Arrrr, (puts on glasses and tries to look entelijent hehe) when you dry yourself you rub some of your skin off, the dead cells - imagine what your towel would be like after a week without washing it. I would be full of your dead skin cells...aarrgh

Because he stole a strand of your hair, cloned you, swapped his brain to the clone. And so that is my crazy theory for your question. Or he got the sentence wrong.

Why are there so few doctors in the world?
Why are there so few doctors in the world?
Because it takes so much time and money to train doctors and once they get trained they are so far in debt that they form associations to limit the number of new doctors to keep their income up so they can pay off their debt. In countries without socialized medicine the governments often reimburses the doctors with less than it costs them to treat the poor. In countries where there is socialized medicine I doubt if the doctors can do much more than hold their own, they'll never get rich. Most doctors can't afford to go out to the Third World where their skills are really needed. IMHO

It takes as many nails as the person building it wants to use because they could build a house out of a billion nails or the could use no nails but use bolds brads glue screas etc. etc. etc.

Why would anyone lie on a bed of nails?
Why would anyone lie on a bed of nails?
Laying on a bed of nails wouldn't be that bad if there were enough of them and they were closely spaced, so that ones weight was evenly distributed over so many of them that they would fail to puncture your skin or even bruise. One good reason for doing this would be so that one would remember never to ever do it again. 
Would broken glass or hot coals be a better resting place?
Would broken glass or hot coals be a better resting place?
Well, depends. If you're wearing puncture resistant clothes (bullet-proof stuff) then broken glass is better and if yu're wearing heat-resistant clothes, hot coals are better. But if you're wearing both, broken glass is better since it is easily available.

Well I would get a better workout if it was a bit runny. I think watching someone try to walk or run on non-runny jello would be hilarious.

Maydmarion: Don't appogize for your multiple posts, which occur when the server is slow and we press the 'save post' button another time trying to speed it up. Instead look at the lower right of each of your posts, where you will find an 'edit post' and a 'delete post' button. Use the 'delete post' button, then I won't have to, for I have already deleted two of your extra posts in two other threads today and I have yet to do so for the above posts, though I will do that when I finish this post, not that I mind doing this for you, but you should learn how to do it yourself. 
There are now 296 @2330 UTC (GMT) and most of our members are readers who have yet to build up their courage to add their two pence worth about some of the tripe we have fun spouting here in the taverns.
I heard today on the radio that there are EU regulatations pertaining to the straightness of bananas, cucumbers, and zuchinni.

@ Grondy: well people have to discuss something in the slack season...
@ LA_86: do you think a helmet would matter if your shute didn't open? I think you would just be dead with a helmet on your head then.
Why is it that when I look for something I always find it in the last place I look?

Why does my school end 18 days later than most schools in the USA?
Why does my school end 18 days later than most schools in the USA?
Well, I doubt if it is because your school starts later or that you are slower learners, so it must be so you can learn more than the other guys and thus have a better chance of getting ahead in life.

In a funny mood, aren't you, Maydmarion?Well, when they decided to give the old posts a date, it was also decided they should all carry the same date for purposes of clearness and the first convenient date found was January 1, 1970.

how many stars are there in the Universe?and does the Universe have an end?
there are really only 5 stars...the rest are just reflected by billions of mirrors that the government has placed in the sky, making us think that there are a lot of them, when really, there isn't. and the universe does not go on forever, in fact, it ends at our moon.
