Why do all animals have the perfect crimp system when doing a dump,

Eliminating the need for toilet paper? Where as, sometimes on a single sit in, i can go through half a bog roll.

 

The richness of your diet. Eat kibble for a week and you won't be wiping any more, just polishing.

Why can a person be overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but never simply 'whelmed'?

 

I ended up googling this and apparently whelmed is an archaic term for being engulfed or submerged.

Sorry, just looked it up in the dictionary and realised the term Scotch is now considered offensive when used to describe people. Apologies if anyone took offence. 
 

However, given the amount of the stuff I’ve poured down my throat over the years, I reckon my original post still stands. 

No worries, l wasnt offended. Ive only ever heard English or Americans describe Scots as Scotch. Normally you wouldn't hear a Scots person describe themselves as Scotch.

Apprently 'whelmed' was a word, meaning engulfed or submerged, before 'under' and 'over' became attached to it. Shakespear used it. I hope this leaves you feeling gruntled.

Also is it volume or type of germ that is the remaining .1%? Like does dettol kill the cold germ 99.9% of the time meaning 0.1% of the time a cold germ will survive or does it mean that out of all the different germs in the world dettol will kill 99.9% of them 100% of the time?

I think so. It's essentially to cover the chances that there's some super mutant germ you have that's immune.

Couldn't you just have temporarily believed in all that jazz in order to achieve your aims and then made a quick withdrawal? Or did you worry about being stalked the rest of your life...

Why, when I at look at myself through the shaving mirror in the morning, do I see the same person as I saw 50 years ago? But, when I see a recent photo of myself, I see an alien creature??

I was outside washing my car amd the wifes. I'm standing there with the pressure washer, next to 2 cars that are suddenly spotless amd still wet. In my other hand is the empty bucket with car washing mitten in it. The wife comes out and asks what I'm doing?

What I've always wondered is, how come a supposedly intelligent woman be so thick, is it just a lack of logic?

[Lone Striker]

Why did Alanis Morissette think these  lyrics in her song "Ironic"  were examples of irony -

 

It's like rain on your wedding day 

It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take

A traffic jam when you're already late
A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

 

Surely these are just disappointments. or frustrations ?   Nothing ironic about any of them......... which is rather ironic..... ironically 😃

It was probably another Daft Meme thread. Maybe someone started one without realising there already was one...or something.

Yeah, i don't think you're allowed to advertise things like that without asking for permission. It's probably just so the mods can verify it's a genuine charity and not a scam.

Try looking at the browsing history on your phone. When I look at mine on Chrome it tells me the names of the threads I've looked at.

After a shower at the gym, a guy asked me 'Do you use Imperial Leather soap'? I said, 'Why can you smell it'? He said, 'No you've got the sticker stuck on your arse'.
