How he did it ? :)

It appears it was the result of an horriffic accident when he got too close to the action while watching the ‘Tour de France’ near the Massif Central this summer. Apparently the paramedics said that if the front wheel hadn’t come off at the critical moment he would have been killed outright.

Are you saying that he got Lanced!

My sneaking suspicion is that the horrific accident was a result of carelessly enthusiastic exercise of the victim’s being a connoisseur of the subtleties of the complex aromatic characteristics of bicycle seats.

Eric is, of course, correct. It’s the same old probability thing.

Michael, where did you see this again?

This can be explained simply using quantum physics. You see, there is a small–extremely small, but positive–probability that the molecules in the frame’s top tube momentarily went in opposite directions, creating a gap in the tube. There is also a small–extremely small, but positive–probability that during this separation the man’s cheek entered this gap. Multiplying these probabilities together, we get a number so mindbogglingly small that the event was certain to happen.

bullshit.

i said i will hear no more about it.

An explanation of this business can be found in Flann O’Brians novel “The Third Policeman”. Although in the book it was a mans arse that got involved with the bike.All to do with the mingling of both parties molecules.

now that was the smartest answer I have read yet!

One does try to approach these matters with some delicacy.

Isn’t this all explained in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?

Ah… so … hmmm… yeah…

There is no difficulty to this stunt.
One must first eat, then regurgitate but not completely,
the bicycle.

There is a famous holyman in South India and, when you go
to see him, he hands you a ring, apparently out of the
blue, with your name inscribed on it.
It’s either silver or gold. Suppose you think
‘This is nice but I like gold better.’ He immediately
asks you for the ring back, closes it in his hand
and gives you back a gold ring with your name inscribed
on it.

I was told that this fellow is a hoax.
The holyman doesn’t
materialize out of nothing the ring with your name on it,
as he pretends. No, no, he has a warehouse in Bombay full of
rings with names inscribed on them. When you arrive
he simply reads your mind, discovers your name, then
telekinetically transports a ring with your name from
the warehouse to his hand. I was told this quite seriously.
