    No, it smells like a monkey. Although why would a monkey want to smell it's own fart.

    Why was there a hoopla over Jennifer Lopez saying the n-word but nothing has been said when Fat Joe and Big Pun have repeatedly used it?

    Here's one that I've been wondering about for a while. You know Stuart Scott's catchphrase, "Ai papi, I didn't know you could do it like that." Does anyone know the origin of that phrase. I always thought it was a Film/TV quote, but I did a google search of it and found nothing. Did Scott just make it up or is that a standard Latino slang phrase.

    Here are a couple.

    1. Why is it that when you fill out forms under the Race section i am supposed to put "white" and not "asian" ?

    I'm persian = Im from Iran, Iran is in the middle East and the Middle east is part of the Continent of Asia hmmm so technically i am Asian right? But everyone says no. Please proove it otherwise, and why just the oriental countrys that are on the same continent are considered asian.

    2. Why is there brail on ATM machines all these years since the begining of ATM times. I mean i understand that Blind people can feel and read the numbers and buttons but how are they supposed to read the screen?

    I understand now i believe there are talking ATM's but they only came out recently. So all these years they have been putting it on for nothing.

    Yep, it pisses me off too, And the worse part is that im dark skinned, so the whole putting down white doesnt go good with me. My governmet teacher got in an argument with me telling me i was messing up the stats and such by putting asian, she gave a lecture about how I was white. :rolleyes: , she said that I am caucassian and hence shoudl put white. Im gunna go with OTher until they get, Middle east or south asian as a category.

    How did man discover the onion was edible? It grows underground, and if you cut it, it irritates the eyes causing tear production.

    So what what indomitable soul soldiered through all that to discover that onions are indeed edible.

    He's dead man. He either landed in a forest in pitch black night - resulting in probable injury(in which case he gets caught) or death or in the middle of 50 degree water - which means he had only a few minutes to get out of the water or die - burdened with a parachute, and two sacks of money - and wearing a suit.

    Nah, D.B. Cooper is D-E-D, dead.

    Why does "cargo" go by sea and "shipping" go by land?

    Actually, keeley had it right. The four seamer is a power pitch, very little movement - just straight from the hand to the glove. The two-seamer still goes pretty fast, but it sinks slightly and tails away depending on the arm of the guy throwing.
