If there is a buy-back program for butter knives, I have plenty I'd willingly sell.


By the way by your logic you should ban humans from running as well as they have the same kinetic energy as a bullet. If I can run at 7m/s and I weigh 100kg then my kinetic energy is 4900 m2/s2.

A top Olympic sprinter can run at about 10 m/s, but likely weighs less than 100 kg.

I used to live in Philadelphia back in the day
Of course Philly has a 2 term limit.
Mayor Rizzo was not happy about that
He wanted to be Mayor for life and tried to get voters to pass a referendum to end term limits for a Mayor.
The Philly voters decided otherwise and voted the referendum down

I always wonder what they mean when they say 'term limits' ... is that on the politicians term in office or term in prison?
