It's a longer version of, "X got into a staring contest with Y ... and won," where Y is something you can't beat in a staring contest.

If someone were to, say, get into a staring contest with a Rubik's cube they would loose. They would lose because something without eyes cannot blink.

So if someone were to say, "chris the cynic once got into a staring contest with a Rubik's cube ... and won," they would be saying that my inability to lose outweighed the Rubik's cube's inability to blink. They would be saying that the laws of the universe were bent by coolness to the point that the Rubik's cube suddenly grew eyes just so it would be able to lose.

The version we have in this thread with JC and the pickax seems to be a fairly standard joke of this sort, but I think it loses a lot by explaining itself in detail.

Wow, now my head really aches! Lets try to summarize that, so that a german speaking person would understand that. You converted a joke to a logical based riddle about the ability not to lose and to win against a rubiks cube, overweighting his ability not to blink with your lack of ability to loose, making him grow eyes and so to speak do something logic would never guess. Wow, within this words the joke is completely uncovert, assassinated and burried for all time ^^ Okay, I got an example for something like that too :

Its colder at night than it is outside (which is almost like your example)

If you lose something and can't find it anywhere, probably what happened is JC Denton took it.
JC is a klepto, you know.

Picking up everything he can find, whether it be ammo from a dead guy, the spare nano-key or a half-eaten candybar...
Have you seen how much crap he keeps in his trenchcoat? :lol:

JC Denton brought a knife to a gun fight - and won.
Indeed this has been proven.

And with those words, Gunther Hermann angrily kicked the mantinance man into the bottomless pit of death.
Gunther was cast into the pit himself when JC snuck up on him moments later.
