Also, liking that banner. How is it, not even having a choice about which banner you have on your page? XD

=P

I was watching Scrubs this morning and they were talking about how the female doctors end up doing stuff just cause the guy doctors would prefer things done a certain way (no sexual content intended). And I gotta admit that it really happens. Example: I like the banner that I made on Paint, but everyone else prefers this banner (Thanks again, eagly!). So since this one is prefered over the one I made, I keep it set. I mean, it is my account so I can have whatever banner I want, but I still choose the one you guys like. I swear, I haven't a mind of my own.

ANYWAYS

I was on this website that I'm sure ALL of you have heard of. Its a dating site for geeks to find their true love in geek form XD The site has a list of 10 ways to attract a geek. Its really funny cause I gotta say that I've done everything on the list except for #8. http://www.gk2gk.com/topten/waystoattract.asp

Its also got this page with Top Ten Questions Asked By Geeks, which I'll ask you guys to pick one and then answer in my comments ^_^ kthxbai

-Why do they put braille dots on the keypad of a drive-up ATM ?

-You know how most packages say "Open Here." What is the protocol if the package says, "Open Somewhere Else?"

-If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights?

-If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen?

-If nothing ever sticks to Teflon, how do they make Teflon stick to the pan?

-If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

-How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the morning?

-Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

-Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?

-Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

-Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

I don't spend a lot of time looking at banners. If I did, I would change my one every half an hour. Just the way life is.

1) Keypads are mass produced not made for a specific purpose. It is cheaper to have one-size fits all than individually made keypads.

2) Don't open the package. It's clearly an April Fools' gag.

3) For a start, you can't go the speed of light. Secondly, the light produced would be going at the same speed as you and as such would never leave the lamps. In fact, you would never see the light.

4) The cat would land on its side, face or bum.

5) Teflon is chemically bonded to the pan under immense pressure and heat whereas simply cooking doesn't produce anywhere near the temperatures let along the pressures required to bond to Teflon.

6) They lock the shop in the case of an emergency (such as after a robbery) or during a count-up of all the stock.

7) Snow plows are often self-owned and privatised but contracted by the state. The man simply walks to the snow plow from his front door =D

8) A world without hypothetical situations would not involve sentience of any sort - the primary movitation for a sentient being is self-preservation, without hypothetical thought, it is impossible to predict the future and hence sentience cannot exist. If one cannot think, then one cannot exist to put it another way. If I cannot doubt through hypothesis my existence then I cannot exist in the first place. A world without hypothesis would be inhabited by purely the most instinctive of creatures whose learning scheme is the brute-force method of evolution. It is a calmer world but a plainer world.

9) Yes, because murder is illegal and in France, the murder of a mime is punishable by death, such is their love of all things street artisty.

10) The interstate highway is a designation for funding and maintainence, originally formed to fund literal interstate highways on the mainland. It is simply the extension of legislation that has created interstate highways on Hawaii.

11) Phonetic is derived from the Greek "phonos" and predates the actual word "phonetic."

@ 11 That didn't really answer the question.

Juju 16 years, 6 months ago

Fine.

11) The spelling of phonetic came before not only the meaning but also the standardisation of speech.

-Why is Juju such a party-pooper?

Juju 16 years, 6 months ago

You probably haven't been here long, so let me fill you in: I answer questions.

Biggs 16 years, 6 months ago

You're quite knowledgeable. I concede to your astounding mental library of facts, and your unfailing logic. And further I apologize for calling you a party pooper, I simply thought you were answering these questions in an attempt to be a jerk, again my apologies.

Hey, I'm not necessarily correct. Feel free to put down your own answers, I'd be interested what people have to say on them =)

You're suprisingly deep for someone with a pair of underwear for an avatar.
