Twiglet, the last question. Probably because the bottling process isn't sterile and bacteria could grow?

Not me! My dh! And don't argue with him, he's got a pig plane and he isn't afarid to use it

Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?

Why does eating curry make your nose run?

Why are they called stairs inside, but steps outside?

good question?

Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date?
so the corporate bastards can make you buy more and get more and more in mineral water debt as the mineral water debt society for the poor who can't afford mineral water any more can prove.

I'd figure that anyone who can dig down through 6 ft of dirt will not be put off by a little nail

SD he is very, very nice to them. As he has always said only an idiot would be rude to the people who help to keep them safe!

hehehe.

maybe the coffin one is so that if the coffin barers drop the coffin the body doesn't fall out.

good answer!

I'm not sure if this is relevant to this thread (but then I'm not sure what this thread is about any more anyway) but my friend's dh was in the RAF and stationed for a while in the Falklands. They used to go on Penguin Patrol. Apparently when the planes took off the penguins would watch them go overhead, higher and higher, lifting up their heads to see and then they would overbalance and fall flat on their backs. The Penguin Patrol would then go out and stand them up again 'cos they couldn't get up by themselves.

It sounds very far fetched written down but he swore it was true (mind you, I'm a stupid person who breaks washing machines).

"why does eating a curry make your nose run?"

Taste is a combination sensation that is derived from sensations at the tounge {taste buds} as well as in the nose {olifactory nerves}. When these are stimulated to an excees, the mucous membrane responds in weeping fluids. Thus the "runny nose".

When the runniness is excessive, it can cause the lacrimal duct to become blocked, thereby no drainage from your eyes, and tearing can result. All because of excessive stimulation.

Marthamoo, it is true, but was banned!

So dh never did it...hope that will keep the penguin defense league off my tracks!

@ marthamoo

in the dictionary under gullible see.....

But they can get up on their own

bowling for penguins

I was told about the penguins too There's not much to do in the Falklands apparently.

Oh, and the top of your foot would appear to be the "dorsal surface" as opposed to the "sole/plantar surface".

Soupy haven't you got any dragon-lets to tend to?

What's the top of your arm called? The bit between elbow and shoulder? And nobody say "batwing" please
