"Why is a slightly open door, called a jar?" Possibly from Scottish dialect 'a char' (turned a little way). Bill Hicks: 'One time me and three friends dropped acid and drove around in my dad's car. He has one of those talking cars, we're tripping, and the car goes, "The door is ajar." We pulled over and thought about that for 12 hours. "How can a door be a jar?" … "Why would they put a jar on a car?" … "Oh man, the freeway's melting!" … "Put it in the jar."' | |||

"If Cinderella’s shoe was the perfect fit, why did it fall off?" It wasn't a shoe but a slipper - designed to be easily slipped on or off. | |||

"Why are places for getting your nails done called nail bars? You don't have haircutting bars. And why are massage places called parlours? A parlour was a room in a home where you received guests and had conversations. Who decided to commandeer these words?" C14th parlour means merely 'room off a main hall offering some privacy'. Which could be an explanation or by C19th also means 'showroom for a business'. | |||

"Why don’t people learn from mistakes ? Or real question why don’t the human race learn from there mistakes "The oft quoted saying for this is 'Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It' but this is a mis-quote ('Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it' - George Santayana). The essential argument is that because humans die then each new generation will make the same 'mistakes'. Essentially we cannot learn from the past because we have not lived it and have no memory of it because we do not live forever. For personal mistakes it is possibly erroneous thinking of 'this time it will be different'. | |||

"What dick invented the English language to be so confusing. Lead and lead spelt the same but for a capital letter but two different words. Polish- polish Row - row Ahhhhhh" These are heteronyms (same spelling, different pronunciation/meaning). These English words are spelt from their etymology rather than their sound. In English the correct pronunciation when reading the word is inferred from the context. | |||

It is originally and C13th meant 'apartment in a monastery for conversations with outside persons'. As with many words in English they can take on different meanings over time. | |||

"Something that occurred to me a couple of years ago..... My sister and I only have sons, so an ancient genetic line of women going back to the dawn of human life has died with us. Made me kind of sad. Same for my brother and dad. Brother has no children and won't be procreating in the future, so that specific genetic material which has been passed down from father to son for millenia will die with my brother."

I understand where you are coming from, someone put it to me another way (I only have a lad, the only boy of his generation across both sides of the family).... he breaks the bond of a grandmother carrying their granddaughter before her daughter is born. As females are born with their eggs, our grandmothers technically carried two generations in their pregnancy. With each boy this connection is broken. | |||

"Cheese is just solidified milk solids. Why hasn't anyone invented a cheese milkshake?" No. Cheese is not solidified milk.

We know the ones we like as 'cheese' ...... It's a chemical reaction so you can't get the milk back from cheese they are two different substances. | |||

"Why do we say "Don't judge a book by its cover" when that's what book covers are for?" No. Book covers are to splash platitudes across like ...... If you read one book this year - make it this one..... or .... The most exciting new writer to come out of the ghetto.......... or ..... Written in blood on empty cigarette packs...... Just to get you to part with £16.99 | |||

"Something that occurred to me a couple of years ago..... My sister and I only have sons, so an ancient genetic line of women going back to the dawn of human life has died with us. Made me kind of sad. Same for my brother and dad. Brother has no children and won't be procreating in the future, so that specific genetic material which has been passed down from father to son for millenia will die with my brother. What if your sons have daughters? Won't that work? Or am I being thick? I suppose the x chromosome they supply to their daughter will have originally come from me, but it was the line of women, mother to daughter, being broken that felt poignant for some reason. I understand where you are coming from, someone put it to me another way (I only have a lad, the only boy of his generation across both sides of the family).... he breaks the bond of a grandmother carrying their granddaughter before her daughter is born. As females are born with their eggs, our grandmothers technically carried two generations in their pregnancy. With each boy this connection is broken. on this chain of thought (being born with all your eggs) and a conversation with a friend the other day about how she had double the eggs at 40 they expected her to have if we use birth control for years so don’t ovulate, why does that time not just get added to then end of our fertility window since our we still have eggs left " I'm really looking forward to not having periods once I'm well and truly in middle age. The thought of them continuing into my 60's or 70's fills me with horror! | |||
