      If he sincerely thought it would grow and it doesn't that isn't a mystery because he didn't lie, he was just wrong.

      To stop superglue going hard in the tube you need to leave some air in the tube. Oxygen stops it setting.

      If vegetarians love animals so much why do they eat all their food?

      Actually it's the solvent evaporating, no reaction to oxygen at all.

      I always thought that a thin layer of superglue does stick to the tube - and that the rest of the superglue then doesn't stick to that layer.

      You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

      One would think it's going to be something beautifully dramatic according to the myths and legends.

      Well, it's not.

      I am really sorry to bust the myth: it's just a bit of random quacking, nothing too pleasant for the ear, hardly a "song" anyway.

      That story of them staying together for life is a pile of sh1t too. I got myself a male last year and guess what, his bitch is with another swan male now...

      I've been watching her for a long time, she's still a bit lean, but gaining a bit of weight every month. She's almost ready now...

      If Jesus was Jewish, why the Spanish name?

      Why is there only one monopolies commission?

      What's "occasional furniture" the rest of the time?

      Why do young ladies wear a skimpy outfit on a night out and then spend the entire night either yanking it up or down or both every two minutes?

      Also why isn't the "stay logged in" thing on here left blank instead of always being ticked.

      Some kamikaze pilots had to fly out several times before they found a ship to hit, they had orders to "seek and destroy", but if they couldn't find a target, they were to come home!

      The smart ones had "poor eyesight" and survived the war.

      Why is rap/hip hop popular?

      Hip Hop is popular because the people involved in its production are talented from the person who develops the beat to the person on lyrics. Also excellent music in general

      Rap however is a completely different story there's no genre out there that became so sh*t so fast and sold out more.

      I've never seen a snowplough plough parked outside someone's house.

      So how do they get to the depot ?
