If you don't know.....Ask?View MessagesIf you don't know.....Ask? “Everybody has a question that they can't answer, but maybe there's a genius in our midst that can answer it for you. Go ahead and ask, somebody might know. Why do you never hear of a psychic winning a lottery?” 3:15:11 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Why do they have take-out food at Hooters?” 3:19:52 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “They have take-out food at hOOters? How many of you apes actually GO to hOOters?” 3:22:59 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “We used to go there on Fridays a lot, because it was the closest "restaurant" to the plant and a favorite of the salesmen who were usually buying. And yes, they sell takeout. All the time people came in to pick up their orders. Kinda defeats the purpose, eh?” 3:37:14 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Not if you like the food but have your own hooters.” 4:00:44 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Of course I go to Hooters. They allow cigars there (Mall of America store) so when I sample a new stogie from the store downstairs, I have to smoke it first to see if I want a box. Hooters is just convienent, that's all.” 4:21:39 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “I just go for the articles.” 4:41:13 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “I don't understand "take out" food. I mean if you are out already... If yer gonna eat out, then eat out damnit! >;oP” 4:45:00 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “How come there's no blue food?” 6:20:30 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Where did the name hot "dogs" come from? Were there ever any dogs in them? It's bad enough that they contain ALL parts of the animal like, hooves, ears, nose, buttocks. Oh, and btw, happing barbequeing.” 6:29:09 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “when caught in a rainshower without an umbrella, does running to shelter rather than walking really make a difference in how wet your shoes and clothes get? "when the rain comes, they run and hide their head...they might as well be dead........when the rain comes.."the beatles” 6:34:52 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “and where exactly is the middle of nowhere?” 6:35:35 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Rabbitman - Thanks. I do have a question. It relates to statisitical theory: Why does the Central Limit Theorem work? That is, why do sums and averages of random variables from any distribution have a tendency to approach normality (Normal distribution) as the sample size increases? It's a really cool thing, but I have never heard an explanation why.” 6:41:00 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Why are there braile signs in the drive up window of banks?” 6:54:16 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “I saw a sign once that said, "No dogs allowed except for seeing eye dogs". What I want to know is, Who's reading that sign?” 7:06:27 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Ok so you've got a fly flying around in your car why is it ,it never smacks up against the rear window when you take off? No matter how fast you go? And likewise if you find yourself falling in an elevator if you time a big jump at the last second could you possibly save yourself from death? Hey, inquiring minds would like to know(without the work of course).” 8:21:40 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “I-am-om, I have heard that running in the rain will actually cause you to get wetter. The rain is falling at a given rate and the drops are dispersed in any given square foot at a fairly balanced ratio. So as you move perpendicular to the drops you are crossing the paths of more rain drops at a faster pace,hence you are wetter. Do I buy this? I dont know or care all that much. I just heard it once and it hung with me.” 8:43:50 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Regarding the elevator, jumping doesnt help because you have the momentum from the elevator falling already.” 8:45:23 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “If you can hunt deer during deer season, why can't we hunt tourists during tourist season?” 9:21:07 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “WHY?” 9:35:59 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “thiis is kind of like walking dude and idahos. at a historical sight in mexico. "if you dont understand spanish an english interpreter will be provided" it was written in spanish” 10:19:45 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “you drive on the parkway and park on the drive way....why?” 10:25:21 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “If nothing sticks to teflon, What makes teflon stick to pans?” 11:11:50 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “has anyone ever, ever seen a black deer?” 11:42:45 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “nope” 11:46:59 PM 6/27/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “wolfsister - The same question could apply to us jumping up in the air. The earth is spinning at a rate of 1000 mph on the surface. But if you jump straight up, you come straight down. The fly and the ambient air inside the car already have the same "relative velocity" as the car. Likewise, we have the same relative velocity as the surface of the earth.” 2:37:35 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Can someone explain how George W. Bush became president?” 6:47:56 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Your in Florida, You tell us!” 6:56:19 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “I think some folks here had trouble catching butterflies. Something like that. Did that answer your question?” 7:43:06 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “"If yer gonna eat out, then eat out damnit!" -AmyG a little stressed out, eh? well, THAT will relax ya!” 7:53:43 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “If ya get take out you can save on the drinks and tip, right rad?” 8:17:09 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “yep! take out makes for a cheap date!” 9:46:19 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “About that Rain question, TIME is an element of the problem...will you be walking fast, or strolling? The TIME you spend within a given area at a given rate of rainfall will also determine how wet you will become. The key to resolving this problem is to find a baseline for speed over distance at the given rate of rainfall, and moving at the base speed, no faster, no slower...That could be a shuffle or maybe a jog......Maybe a new thread to analyze/debate this is in order...NAH! LOL. Ruffian's Law: You can only get so wet, get there rapidly, and quit worrying about the rain, you have work to do.(If you pack properly, sensitive equipment is already waterproofed, and YOU will dry out...remember you are 98% water already).” 10:17:15 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “does anyone know the word that means both "poison" AND "cure"? i swear i remember learning that such a word existed in one of my college English classes, but i've been trying to figure out what it is for months!” 10:28:30 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “If I'm traveling in a car at the speed of light in the dark, would it help me see any better if I turned on the High Beams?” 10:29:11 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “how is American beer like sex in a canoe? give up? 'cause it's f*&*ing close to water!” 10:36:51 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Since down is so light, shouldn't it be called up? Who put the ram in the rama rama ding dong"” 11:13:07 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “mel did. And it's Llama rama ding dong!” 11:25:37 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Why are there Braille bumps on the drive up ATM's key pad? Why do I need to call a psychic to make an appointment? Shouldn't they know I'm coming? Why do they always ask me if I want fries with my order? If I wanted fries, wouldn't I have ordered them? Why can I go down in an elevator? Shouldn't I have to get into a descendor? Why do they call it a service station? I pump my own gas, check my own oil and tire pressure, and walk over to pay them. Exactly why kind of service are they providing?” 11:52:30 AM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “The bathroom. And Phil, if you're starting from a stop, the car, and it's contents, have no momentum. Relative velocity is zero. Accelerating hard pushes me back into the seat; why wouldn't an airborne fly smack into the rear window?” 12:11:46 PM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “it would... ...in a vacuum!” 12:32:34 PM 6/28/01 RE: If you don't know.....Ask? “Tommy, The service station has a bathroom, but I still have to wipe my own butt or do the last drop urinal dance.
