't like it because Holly Golightly was such a complete dips**t in the movie, and towards the end George Peppard became just as stupid. 
There are definitely some films considered classics that I just didn't like.  That one, and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf I just couldn't stand.

I've learned that getting shot point blank in the face doesn't kill you or put a hole in your head, it simply causes your face to be blackened temporarily.

Condors dont like being shot at,Theres a difference between eating and consuming,Lovebirds can be realy romantic,If you press a button your space car folds into a briefcase,A rock & roll group can have three guitar players but no drummer,

You can stand in midair as long as you think there's something under you.

Rabbits are six feet tall on their hind feet.

Anvils are an extremely common item, that require moderate effort to lift and will give you a nasty bump if they land on you.


Actually, I watched cartoons for years before I even knew what an anvil was. I saw one in a machine shop when I was 7 or 8 and all was revealed. Eureka. That's what it's for. It is interesting when you look at those old cartoons and realize they were made in a time when most of the kids understood references to things like blacksmithing and farming. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of adults out there today who only know an anvil as an oddly shaped heavy thing that cartoon characters drop on each other.

99% of the time villains just look cooler

Being ambitious tends to make you evil

If a villain threatens you or your loved ones, relax; the villain is probably incompetent and if things actually start to get serious a hero will swoop and save you

It's okay to be different as long as you never question the overall opinions and methods of the group

You can run off a cliff and continue running several feet in the air (horizontally) until you notice that you're not on a solid surface anymore.

There was a period in time when it was illegal for anthropomorphic animals to not wear white gloves.
