A Professor's Logical Reasoning?

      A professor of biology at the University of Pecapsee is doing an experimental research with a mouse — a real mouse, not his desktop mouse — where he has been able to train the mouse to jump up when he rings a bell.

      He continues with his experiments by trying to get the response from the mouse when he cuts off the two front legs of the mouse. The experiment shows that the mouse is still able to jump up when the bell rings. So the professor concludes that the mouse can still respond perfectly upon hearing the sound of the bell ring.

      At last he cuts off the remaining two rear legs of the mouse and waits for the result when he rings the bell. And, logically enough, the mouse is not able to jump again....

      But, what is coming out from the professor's mind? What actually does he find?

      Here's what he put in his conclusion....

      If all four legs of the mouse have been cut off, then the mouse will become... deaf! So, the mouse can not hear the ring of the bell and therefore will not jump up again!

The Light Beam 'Pillar'

      Two guys being long-time patients at a lunatic asylum in the West-Jakarta area are resting on their beds one evening. While one of the guys is boasting himself that he has been cured and is ready to go home soon, the room lighting suddenly goes off.

      The other guy immediately takes a flashlight that is stored in his night table drawer and turns it on while pointing it upward to the room ceiling.

      Then while lurking to the first guy who has just boasted himself, he says, "Hey, look at this beam of light... It's like a pillar stretched up to the ceiling. Would you dare climb up past this beam to get to the ceiling?"

      The first guy proudly answers, "Well, that's pretty damn easy for me, 'cause I've been used to climb coconut-trees in my village... Anyway, I'd rather not try to do it now...."

      "But why? I bet you must be scared," the other guy challenges him.

      "Well, yes, for sure. Suppose I've reached the ceiling safely... and you suddenly turn the light off... I'll surely be flung down with no mercy at all...."
