   My dad used to do this when I was little. When I was five my mom, dad, and I were at a buffet, and I looked up and asked why they had a light over each table. He simply replied that they made the food go bad more quickly, so people had to go and get more. I said ‘oh!’ and Mom just gave him an evil glance. Ironically my dad’s name was Calvin

   They use physics. I was taking a physics class in High School when this was first published. I decided to figure the answer and guess what it was a question on the test.

   My dad also does this. The only problem is that its hard to tell whether he is serious or not.
