Experiment: Threw a rock at a stray cat (looked like a Calico, but it might have had a different name).

Result: The cat made a surprised sound and ran away. Possible confirmation of Carson's Unified Cat Theory???

Experiment: Threw a rock into a crowd of smug elitists gathered around the salad bar at the International Scientist Banquet.

Result: Heard several shouts of "Hey, watch it!" and "What the?", and was met with a lot of unpleasant looks. Not the positive result I was expecting, which leads me to believe the experiment is flawed. Perhaps I need to use a larger rock at the next banquet.

Experiment: Threw a rock down a wishing well.

Result: Got what I wished for, only it was covered in rock. Took it to get appraised, discovered it was worth exactly one cent less than the version I would have gotten if I had wished with a penny. The more I think about the math behind that, the more uncomfortable I feel.

Result: Kicked out of the university's lab. For good this time, or so they said.

Experiment: Threw a rock at the visage of Russell Brand, as it appeared on my television during the USA network's "Character Of The Month" spotlight.

Result: The rock phased out of existence a few feet from Brand's face, as all the others have. At the exact same moment, the man's image somehow seemed to become more powerful and even less funny.

Experiment: Threw a rock at the target on one of those dunk tanks at the county fair.

Result: Unlocked the underlying formula of the Theory Of Everything.

Experiment: Threw a rock at a bag of Twizzlers that had been purchased at a movie theater.

Result: The bag did not burst into flames, proving once again why theater candy comes at a premium.

Experiment: Threw a rock into a time-space wormhole, directly at the back of a figure who looked an awful lot like me in the near future, sitting at a desk and typing.

Result: The wormhole closed before I could see what happe- AH, SHIT! I forgot the oven! My fish sticks are burning!
