Words

Ugh.

Question: Can you unravel something that has been ravelled?

Answer: No. Apparently unravel and ravel mean the same thing! If you try to unravel something that you have ravelled you will find yourself in worse straights. If you then try and unravel it again you will be worse off still. Linguistically you are shit out of luck.

This is why we should rise up against the sewing masses of the world. Darn them!

I'll bet Chuck Norris could ravel anything...

With Chuck Norris everything is a synonym of Roundhousekick. So yes, he could ravel anything.

And it would suffer.
