Due to recent studies and research, it turns out raptors actually have feathers.

That chair's missing a fourth leg, for starters.

It's probably behind the left front leg.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor
>Fossils of dromaeosaurids more primitive than Velociraptor are known to have had feathers covering their bodies, and fully developed, feathered wings. The fact that the ancestors of Velociraptor were feathered and possibly capable of flight long suggested to paleontologists that Velociraptor bore feathers as well, since even flightless birds today retain most of their feathers.

if you have a flawless glass of water and keep it perfectly still then when you drop the temp below freezing the water will not freeze but if you touch it it will instantly become solid ice.

same deal with boiling, perfectly still water in a smooth glass can not naturally boil without flaws in its container so if you raise it above boiling and shake it will explode into gas form and probably burn/blind you

>perfectly still
define PERFECTLY_STILL

That's pretty hard to do, since the particles in liquid are always in motion in order for liquid to behave like it does. Though I suppose it's easier if you drop the temperature around it so that the matter slows down to almost a complete halt in order to be a solid.

It's easier than you think, in fact it does need to be perfectly still. Slight disruptions do not effect it much, only significant movement can. For example, try freezing a bottle of soda (ensuring that it remains stationary while freezing) for four hours, then remove the bottle, carefully, and notice that it isn't frozen. Shake it, then it should start to freeze before your eyes.

If you are at just the right point near a blackhole you could shine a light on the back of your head, the light would bounce of orbit around the blackhole and then you could see the back of your head
