    The Dumb Question Thread #2...

    I was doing a search and Wolf_Q's thread came up I thought it would be fun!

    So... this is how to do it~


    This is a thread for questions......ANY topic. Just things you've never dared ask, or maybe questions that you didn't think were worthy of their own thread. Not necessarily dumb questions either!

    When you have lost something, why do people ask you where it was lost? If you knew that, it wouldn't be lost.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    JOA,

    This is what I heard about animals circling an area before they sleep........


    It's an instinctual thing....to tamp down a bed of leaves or dirt so they can lie down.....

    Or it's one of those neurotic habits.....
    ------------------------

    DDM,

    LOL, seriously........I always get that!

    -------------------------

    Why is it called Playboy, when only adults can buy it???

    Why do they call a parkway a parkway when you drive on it, why do they call a driveway a driveway when you park on it?

    Why is lemon juice artificial and dishsoap is made with real lemon juice?

    In the English language why are there so many words that sound the same even some spelled the same but mean totally different things like:

    Read
    Red

    Peace
    Piece

    Effect
    Affect

    Perl
    Pearl

    Right
    Write

    And so on
    Happiness is the little things in life.

    That one we cannot answer. Rest in peace, Gracie. Say hello to my Gracie at the Rainbow Bridge.

    Cracking knuckles, courtesy of the Library of Congress website:

    Your joints can make a variety of sounds: popping, cracking, grinding, and snapping. The joints that "crack" are the knuckles, knees, ankles, back, and neck. There are different reasons why these joints "sound off".


    Escaping gases: Scientists explain that synovial fluid present in your joints acts as a lubricant. The fluid contains the gases oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. When you pop or crack a joint, you stretch the joint capsule. Gas is rapidly released, which forms bubbles. In order to crack the same knuckle again, you have to wait until the gases return to the synovial fluid.

    Movement of joints, tendons and ligaments: When a joint moves, the tendon’s position changes and moves slightly out of place. You may hear a snapping sound as the tendon returns to its original position. In addition, your ligaments may tighten as you move your joints. This commonly occurs in your knee or ankle, and can make a cracking sound.

    Rough surfaces: Arthritic joints make sounds caused by the loss of smooth cartilage and the roughness of the joint surface.

    Haha... thanks so much Karen! I've always wondered WHY you couldn't crack it again soon after! Awesome.

    I have a qeustion for you, If you have been poping your knuckels all your life, are your knuckels big? Or do the hurt every once and a while?

    Okay - in women's clothing, why is it so verboten to call someone short?

    The opposite of tall is short, right? No. In buying jeans, you can buy any given size - say 18, in "regular" "petite" or "tall." Well, petite means small in French, and if I'm a size 18 at 5' 6", I'm NOT small.
