What would that old casino look like if it was merely furbished?
Why isn't a smartly dressed person described as kempt and heveled?
Is it worse to be a complete idiot or an incomplete idiot?
Why is the initial "c" in "crap music" silent?
Does that iconic Western saying imply that if you ARE a cowboy, you ARE...merde?
Inquiring minds want to know!
If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
If you throw a cat out of the car window, does it become kitty litter?
If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on, what happens?
If one person is inscrutable, why isn't another scrutable?
Why is it kewl to misspell phat, ghoti, and hunnerts of other wurds? Tree fiddy yerself, djatc.
(I am kind of fond of ghoti, though.)
Why do unmarried couples in their 50s and beyond still refer to each other as girlfriend and boyfriend? Surely they're adults by now, but nobody says manfriend or womanfriend. Hell, my spellchecker won't even spell those.
And don't call me Shirley.

I think you illuminate the road behind you.
Quote: AxelWolfWhat happens if you name your dog Stay?
Well, since the dog doesn't understand the meaning of the word, only what he's supposed to do when he hears it, you simply teach him that "rover" means "stay where you are" (and that "Stay" is his name). So you tell him, "rover, Stay." (note what is capitalized and what isn't)
It wasn't a real question.Quote: JoeshlabotnikWell, since the dog doesn't understand the meaning of the word, only what he's supposed to do when he hears it, you simply teach him that "rover" means "stay where you are" (and that "Stay" is his name).

Mosquito/malaria protection?Quote: vegasWhy did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
No! Because the ground crew may have forgotten to put fuel in the plane ;-)
1) Better.Quote: JoeshlabotnikAdd your own questions as you see fit.

2) Because those words were replaced over time with newer words/slang.
3) Complete idiot.
4) "There is no spoon.." I mean "c".
5) No
1) Yes, because your breath stinks. Real answer is because you're being aggressive towards your dog when you put your face directly in theirs, especially with direct eye contact. The blowing isn't treated as wind but again more direct attention. Most dogs will be more passive/submissive towards humans. Example: Go out to the wild and try to blow in a wolfs face (especially the pack leader) and see what that gets you.Quote: vegasDid you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out of the window?

2) tests
3) Only if you don't go back to pick it up.
4) Nothing would happen.
1) Because flammable is so fun to say we had to work it in to another word.Quote: beachbumbabsWhy does flammable mean the same as inflammable?

2) Independent trails, though both exist.
3) It's not cool; non-cool people think it's cool. Get reKt.
4) Because more than likely one of them wants to be married and the other knows the headaches (at that age) of marriage and wants to just be together. If the one that wants to be married tells people they're married it might bother their partner. Likewise if the one that doesn't want to be married starts telling people that it will upset the one that wants to be married because "why not just get married then?"
5) Okay, Shirley.
1) You can both park and drive on many more things than just those.Quote: MoscaWhy do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
This is a real answer btw (having done dog behavorial psychology for about 10 years). Then it will learn it's name as Stay. You must come up with another word or non-verbal communication if you wish to tell your dog to "stay put." Dogs will learn up to a couple hundred human words (in any language) throughout their life. If you name the dog a word you'd want it to learn, it will have a double meaning and confuse it, so whichever comes first (in this case the name) will take the cake.Quote: AxelWolfWhat happens if you name your dog Stay?
So they don't get knocked out on the way to their target.Quote: vegasWhy did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

I know it was a joke question but I believe things like this is why police train their dogs in German. It is highly unlikely that a perp will know the german word for stay.
Quote: GWAEI know it was a joke question but I believe things like this is why police train their dogs in German. It is highly unlikely that a perp will know the german word for stay.
So what language do they use to train their dogs in Germany.
I think they have just one word...Quote: HunterhillSo what language do they use to train their dogs in Germany.
toten (-;
WELL THIS CERTAINLY EXPLAINS A LOT.Quote: Romes(having done dog behavorial psychology for about 10 years).
I actually think the tone/ pitch and some other factors (facial expression body language) in your voice would be sufficient enough to make a difference your dog will probably respond to Rover and dover just the same. I don't know if they respond to vowel sounds more or particular letters. I'll assume anything that rhymes might do.
speaking of vowels, It's another bad day for you, the correct spelling for "behavorial" is ........
behavioral
Quote: HunterhillSo what language do they use to train their dogs in Germany.
That brings me to 1 of the 2 life questions that I have.
When a dog is thinking, are they speaking a language in their head or is it woof woof woof.
the second one I would love to know.
When I learned colors, I know the sun to be yellow. If I were to look through your eyes would the sun still be yellow? Is what you see as yellow the same thing that I see as yellow or could your yellow be my red?
Quote: onenickelmiracleWhy doesn't the block thread button work on this thread?
Made me look. Good one. Lol.
Rhetorical joke, I assume.
Why do they call it Rhode Island when it's neither a road, nor an island?

Oh, you're right. I love FarSide, but I just did it from my poor memory.
Everything is getting blurry. Memories are merging!!!
