    Speaking of flies.....

    There are a couple in the house that are driving me crazy, and I can't get rid of them.

    Why do flies disappear as soon as you pick up the fly swatter????

    EXACTLY! Do they know what it's for?
    *Some people come into your life and quickly go, but some leave footprints on your heart and you are never the same*
    *We only fall so we can learn to pick ourselves back up*
    *Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take but by those that take our breath away*
    *Life is made of millions of moments, but we live only one of these at a time. As we begin to change this moment we begin to change our lives*

    Why have Americans chosen to use the phrase "how Come" when "why" conveys the same question?

    I don't see anything wrong with using "How come" ... after all, one would also have to use another word with "Why" like "why do ..." in many instances.

    Why do people become much ruder drivers during the "holiday" season?
