***********************GTP ALERT!!!********************************

This morning about 8am, I awoke to find I had finally one the Black Superbee. It's literally been 3 months of countless ( probly 80+ times) racing that damn enduro. I'm so sick of that track! But I'm done now.

If you speak of chess, then I'd guess it's cause of a formality thing.

If you speak of her Highness across the pond, then I suppose a sex change wouldn't be deemed appropriate for that situation.

I'd find it wholly appropriate. And s/he could be sponsored to do it, and raise money for the state!
 
Why does a new heater core for my '85 Fiero GT cost ~3.5 times as much as a new heater core for my '85 Jimmy Sierra Classic 4x4?


(At least it doesn't cost as much as a new heater core for my sister's Subaru Legacy.) :crazy:
 
Did you know that mini exotics actually are manufactured?

I'm sure you've seen the pics. Anyway.....does anyone know where I can get one?

Better yet: How to contact that company to purchase one?

A serious question: How come everytime I get out of the shower, no matter how thoroughly I clean myself, I still smell like a**? :confused:

because when you're drying off, you don't dry thoroughly, hence, you're still wet where the sun don't shine and there's quite a bit of smelly parts down there.

But those smely parts shouldn't be smelly once you've cleaned them.

Perhaps he should change towels more often.

yes and no... they may be clean, but since they're wet as well, smells tend to stick.
 
swiftly moving on... heres another one. how long is a piece of string? :dopey:
 
Why are wrong numbers never engaged?

Why can't women put mascara on with their eyes closed?

The rule for -us words is that Latin-originating words (example: hippopotamus) become -i when pluralised. Greek-originating words (example: octopus) become -uses when pluralised. Made-up words (example: Lexus) become whatever the person who made it up wants it to become.

But, technically the correct plural of octopus isn't octopuses either.

Wiki
Fowler's Modern English Usage states that "the only acceptable plural in English is octopuses", and that octopi is misconceived and octopodes pedantic. Octopi derives from the mistaken notion that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους), gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες). If the word were native to Latin, it would be octōpēs ('eight-foot') and the plural octōpedes, analogous to centipedes and mīllipedes, as the plural form of pēs ('foot') is pedes. In modern, informal Greek, it is called chtapĂłdi (χταπόδι), gender neuter, with plural form chtapĂłdia (χταπόδια).

Quite lovely.
 
There are 1,100 species of bats, hundreds of millions in North America, accounting for 20% of all mammals.

And some must die every day.

Where do they go?

(The same question applies to squirrels, birds, and raccoons...shouldn't there be animal carcasses everywhere?)
 
Well, you see... A lot of different things happen to them. Some get eaten, some buried, some decomposed, and many are hidden away in places that most humans would never go.

Look closely at your house. Do you really not see hundreds of dead insects? Go for a drive. It is possible you will see some roadkill. Go to a forest. Usually I find about one dead pigeon a week.
 
^As stated, some get eaten and excreted onto your lawn :grumpy:
 
Is it hypocritical of an environmental to advertise in anything other than shountng at the top of their voices?

On TV, they use electricity, on the internet they use electricity, fliers use trees and electricity and megaphones use electricity.

And obviousley environmentalists hate electricity. We can't build gas/oil/coal power stations, we can't build Nuclear power stations, we can't build dams and we can't build wind farms. They don't like tidal barriers either.
