* In a [[Road Runner]] cartoon, Wile E. Coyote runs off a cliff while in pursuit of the Road Runner who, it turns out, is standing just off the edge of the cliff in mid-air. The bedraggled Coyote looks up from the bottom of the canyon at the Road Runner and holds up a sign commenting that what the Road Runner is doing defies the laws of gravity. The Road Runner responds by holding up his own sign saying it doesn't matter because he's never studied law.
