i didn't think that color wouldbe quite so genetically linked. Thanks for the picture to prove it wrong :)

our next door neighbor also has 2 black females (mother & daughter) in fact she (momma) had 3 black females & 1 black male:D

My sister's schnauzer is black, and she's a female....:)

Somehow color must be linked though, because its *very* rare for a calico cat to be male.

p.s. Tonya what you said about pkg and your statement just about had me in tears LMAO! :D

I have a book about calicos and tortis, and it says that if one is a male that it has a genetic defect :eek:

I have a stupid question lol

Why did the word "bitch" pertaining to a female dog, suddenly turn into a bad word? Personally, I don't believe that female dogs are that hard to live with...except Timber..

I would say NO b/c look at Miss Daisy of the Daisy and Perry fame.
Ms Jackiedaisy's Daisy is black.

sorry KayAnn, answered before I saw your post!
:o

This might be just my place of work, and It might just be a pet Peeve not a dumb question. But as I work in a small hospital why is it if people get lost or turned around And you ask them if they need help they get nasty? Excuse me I know where I am going and apparently you don't!

If someone is on a major Highway Like I75, and the Speed Limit signs say
70mph
55mph
or something like that
can a person get a ticket if they tell the officer that they just added the numbers together?

I couldn't think of any stupid questions, so I posted stupid questions I get asked.

ok I work at a post office & the one question that I get a little too often is, what do I do with this? & they're holding a stamp :mad: :mad: :mad:

I swear to god my face must turn red every time I get asked that. I understand if its a kid or a person not from around here, but come one white people!! white people in suits r the worst! they ask the stupidest questions, that all canadian/us people.

please sign the clear window means: Sign ur damn name... grrrr

please fill out this customs slip (it asks 3 little questions).. poeple say: what do I do with this? Do I have to fill out this part?


AHHHHHHHHHH...

That's not true. Color is not related to sex in schnauzers ... or in any dog that I'm aware of. I groom several black, female schnauzers. Some colors/patterns of cats are linked to sex ... i.e. female calicos.

Here's my dumb question:

A chicken or duck or whatever lays a certain number of eggs before they begin to set on them. This is called a "clutch" of eggs. Let's say the size of the clutch is 26 eggs ... so the bird lays an egg every day for 26 days, but it doesn't set on the eggs until they are all laid. So ... for almost a month, the eggs are just laying there in the nest. The temperature can vary a lot depending on where this is .... over 100 degrees to below freezing at night. So ... after the 26th day, the bird sets on the eggs and all the babies hatch weeks later, right? Why don't the eggs get rotten or go bad during those days before the bird starts to set on them? And all the eggs hatch the same day, basically. So the babies inside only start to grow once the bird starts setting on them? What happens before? They just sit there in suspended animation? Creepy!!!!!!

wow, never thought of that :eek:

Mind you, I'm a waitress so I get asked alot of dumb questions:rolleyes:

What are crunchy fried oysters?
Well duh...their just what they say "crunchy fried oysters"!

I worked in a Catholic Church Parish Office for 16 years and two of the dumb questions we were asked were:

What time is midnight Mass?

and for those who didn't want to attend an entire Mass on Ash Wednesday,

What time are they putting the ashes on?

We were at Red Lobster the other night for dinner, and I was so happy to see "Crunchy Fried Oysters" on the menu, finally!! :) I didn't eat any though. Are they good, Anna???

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, all year around, why do they have a lock on their door?
