hbkbkk Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Why do kamakize pilots wear helmets? if 7-11's are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors? How does the door close after the bus driver gets off? Why don't women put the toilet seat up when they are done instead of us always having to put it down? If vegetable oil is made out of vegetables and olive oil is made out of olives, then what is baby oil made out of? Why do they sterilize a lethal injection? Why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? What are some of your deep thoughts...

atomicflower Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? it goes by harden of the carbon stick. and #2 is suitable for gerenal usage: not too soft so the carbon doesnt stick on your own sleeve or your fist and create dark dirty lines follow your moving hand when you write. # 1 is the hardest: use for drafting...and the line doesnt visibly appear. that's for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesnash Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Kamikaze pilots wear helmets for the sound protection they offer ie for comfort reasons- any fool can be uncomfortable on the way to certain death(!!) On the interesting pencil topic, here in UK we appear to have a far greater selection- the softest of which is called 9B, then comes 8B all the way to 2B, then HB then 2H all the way to 9H which is the hardest.... a total of 17 types of penci leads if i am not mistaken. I believe HB is the most popular. Oops, took your thread too literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicM Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Ok, here goes my first post! But I have some of the really important facts for all of you: * A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. * If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before. * A fool and his money are soon partying. * Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow. * If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments. * I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. * Borrow money from pessimists-they don't expect it back. * Half the people you know are below average. * (99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.) * 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. * A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good. Hope everyone enjoyed this one, I will try to keep it up [Edited on 26/5/2004 by SonicM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
