Though he was sure Thomas Jefferson had written the Declaration of Independance, he was going for $50,000 and other revolutionary war leaders kept popping into his head, so he took the money instead of correctly answering the question, and thereby fell victim to the Kitchen Effect.

Get the Kitchen Effectmug. The Chimney Effect appears most often when you fart wearing insulated clothing like ski jackets\pants, which causes you fart to travel up you pants\jacket and then explode in your face. And in some cases it will follow you around for a while.
Guy 1 : Damn man I just had the nastiest fart.

Guy 1 : Oh shit I completely forgot about the chimney effect

Get the the chimney effectmug. Best explained by Frodo Baggins to Gandalf about Bilbo’s 111th birthday.
"Half the Shire's been invited. And the rest of them are turning up anyway."
Often happens at weddings and teenage/frat parties or events in small towns. What happens is when you invite your “A List” of family and friends half say they are not coming. So you send out your “B list” to give them a chance to come and hopefully keep the minimum number of people you set out to invite. However what can happen instead is that the people who said they weren’t coming come and even brings guests as well. Because of the majority of people moving in with each other instead of getting married marriage has become an "event".
