My question is, what is the deal with your tongue?

I have an oral fixation, so, I'm not the person to ask....lol

When school nicknames are gender-specific, why don't they use the correct name for the other gender teams?

Ewes vs. Lady Rams
Fillies vs. Lady Colts
Etc.

I'm so guilty & never thought of that!!! I may have to change my cheering habits!



What's the deal with 'spammers'? Do they make money for spamming sites or is it just a weird 'wanting to aggravate ppl' thingy??? I truly don't understand why anyone would want to spam a site, unless perhaps there is a monetary payoff?

Wheres the yellow line on the football field?

Its there on tv.

This is gonna sound so stupid of me... (but what's new? lol)


When they first started doing the yellow highlight line for downs on the games on TV, I thought they ACTUALLY somehow was doing that on the field & thought it was the most awesome (& incredibly fast! lol) thing I'd ever seen!!!

OMG! A question I've been asking for decades! I've been wondering about this forever (why the layout of our keyboard is the way it is?) & just accidently came across a fairly decent explanation!
Had no idea I/we had an option now, either!!



QWERTY vs. Dvorak

In the early days of the typewriter, one of the most confounding dilemmas was creating a keypad that didn't get its works all jammed up. Inventor Christopher Latham Sholes came up with a novel and effective solution in 1873: rearranging the layout of the keys so that frequently used letters were spaced in a manner that largely prevented their mechanisms from clashing with each other. His system, to which we now refer as QWERTY, worked well, and eventually pushed out all the competing layouts. The only problem is that, apparently, the QWERTY layout is pretty darned inefficient, and is an ergonomic nightmare that promotes fatigue. One researcher working in the 1930s, a Dr. August Dvorak, created a keyboard layout that actually made typing easier, faster and more comfortable. Despite a wealth of evidence supporting his layout's value (as his students readily and repeatedly whupped most QWERTY typists in competition), world events conspired against him. The economics of the Great Depression, followed by the materials shortage of WWII and the reticence of already established QWERTY training schools, meant that no one was willing to give him a chance. Though tons of alternatives are available today (and the Dvorak layout is offered on most PCs as an option), the vast majority of keyboards are QWERTY.

You know that pad they lay on the ground and move every ten yards? I use to think there was a laser light in there and that was how they got the yellow highlight to show up on the TV. That was untill I seen it in person and couldn't figure out where the yellow line went!!! DUH!!!!!
