    A follow-up sent to me yesterday; was posted in here in 2004, but is worth a repeat (IMO) How Do You Decide Whom To Marry? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. (Alan...

    Science explained....

    These are "supposedly" answers taken from grades 5 & 6 science exams....there is an eerie logic to a few of them. You can listen to thunder after lightening and tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don't hear it you got hit, so never mind. Talc is found on rocks and on babies. The...
