Post the things you've always wondered about or your random thoughts and see if someone can answer it.

Like:
How do those 'Keep Off The Grass' signs get there?

It can be totally random!

"What did cured ham actually have?"

Curing is a process used to preserve food. So, my guess would be that the ham was cured of the possibility of going bad quickly. :-)

Okay, one more, and then I'm done.

"What was Captian Hook's name before he had a hook for a hand?"

In the original novel, Captain Hook was called Captain Hook even before his hand was...erm... non-surgically removed.

(If the moon was made of cheese, what kind would it be? )

Cheddar =)

(When French people swear, do they say pardon my English? )

They simply would not speak or use the word 'English')

Cheers to all our French sleuthers ;)

yeah...but why the hell do English speakers say 'pardon my French' when they swear in English anyways?

'Phoque' (pronounce it carefully, please) just means "seal", y'know?

Also: what's the deal with hot dogs coming in 12-packs and buns coming in 8-packs? Don't pigs eat wheat??? What the phoque???

And, Violt, I must respectfully disagree. The moon is CLEARLY made of gorgonzola...see the blue veins? Them's where it keeps the space age-flavour :)

Just realised that I've been wondering for some time about Mary Jane shoes - who was Mary Jane?

Am now convinced I've found a split end on a hair on my arm. Maybe it's just the light.

From Wikipedia, the site where you can find pretty much anything:

"Mary Jane was a character created by the Brown Shoe Company. Mary Jane would often tag along with Buster Brown, another marketing character by the Brown Shoe Company."

If the countries, Hungry and Turkey were to fight, would they use gravy as their ammunition?

The moon is made of swiss

Ok, I could not pass this up:

1. Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

2. You know the signs on restaurant doors? No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service? What if someone goes in with No Pants? Would the restaurant still have to serve them?

And in line with the arm hair mysteries:

3. Why doesn't the hair on your arms grow as fast as the hair on your head?

Oh and the moon is most surely made of Swiss cheese.

May I just say that Anikka is the cutest thing ever! And only Cordy would have split arm hairs!

*waves the arm in question cheerily and tries to remember what else she's told cenoe about that would have been better kept quiet*
