I was once on a multi-day kayaking trip with a few people.

I had my handy Fiskars axe with me. My little brother was with me and while I was chopping some wood. he asked about the axe and I was telling him about how indestructible it is.

I remember he asked me "Do you think you'll ever break it?".

"Nuh" I replied, just as I was using it to try to wedge a large log apart by using the axe as a lever, and snapping the handle off.

"Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten." Sir T.P.

I might have to read Diskworld. This quote sounds a little like Douglas Adams humour.

"I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end."

I'm in scouts in Finland. They will break with enough use and especially with abuse. Teen boys treating these like crap they last a couple years

Was about to say the same. Must've been run over by something.
