how many beans make five

An old British expression, used in the context "he knows how many beans make five", meaning "he knows his stuff" or referring to one who's good at mathematical puzzlers. Derives from the days of the abacus, when the wooden beads (beans) were moved along in various increments.

how many licks?

A song by Lil' Kim that asks the question, "how many licks does it take til' you get to the center of the _____". The video portrays three "edible Lil' Kim Dolls". The first being "Candy Kim", the second being "Pin-up Kim", and the last being "Night Rider Kim". We are told nothing about Candy Kim except her name. Pin-up Kim goes out "to her Nighas in jail, beating they dicks to the cell. She wants them to imagine their tongue in between my thighs and grab their vaseline. Lastly, Night Rider Kim is the edible doll that can be found at the clubs after midnight. After three bottles she is ready to fuck. She states that some even put her on their grocery list, right next to the whipped cream and box of chocolates and that her shit comes in flavors.

Though the song is extremely intricate, it does not answer the question - How many licks does it take?

Hey How Many Licks?
I heard she got bigger tits. SHUT UP BITCH.

Hey Jared, how many licks does it take?

I dunno. Imma go over to Lil' Kim's house and found out. Call ya later.

Many Worlds Theory

The quantum theory which states that all possible quantum universes can exist simultaneuously. It solves the Schrodinger cat problem by stating that the universe splits at each quantum junture, and hence the cat is alive in one universe and dead in another.

In other words, everything that can happen, does happen (just in seperate worlds). Every possibility plays itself out in one universe or another.

Recently, an increasing number of physicists have voiced their support for the Many Worlds Theory.

too many chiefs, not enough Indians

Phrase used to claim there are too many bosses, not enough workers, but also used to lament the over-education of the "masses," who should realize their place. Usually uttered by yuppies or their parents, quite confident that no one in their circle will end up a mere "Indian."

"Ah, another fellowship program, but you can't find a good lawn man these days. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians."
