You kinda take some of these things for granted after seeing it happen a shitload of times.

Don't ever hit the chickens with a sword. While this may seem the most logical source of nourishment all it does is piss them off.

Instead, murder a local villager, who will drop a roast on a plate for you as his dying act.

What about it's possible to jump whilst in mid-air after already jumping off the ground

Or punching someone in the face is more effective then shotting them in the exact same spot.

I love it. There're a few I don't get, and a few that are pretty much recycled, but overall a fantastic read.

#97: Frogs die in water.

That is the best one out of all of them, I think.

- When randomly finding a weapon in the street, you should always yell a bad ass quote like "Come get some"

-Most cellphones and electronic device will work just find even if you swim with them for 2 km.

-A night in jail is usually enough to have your trial ready the day after.

-Every one you meet outside a city will most likely try to kill you.

-If you look far enough, you may notice trees appearing as you walk.

-You cannot buy a Ferrari even if you have the money to do so, unless the guy working at the dealer got a call to be sure that you beat some other guy in a race.

-Trigering an alarm while tresspassing is allright, it will goes off a minute later. But trigering 2 others means you have fail your mission and must go back to the entry point.

-A worker and 500$ should be more than enough for any generals to have a big army up and running in 8 min.

-If a mayor wants to demolish someone house to put a big statue of himself instead, it's perfectly allright to do so. In fact, it will increase the mayor rating of the adjacent houses.

-If you're a commander, it's allright to call artillery support to an area with some of your mens in it, as long as there is more of the opposite team, you should be winner overall.

-Waiting 12 hours for a store to open in pouring rain shouldn't trigger any emotion from you.

-If a swordmen is placed in a mountain and his attacked by a tank, the swordmen might easily win this one... (This one is from Civilization, I think it should be said lol)

-If you're a rockstar, it's perfectly allright to not play any solo part at all, as long as you play the rest of the song good enough.

-It's easy to remove mine fields with a little logic.
