I've watched my daughter on MSN chatting to her friends on webcam.

My question is:

When people type LOL why do their faces invariably look serious? or sometimes they look just nuetral?

They are rarely laughing out loud! They should be typing NLOL (not laughing out loud) or LIBIFTSTLOLOMO (laughing inside but I feel too silly to laugh out loud on my own)

LOL (I realy did laugh out loud)

Thats why i coined CSTM (chuckling silently to myself). Lol is silly. i dont use it.

Because remote controls are very shy creatures who like to hide in dark places, like under newspapers, down the back of chairs etc. Anywhere they can't be observed.

Here's my question:
Why do other drivers feel the need to hit their gas pedal and "floor it" just to get in front of me and then immediately slow down and turn right?
This happens every day, and there must be some explanation for this behavior.

Yes that is annoying when ppl do that when driving. Probably just an NT thing that only they can understand.

Sometimes I actually laugh out loud, but I have never actually rolled on the floor laughing out loud.

My question is if we evolved from apes and monkeys, why do we still have apes and monkeys? :roll:

why do women want the toilet seat left down but they don't put it back up when they're through?

For the record, I always put it down. Not because I'm courteous but I'm afraid of the mist from the flush getting airborne.

Was ET a boy or a girl?

Why do human babies need so much attention and care when ALL other animals don't.

I've often wondered that too. The theory of evolution states that humans evolved from apes, then why aren't apes becoming humans, or at least, more human-like. The missing link should reappear, somewhere

I guess because the 'correct' position for the toilet is seat down, cover closed? Toilets without covers ...not sure

Firstly, my question: why the assumption that it's only men who drive past empty spaces to near the store, then start looking and end up parking just as close? It's my observation that women are just as likely to do this as men.

The explanation I've heard is that if it's late at night and dark, or they're not paying attention, they'll sit on the rim of the toilet, it's cold, shocking because of the cold, and they might then fall in. This is more of a problem with younger girls, but it probably just carries on.

Standing upright caused the pelvis to shrink to directly carry our weight, this means that there's a smaller space for a baby to travel through when it's being born. The baby has to be born when its brain is still developing. If it was born later as is the case with other animals, then the head would be too large to fit through the gap in the pelvis.

The theory of evolution actually doesn't state that, it says that we have a common ancestor. So at one point, there was a monkey-creature which diverged into two or more species, one of which eventually became humans, the other (or others) became the other primates such as apes and monkeys.

Both men and women use the toilet when the seat is down. For the most part, (with a few exceptions) only men can use it when its up. So therefore it makes the most sense to leave it down, and to put it down when you are through.

One could argue that woman could just squat over the seat but that is supposed to be very bad for your bladder as it reduces the likelihood that you'll fully empty your bladder therefore making you prone to infections later on in life

Hiya Cernunnos!
I had to choose a new name so I opened a dictionary and found Thyme. Wonder if weirdo is taken?
