Why do people say "alot" or "allot" when they mean to say "a lot"?

It makes me hurt on the inside.

I'm kinda confused. I know "a lot" is two words, but I'm still confused.

Unless you meant "spell" instead of "say"
 
Whats with you people, DQ sells more than / then ice cream - do you not need awesome chicken sandwiches in the winter?

My mysteries:

~ than / then (I suppose I could look this up but, ehh)

~ 0.99999999... DOES NOT EQUAL 1. Show me all the 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 proofs you want, all it proves is that fractions are bad math

~ Gravity - what causes it?

Then is time related. Just remember Then has an E, and so does When. "And Then She left"
Than is for a comparison. " I'm stronger than her"

wiki on gravity said:
Modern physics describes gravitation using the general theory of relativity, in which gravitation is a consequence of the curvature of spacetime which governs the motion of inertial objects

That darn spacetime is at the root of everything confusing!
 
Why does walmart pay people to stand around and do nothing? Ok, I can understand the people at the door, even though they sit on there ass most of the time, they have to put stickers on bags and shit but at my walmart there are people who stand at the top AND bottom of the escalater, they dont greet you, they dont help you in any way they just stand there... the fuck?
 
This intriguing photo, taken in 1919, was first published in 1975 by Sir Victor Goddard, a retired R.A.F. officer. The photo is a group portrait of Goddard's squadron, which had served in World War I aboard the HMS Daedalus.
An extra ghostly face appears in the photo.
In back of the airman positioned on the top row, fourth from the left, can clearly be seen the face of another man. It is said to be the face of Freddy Jackson, an air mechanic who had been accidentally killed by an airplane propeller two days earlier.
His funeral had taken place on the day this photograph was snapped. Members of the squadron easily recognized the face as Jackson's. It has been suggested that Jackson, unaware of his death, decided to show up for the group photo.

Joke post?


Why won't MLB help end my suffering by either killing the Pirates or forcing them to do something to at least try and get to .500 every I dunno 5 years.

You have 2 Superbowls in the past 5 years quit your bitching!!

I'm from Cleveland and would kill for either the Browns, Indians, or Cavs to win it all....preferably the Cavs to rub it into NBA Gafs face.

Why do shipments go in cars while cargo goes on ships?
I don't know, shipments usually go in vans or trucks. And cargo can go on an airplane as well.

You could use shipment to describe what's being transported on a plane or ship, or cargo to describe what's being carried by truck etc. Perhaps more rare but perfectly acceptable.

This thread started with the Bermuda Triangle.

I still didn't take this as a joke thread. One exploring mysteries and insolite stuff will question most phenomenon, will discover interesting things and also fake stuff and conspiracies. You never questionned yourself on the Bermuda Triangle before arriving at the conclusion it was fake?

Why is it that restaurants near the beach charge an arm and a leg for seafood yet the price of sandbags is rather universal? Shouldn't sand be much more expensive the further away from the beach you are? Shouldn't seafood be cheaper on the shore?
 
Why do dvd players need cleaning when game consoles that play dvds possibly even more than the dvd player never need cleaning?

Why do they show commercials for places like Dairy Queen, Sonic etc. when there are none in a 100 mile radius of your home!!

Wow, you know the human soul, I hear people ask this all the time. They must have gotten a package deal.

I saw that often on old photos, from what I remember it's a camera issue or something (a previous photo remains burned in the device or whatever, I forget).
 
Something is driving me crazy.

There was a ghost film that was released in the last couple of years. It was a mockumentary shot with a camcorder, anyone remember the name of it?

How come everytime I take a shit, I piss too?

It's because the bladder muscles are also responsible for the anal sphincter; a full bladder exerts more pressure than a full intestine (with some exceptions) which is why you don't usually shit yourself when you pee.
