Why do we park in a driveway, but drive on a parkway?

I do drive on driveways. You telling me you push your car on and off them? I don't park on parkways because it would impede traffic and be very dangerous.

Pulling in and out of a driveway isnt really driving...which begs the next question...why is it called pulling in and out of a driveway when you're actually pulling onto and off of it? And why is it called pulling instead of driving? Why do we 'pull over' to the side of a road?

I just blew my own mind.

Generally you do not park on a driveway.

False.

I haven't parked either of our cars into our two car garage in ten years. Guess I'm the exception to the general rule.

What would happen if I flew south, to the South Pole? Would I just stop, or keep going?

Good job. That IS a stupid question.

Wish I could take credit for it...

Aviation question:

Can you fly over the south pole?

For example, given the right amount of fuel, airplane, etc, could you fly out of South America heading directly south and at some point reach North America / Canada or does it not work like that?

Driveways are called driveways because you drive on them from the street to your parking location (garage/car-hole). Generally you do not park on a driveway, and it's not a driveway unless it connects from the street to a parking structure. If there's no garage at the other end, it's not a driveway. It's just a carport or a bunch of asphalt in your yard.

Parkways are called parkways because they are intentionally lined with trees to look like a park. The term was originally used only for scenic drive highways. Usually, such roads had tolls to pay for maintenance of the scenery, and "parkway, which looks like a park" sounds better than "toll road, which you'll have to pay to use". The alternate was, of course, the one you don't have to pay to use, the "freeway".

Thank you, Buzz Killington.

X2. What a jerk. Also, why a buzzkill? A buzz isn't alive so how can it die? Or was there a guy named Buzz who liked to have fun but got murdered by a real serious person?

As the owner you could name if whatever you wanted. My last dog was called Dallas.

It's just simple logic.

I haven't been to any doctors since I moved to this area and #### is starting to pile up. I need to see a dermatologist, and ear guy, and someone for my knee. Do I just find these guys and call their offices directly or am I supposed to go to a GP and get referred to them?

What is the opposite of time?

And don't say "timelessness" unless you can successfully definte it, giving examples.

Timelessness

Definition - The lack of a measurable time frame as defined by logical means.

Example - The prospect of the Raiders having a winning record is timelessness.
