Guest deleted156886133 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 A: Now how would I know? I don't live there and don't plan on going either. Too damned hot! I hear that the search engine that rhymes with bugle knows a lot of things. Personally, I'm not a frequenter but perhaps you should query it. Q: What was the question I was going to ask?

zixi Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 A: The question you were going to ask was "What was the question I was going to ask?" Q: How (and why) did the letters in the English alphabet get into the order they are in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted156886133 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) A: Long, long ago in Great Britain there lived a vicious tyrant king who already knew how to read and wanted his kingdom to be able to read all about the new taxes they were going to have to pay. Wisely, he knew the first step should the familiarization of the letters of the alphabet. So, he summoned his scribe and had him write down, in no particular order, the letters and come up with a lesson plan. Coincidentally, his very beautiful and musically talented daughter strolls in and, intrigued by the scribe's scribblings, walks over and peers over his shoulder. Sensing her presence, he asks, "Would you like to read the letters, my lady?", and then hands her the parchment. She ponders the scribblings for a few moments and then begins to sing the most enchanting rendition of what we now know as the Alphabet Song. The king is mesmerized as he listens but then sobers as she concludes. 'This will be how my kingdom shall learn how to pay taxes more efficiently!", he proclaims and then asks his daughter to sing her song to the kingdom so that they may also learn to sing the song and thus learn how to read. She agrees. He then instructs the scribe to continue devising a lesson plan based upon his daughter's song. He will call a gathering at first light and his kingdom will come. The next day, with daughter at his side and the not-so-subtle freshly serviced guillotine on display (with attending executioner on stand-by), the king makes his grand announcement. And that's how we learned our ABCs, folks! Q: Where did I come up with that? Edited August 11 by UsernameWithA9 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted156886133 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 A: They get bored and with nothing else to do, succumb to sleep. Not like they can get up and leave. Q: Would my answer to the previous question been funnier if the daughter had been hard-to-look-at ugly yet still be so musical and vocally talented?

Oblivionaddicted Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) It all depends if the length of your answer is likely to make the reader's eyes "fall asleep" or not. Since the USA are traditionally ruled by WASPs and since the wasps naturally have a stinger, can we consider the stinger missile as a natural american creation?

Pagafyr Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 A: WASPs in the fauna world don't have stingers. They have pinchers. When they pinch our skin it really hurts leaving a nasty bite mark. Bees are the ones with stingers. They have sacks full of poison that gets pumped into the place they stick their stinger. Once they sting you they lose the barbed stinger, their sacks of poison, and die. I like the old saying about spiders webs catching flies, where Wasps break through because they are fast and break the web because Wasps really are fast flying fauna so they break the web when they fly at it. Q: Did you know that a song hit number one that never was intended to? Written by the writers and a recording company who were trying to fill side B on a record for Radio Station that would never be heard? Created by a band that never intended to put it on any of their records. And it got the attention of a recording studio owner after he heard it. He invented a band, got some guys to sing it, and it was named The STEAM. The song is still very popular today.

Guest deleted156886133 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 A: Nunh uh. That's not true. It was a member of Sha Na Na who wrote that song about a fan in a rush to get to one of their concerts. As he passed a woman on his way to the venue, she asked, "Where ya going in such a rush?" The fan, who stuttered, replied, "I-I-I'm going to see Sha Na Na Na Na. H-Hey hey girl. G-G-Goodbye." Jon Bowzer Bauman somehow heard about this dedicated fan and immortalized him in a song. Q: How are the effects of pharmaceuticals determined?

Oblivionaddicted Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Through the effect of a meditation or medication, I guess it depends if the product if supposed to cure dyslexia or not. If I'm talking about a very healthy taekwondo player, do I have to say the person is alive and kicking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
