Just wondering what's right?

And who would win in a fight, a mongoose or a badger?

And why is sheep plural and singular? When I tell someone I've screwed sheep, I want them to be able to distinguish between how many, not just one.

Should I laugh when I hear Prince of "Whales"? And are their Lords of Dolphins?

Whats perplexing you?

Singular: I've screwed a sheep.

plural: I've screwed sheep.


Thanks for letting us know which one it is.

You unthaw the chicken (amongst other things...)

The chicken is thawed. Thats how I use it.

I don't think unthaw is a real word. Our language has weired uses of prefixes. And sometimes only the prefixed word seems to exist:

good
Debone ~ bone
Detoxify ~ toxify


no good
Deny ~ ny
Debate ~ bate

just checked dictionary.com:

thaw and unthaw are synonyms.... shouldn't this be illegal?



"Inflammable means flammable? Boy, what a country!"

Taken from another website...

Proof: Girls are evil:

First we state that girls require time and money :-

Girls = Time x Money

And we know that time is money :-

Time = Money

Therefore :-

Girls = Money x Money

Girls = (Money)^2

And because 'money is the root of all evil'

Girls = (Evil)^1/2 x (Evil)^1/2
Girls = Evil

Dola,

Now the perplexing part...

How can something evil feel so good?

Definately a badger...

Say you screwed many sheep to emphasize what a sheepstud you are


Should I laugh when I hear Prince of "Whales"? And are their Lords of Dolphins?


Is Harry the Prince of Wales, he's got more cash than you or I, and he'll get more quality poon than anyone on this board's lifetime...


The plural of mongoose, is mongooses.

Thank-you, next question.

"You don't know jack" means you don't know anything.
"You know jack" means ... you don't know anything.

"You don't know jack" = "You know jack."

Very confusing.
