This cute link is a list of things which “only happen in the movies:”

Among my favorites are this one about movie-musicals:

6. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

This “Indiana Jones” and all “WWII” movies parody:

8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other.

And also this one:

33. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach to armpit level on a woman but only up to the waist of the man lying beside her.

   Ah–thanks! I was wondering where I got 63 pro-open-source and anti-IE comments all at once from. Man, slashdot loves me :-p

   I had to leave you a note saying that your “racism” related reply to someone on the “LJ Murderer” thread was sharp.

   These parodies are hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

   Good luck with school, and for the future.

   Cheers
