My daughter posed an interesting question last night. "If Earth is the third planet from the sun, aren't all countries third world countries?"
It's the presence of life form that make a planet a world and Mercury and Venus are uninhabited.

By our definition, yes.

...and Mercury and Venus are uninhabited.
As far as we terrans know, that is.

Back to the main topic, do you have to brush your teeth during a fast? And why do they call it a "fast" when it goes so slow?

Why do cowboys wear two spurs? If one side of the horse goes, so does the other.

Did American Indians "scalp" bald cowboys?

Why do we drive on a parkway, but park on a driveway?

What makes Teflon stick to the pan?

Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

When a prisoner is going to die by lethal injection, why do they swab the injection site with antibiotic first?

When yogurt goes bad, how can you tell?

We have a tenement building down the block numbered "666," which is known around the neighborhood as "The Devil's House." Sometimes you can see the Devil himself standing out front watching the traffic go by -- a pot-bellied, unshaven bald-headed man in baggy pants, suspenders, and a stained t-shirt. Somehow I thought he'd be taller.

That makes sense, probably only eats food that is bad for him. Pizza, cheesecake, Mexican coke, etc.

If some folks consider the number 666 to be evil, would 25.8069758 then be the root of all evil?

The first Apple Computer, the Apple I, had a list price of $666.

The numbers on a roulette table, from 1 to 36, add up to 666.

The sum of the squares of the first seven prime numbers is 666.

Viagra, the anti impotence drug, has a molecular weight of 666 g/mol. (hence the expression: Hung like the devil.)
