Some other little known proofs recently discovered in a monastery high in the mountains of Transylvania:

Snow in November is a harbinger of bad things to come. Very bad. Like having to get up 20 minutes early to clean off your stupid car bad.
Holding Happy Hour on Friday afternoon is a moral imperative. Plus, it protects us from the terrorists.
