Because the constant tumbling confuses the sense of direction that their sock drawer homing instincts rely on. The scientific proof is that socks that are line dried are able to return home more successfully, even when blindfolded by a blind person.

Why are pixies compelled to steal whenever they encounter pens and pencils ?

They communcate through visual signals, which they perceive all the better for having three eyes.

How come laurie has been posting mostly at more reasonable hours, these past three days, until this post?

Why does mint feel cool in your mouth but not on your hands?

voralfred · Post by **voralfred** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 3:52 pm

For the same reason that chili peppers feel hot in your mouth but not on your hands.

Why don't people eat chili peppers together with mint?

Why is it that when you feel icky the day just drages when you want it to go fast so you can go to bed?

Why do bosses want you to go to work even if you're sick, but then complain about low office productivity due to too many people that are out sick?

Because you are not gross enough to fake a fit of coughing that will loosen up that phlegm then really hack up that goo and "miss" your hanky by "mistake".

Indian cuisine actually swears by this combination. Well, not the pepper in one hand and a sprig of mint in the other.

I have a vague memory of a snack recipe where the dip consisted of mint and yoghurt. The snack itself was highly peppered,

but it was yummy!!!!! I have forgotten the recipe but I still sweat thinking about it because I went overboard with the pepper.

Do you think you'd get a sick leave, doing that, or get fired?

sweetharleygirl · Post by **sweetharleygirl** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 11:25 am

You never know unless you try.

Would you be brave enough to try this tactic?

umsolopagas · Post by **umsolopagas** » Wed May 06, 2009 9:36 am

Well, wisdom says that real bravery is the presence of mind to go ahead and do something despite any trepidation.

Will that satisfy this phlegmatic spate of questions?

No

Will anything?

Can you shave with Okham's Razor?

Post by **Darb** » Sat May 09, 2009 4:50 pm

Yes, but I found it's single blade edge frequently gave me philological razor burn, which is why I switched to my Shick twin-blade razor wit a few years back.

Only if the poetry is about rabbits.

Is Laurie's hammer

Where is the nearest wordsmithy?

Because it is cleverly written.

Why ask why?
