When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say? Why do you park in a driveway and drive in a parkway? Why do doctors call what they do practice? Shouldn't they be good at it by now? What happens if you drive at the speed of light and turn your head lights on? Is there another word for synonym? Why don't psychics predict the winning lottery numbers and retire? Who was the idiot that decided to put an "s" in the word lisp? What was the best thing before sliced bread? When your pet bird sees you reading the newspaper, does he wonder why you're just sitting there, staring at carpeting? If a rabbit's foot was actually lucky, wouldn't it still be attached to the rabbit's leg?

Why is "Bra" singular.....and "Panties" plural???????? "Bra" is short for "Brassiere," a French word that originally meant "a child's jacket with sleeves." It derives from an Old French word for "arms." Eventually, the word came to refer to the modern undergarment. Thus, by replacing one word with the other, we go from "a brassiere" (singular) to "a bra" (also singular). "Panties" derives from the word "pants," which was shortened from the original word "pantaloons," another French word. "Pantaloons" originally referred to a general style or class of garments either worn in Venice or assumed to have originated there. (That word was further derived from Saint Pantaleon, the patron saint of Venice.) Again, by replacement, "he's wearning pantaloons" (plural) became "he's wearing pants" (also plural). This unfortunately doesn't explain why people chose to shorten the term "Pantaloons" to "Pants" rather than "Pant," nor why "Brassiere" wasn't shortened to "Bras" (even though that is the Old French word for "arms").

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

Why do banks charge a fee for Insufficient funds, when they know you have no money????? If people evolved from Ape's, Why are there still....Ape's???? What disease did "cured Ham" actually have???? Why do people pay to go to the top of tall buildings, just to pay to use binoculars to look at things on the.....ground????? And finally......What I need to know most.......... Why is "Bra" singular.....and "Panties" plural???????? Inquiring Minds Need to Know!!!!!!! Because they know you'll eventually put money in, and they want it. Because not ALL existence evolves, some stay in their primitive form. Just look at X-Men, though fantasy as it may be, the concept of evolution portrayed in it, seems to be pretty precise. Because you can see far more of a wide and beautiful landscape from a rooftop. Plus, guys like us, are probably hoping some chick left her blinds open after a midday shower. Bra - singular; Bras - plural. Pantie - Singular; Panties - plural. Every time you say 'panties' and are in fact actually referring to one, you are actually the one saying it wrong. However, panties also sounds much better, I'm assuming. Since the phrase: "Oh baby I wanna take off them pantie." Sounds dumb. Thus, the word is always used in the plural.

What happens if you drive at the speed of light and turn your head lights on? Is there another word for synonym? Why don't psychics predict the winning lottery numbers and retire? Who was the idiot that decided to put an "s" in the word lisp? What was the best thing before sliced bread? When your pet bird sees you reading the newspaper, does he wonder why you're just sitting there, staring at carpeting? If a rabbit's foot was actually lucky, wouldn't it still be attached to the rabbit's leg? 1. If Cheese could talk, it'd probably say something common to it's lifestyle; like Bread for example. 2. A driveway leads to something, via a house. A parkway was originally denoted to places of beauty; thus, the term was coined more directed to the idea of 'parking here to see the beauty'. 3. Doctors call it a practice because you can't call yourself a 'professional' at something when each case, each person, and each operation is never, and will never be entirely the same. Thus it's called a practice over an expertise because if you were to refer to them as an expert, you'd expect no complications; which you can never predict. 4. The headlights wouldn't give you any actual lighting because you are traveling in the spectrum of its own range. Therefore, turning your headlights on may 'light' a small portion in front of your vehicle, but don't expect much assistance in 'seeing' anything from them. 5. Synonyms of synonym - Opposite 6. If you ask a psychic, the reason they can't predict winning lottery numbers is because they 'can't control what visions they see'. Also, another reason is said to exist in the theory that those with the gift of 'psychic ability' are often not allowed to see their own future; thus that type of prediction would lean towards self-preservation. 7. Lisp is a word people with it can't say. They always do that. Just like the phobia for the fear of long words, it's like 37 letters long. Just like people with a stutter.. 8. Before sliced bread? Free-thinkers. People. Maybe even the wheel, or fire. That's an opinion question, just like the fact not everyone agrees 'sliced bread' was ever great. 9. I don't know this one. I don't have a bird. However, if I did, I still doubt that's what he'd be wondering... I think he'd be more focused on how the h*** to get out of his own cage. 10. It's not meant to be lucky for the rabbit, it's meant to be lucky for the holder of it's foot. I could go into depth, but I doubt you'd want to hear it all.

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? That's like borderline racist, lol. The Dutch founded Holland. The Polish founded Poland. Call them what you want, but, I don't know if either term is actually 'politically correct'.

How come there aren't any B batteries? Old technology. There used to be 'B' batteries.

In Arkansas we had party lines before the telephone came out. It was called Holler. You stand on your hill and holler at your neighbor on the other hill. Sometimes you would get this holler on another hill that was farther away, "What?" So you would holler back, "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to your neighbor." Why is hollering okay but yelling is rude? Hollering is local but yelling is long distance.
