Ever hear the question:

Why do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?

Back in the day, parkways were circular roads that were around parks for people to drive around... and driveways were along the coasts... so you could take the driveway along the shore and see the ocean and such.. IF I remember it correctly, there ya go.. anyone got anymore little anecdotes?

yeah, ive got one
 

If asteroids come from the hemisphere, and hemoroids(sp?) come from your butt, shouldnt the names be switched? ;-)

Theres the all-popular "if 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, why do they have locks on their door?"

Actually, I investigated one time, and it turns out the local 7-11 DOESN'T have locks on their doors :eek:

Well.. They might go back to the drawing stone... and I think the turtle is homeless... because he can't find another shell to live in like a hermit crab... :rolleyes:

I always thought it odd that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. There's a whole list of these out there somewhere, here are a few that I remember:

Also why is something shipped by water called cargo,but if its shipped by land its called shipment?

Why isn't PHONETIC spelled the way it sounds?

you really want to know? it's not really that hard.... Obviously something has to have existed indefinitely. Either everything that exists now has existed for infinity, or something has existed that has the ability to create matter. Gee, wonder who that could be...

acuallyt....
law of conservation of mass can be 'splaned like this....
it can changed into energy... and energy in to mass..ect..
so for zample....
(i'll try my best to 'splain this b/c my cousen tried to explain it to me ... so this is in my own words...)
the sun will keep expanding till it takes in mercury... mars.. earth.. ect.. and then it will implode (right word?) in to a white dorf then soon
just blow up, (maybe even a supernova)...
then all that energy will come togather to form planets and everthing all over again...
and over again..
and over again...
ect...
i hope that makes sence....

you all think too much for your own good.. just take stuff for what it is... makes things a lot easier... ;)

1) i do take things the way they are... being stuped lets u get away w/ a lot..
2) when u know stuff u get to confuse stuped people...
3) and if i remeber correctly, ur the one who started this thread (explaining parkway and driveway)
