Oprah does that becuase if she paid the taxes, they would be much, much higher because she is so rich. The gifts would also be considered part of her income, so their would be more taxes for her on top of that. Even with taxes, you're paying pennies on the dollar on the items actual worth. Stop complaining.
I've never received a gift from Oprah. But if you get a gift that's really worth anything or win a big prize on a game show, you end up with massive taxes. On shows like The Price Is Right, any winnings you get are usually consumed by the taxes on prizes, and sometimes people end up worse off than they were before.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but wouldn't that technically mean you are applying pressure on your bottom jaw to raise your whole skull up. We don't technically have a top jaw...
Speaking about the dino thing, a thought came to my mind: maybe, at this very moment, there is a planet, in an other galaxy, far far away, where some kind of dinosaurs are currently living (which is scientifically possible). And it blew my mind to realise how small we are....
Unfortunately, the fact is not quite true… theoretically, yeah, but you'd only be receiving one or two photons that had actually bounced off Earth if you're at such a distance…
But fortunately, there is literally an entire field of science called astrobiology which is dedicated to finding the truth in scenarios like yours!!
I liked the driveway one. It made me realize that if you've got a toilet that flushes then most of our toilets are sort of connected via the oceans. I hope you're not reading this while sitting on throne and wondering if something is going to come up the s-bend.
