A Few Thoughts (1 Viewer)

Just thinking

* If you attempt to rob a bank you won't have any trouble with rent/food bills for the next 10 years, whether or not you are successful.

* Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

* What if my dog only brings back my ball because he thinks I like throwing it?

* If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

* Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C?

* Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V?

* Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It just takes 75-100 years to fully work.

* Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty

* The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims".

* Intentionally losing a game of rock, paper, scissors is just as hard as trying to win.

* 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

* Your future self is watching you right now through memories.

* The doctors that told Stephen Hawking he had two years to live in 1953 are probably dead.

* If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When", you get the answer to each of them.

* Many animals probably need glasses, but nobody knows it.

* If you rip a hole in a net, there are actually fewer holes in it than there were before.

* If 2/2/22 falls on a Tuesday, we'll just call it "2's Day".

I am a twin and this is funny :lmao:

 
 Many animals probably need glasses, but nobody knows it.

I have actually thought of this.... of course, sometimes you do know it as when the dog gets old and barks at things until it gets up close and then realizes that it is a familiar everyday object and stops barking.. so of course the dog needs glasses, but everybody knows it.

But will he wear them if you got them?

 
Number 1 is wrong. When you go to jail or prison they charge you everyday you are there., but I still like the post.

My keyboard doesn't have upside down w or m keys, but an upside down w looks like an m a lot more than it does a right side up w.
Wat?  Write "swims" on a piece of paper.  Now look at the word upside down.  What's it say?  If it says "smiws" then I'm not sure what to tell you.  

 
Why isn’t a W called a double v?

APRIL 27TH, 2011

Q: Why is the letter W called “double u”? It looks like a “double v” to me.

A: The name of the 23rd letter of the English alphabet is “double u” because it was originally written that way in Anglo-Saxon times.

As the Oxford English Dictionary explains it, the ancient Roman alphabet did not have a letter “w.”

So in the 7th century, when Latin was first used in early Old English writing, it was necessary to invent a symbol to represent that sound.

At first, the sound was represented by “uu”—literally a double “u.”

It wasn’t written as a “v” because the letter “v” didn’t exist in Old English, as we’ve written before on the blog. And a double “v” would not have approximated the sound anyway.

The “uu” was replaced by another symbol in the 8th century, a character from the Runic alphabet called a “wyn.”

In the 11th century, the old “uu” form was reintroduced by Norman scribes in a ligatured (that is, joined) form, written as “w.”

But as the OED says, “It has never lost its original name of ‘double U.’ ”

 
If two people on opposite sides of the world accidentally drop a piece of bread, the entire world briefly becomes a sandwich. 

 
Why is that one vegetable called radish?  There's nothing remotely rad about it.  Call it hotish because it's sort of spicy.
