I means it gets light before 10am if you are Scottish. I deeply suspect that the main reason however is to confuse people and make it near impossible to figure out when to go and wait for your taxi when leaving a nighclub at around 2 or 3am.

Why do greengrocers write prices on the side of pumpkins in permanent marker, when they know you are only going to use them for display purposes?
 
  • #2,503
I will write some cursory answer so I get to ask my really, really stupid question: "because that's the only kind of labeling on Halloween pumpkins acceptable to the Office of Grocery Greens, Labels and Writing Instruments, a regulatory body also known as OfGrog."

When people shorten their names, what happens to the extra letters? When Thomas becomes Tom, where does h, a, and s each go? When Elizabeth becomes Lib, who takes in E, z, a, e, t, h?

These letters go to people named Sha and Theeza, who live in the Tined
Teats of Cameri, a poor-third world nation that cannot afford letters and must rely of the generosity of donations from other people around the world.

Once when I was repelling down a particularly steep cliff somewhere in the Pamirs in some exceptionally bitter cold weather, I happened to notice that there was some sort of tiny sherpa-like character strolling up the cliff near me without the benefit of any ropes or other rock climbing equipment. He was about 7 inches tall, and was walking straight up the cliff in an outright horizontal attitude. I beckoned him over to me wanting to ask how he did it, but he put his hand to his mouth and shouted "Nope! I'm happy with my present telephone service, thank you very much!" It occurred to me then, that he must be psychotic and hallucinating from exposure, and saw me as some sort of large telephone. So I shouted back "I'm not a telephone!"

"That's what every telephone thinks!" he replied, and scurried quickly up, out of earshot. "Well" I mused to myself as I paused to dump some shavings out, "It's a sad state of affairs when a 7 inch sherpa can't tell a telephone from an electric pencil sharpener," and I continued to descend the rock face, hoping to make it to the wall socket I could see several hundred feet down where I could plug myself in for the night.

How was he walking up the cliff like that?

It was his magnatron boots, if you would of looked closer he was only stepping on the iron rich stones.

We had a giant wind storm, and all the leaves that I failed to rake, danced like so many insane pixies, befor swooshing up to the sky and vanishing.
Were they dancing a Box Trott or a Waltz?
 
  • #2,510
Neither, the leaves actually blew to your house all the way from Cuba, they were dancing a rumba.

Why were the leaves so desperate to leave Cuba?

After Acme Corporation added a new CEO to its widget division, why did sales multiply in minus zero temperatures?

What else would you expect sales of widgets to multiply in plus zero temperatures? I hardly think so. so the answer is of course: bran.

If a raccoon bites you and it doesn't have rabies is there still a chance you might turn into a vampire raccoon? or would you become a were-raccoon?
 
  • #2,514
There is a small, remote chance of turning into a were-raccoon. However, they are not called "were-raccoons"; they are called "pandas".

If you knew what time it is, could you tell me what time it is?
 
  • #2,515
No, I couldn't.

Speaking of time, how is it that it stands still and flys?
 
  • #2,516
It doesn't stand still, or fly; it's just an optical illusion that depends upon internal perception. :rolleyes:

Speaking of internal optical perceptions, did you hear the joke about the pedestrian that was too chicken to cross the road?

No, but I did hear the joke about the chicken that was too pedestrian to cross the road.

by the way, if i told u the time it would no longer be that time, and hence, i would have to tell u the time for an infinite amount of time, but that would take too much time...

They are all boring and bored, but that's not the reason they blog. They blog in order not to waste a semester of typing lessons.

Recently, or perhaps even earlier than that, a message appeared on my screen informing me that Windows xp cannot open files written in Chirplinger. This was a surprise, since I wasn't aware I was trying to do such a thing. What is Chirplinger and who uses it?

Who else would be responsible for the new-look Physics Forum? Think about it. They've integrated themselves among us, changed our habitat to resemble their mothership and no doubt are reformatting our atmosphere as we speak, and are now busy quoting us as saying things we never did with the soul aim of stealing our sperm to prove we did say those things with which they will then impregnate the alien queen and form a new race of Thread Killers!

Sure, but hold the cherry and the vanilla and the pepper and the lemon. And the twist. And the diet. Just get me a doctor. I'm not a well man.

Why, contrary to Mk's post, is there no period in "Dr Pepper"?

Good advice. I understand the health insurance at the Times covers that procedure.

My neighbor recently bought a "hot water heater". I have a tank-y thing in my cellar that heats up the cold water and it's good enough for me. Is he just another rich yuppie showing up the neighbors?

Yeah, heating hot water. There's something incredibly lazy about it.

Recently when I was camped out on day three of my wait in an Emergency Room with yellow matter custard dripping from some kind of sinus infection I was startled into near ecstasy to hear my name called, a miracle which meant that the four hours of paperwork preliminary to becoming an official patient in waiting there was about to begin. As I crawled on all fours to the glass window, the room began swimming and swirling around me, I felt the blood leave my head, and just before I lost consciousness I'm positive I heard someone say "Hey, he don't look so good. Sumbuddy call a amulance!"

Firefox or Opera?

Madame Butterfly is playing Sydney Opera House when I'm there. So got tickets. Fair play, she must be really old. How long has she been performing now?

Some estimates are as high as 135 years, but most agree that figure is impossible. Mrs. Butterfly, herself, is typically silent on the subject, and has treated requests to carbon date her as beneath her dignity.

Yes, a lady's, indeed anyone's, age is constantly revised in a process known as the "passage of time", the antithesis of which is "preservation".

Now, Madame Butterfly, have you met Monsieur Killing Germ?
