I'll let you know in 6 hours and 40 minutes, when I'm in the same situation.

Why are there different time zones, rather than people just associating daylight/twilight with a different time of day?

(this is actually not such a stupid question IMO...)

Because time zones were probably invented by an NT who likes to complicate life.

(I can't help wondering if the acronym "KISS" -- keep it simple, stupid -- was first spoken by an Aspie to an NT!)

Why do they call it "Bluetooth" technology if it's not blue and has no teeth?

It was named after a viking - Harald Bluetooth, and although I imagine he had teeth, I doubt they were blue.

Why is there firewire technology if the wires are not on fire?

The fire is on the INSIDE of the wire, you just can't see it.

Why is the "fuzz" that sometimes shows up on TV called "snow" when it is black as well?

It's the same reason why people say that it's "snowing" ash when a certain kind of volcano blows up. Uh oh....Our TV's are melting!! ! What's happening to my brain!! !

Which Harry Potter character is most like you?

Sleep is grossly overrated, I would only recommend it in the most dire circumstances.

What about Gnawbone, IN, wouldn't that be another great address?


(Yes, that's real, too. Can you imagine the tough times the pioneers must have had that inspired them to name their town 'Gnawbone'?)

Oops, that was almost like 2 questions, wasn't it? Damn, did it again, didn't I? 5H1T!

I don't know...I wouldn't like the people being all obsessed with gnawing bones! jk/lol The pioneers of that town must have had a great time, since they all loved gnawing on chicken bones and fish bones. So, they just decided that they'd name it Gnawbone!

How would you be able to describe color to a blind person?

It's because the chances of the weatherman being right are as big as a giant meteor made of Cap'n Crunch hitting the earth. lol

Who started the practice of putting milk in your cereal?

I think it started by mistake when a farmer's wife noticed the baby eating the oats off the floor of the barn after the milk was spilled during frantic milking.


Has anyone experienced frantic milking?
