Hooves.

Does a gryphon have a lion tail or an eagle tail?
Up to you, like the spelling. It's typically drawn with a lion tail, but then the thing wouldn't be able to steer in flight. I usually draw them with eagle tails, although biological realism is not really the point in most fantasy art.

It's when two vowel sounds get combined together to make one sliding sound, like "oy" or "ow". It's also a really good name for a band.

What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?
Well, most people will tell you that the two can't exist in the same universe.

When two mammals like us go to reproduce, the male gives some of his DNA to the female, she mixes it with her own, incubates it, then squirts out a baby about nine months later.
Really?
Yup.

Nah. That's all side effects.

Because the peanut allergy gene is man made, which also explains why it only affects inferior races.

Can I make a Molotov cocktail with a water cooler bottle?

Red shift. The farther away a star is, the faster it moves, and that alters its colour.

(Man, I feel like a woman...)
No, the best thing about being a woman is going for three days without shaving your legs, sharing a tub of Rocky Road with your best friend, then going out to play Frisbee on the beach while listening to the New Kids on the Block.

Why don't more places serve burgers made from emu, antelope, caribou, tofu, or mushroom?
Because beef and chicken are a two-pronged monopoly, carrying efficiency of production to inhuman heights and maintaining a stranglehold on the economy with draconian ferocity.
