41. Cellphones are fragile as glass. A cell phone dropped from pocket height will shatter like thin crystal, especially when it is needed.
42. Evil people can be instantly spotted, because they smoke.
43. People jump and run to do as they are told when you scream 'JUST DO IT!' instead of dumping hot coffee in your lap and telling you they quit.
44. If a girl's dog likes you, so will she.

They gave an explanation for that in Trek, though. Vulcans, for example, don't call
themselves Vulcans. We do. And the Universal Translator translates it as Vulcans.
Cardassians and Romulans also have native names for themselves.
It doesn't really fit under closer examination and it's a retconned explaination, but
that's that.

47. Dogs have extra-sensory perception which allows them to instantly recognize anybody who is evil. They will relay this information by growling and/or barking.
