O'Barr: A photon has real mass!
(Please note: I am using the original definition
of the word 'mass.' In my usage, 'rest mass' must be
used to describe the mass of a particle that is at
rest, and a particle appears to increase in mass as
it increases in its velocity.)

A dog has five legs!
(Please note: I am not using the standard definition
of the word 'legs'. In my usage, 'legs' must be used to
describe the long things growing out of a dog's body.)
