But don't complain that you don't understand; as Kosh says, "Understanding is a three-edged sword."

Oh, damn, look at the time ... I have to get to Red 3!

2. Which came first? the chicken or the rooster?

She faked it, and the rooster has no idea.

3. What is eleven times eleven? show your work

11^2

4. What is your quest?

Experience

You scored 51 Danger, 63 Intrigue, 56 Romance, and 28 Material Gain! You love well, you live well, you fight for what you believe in, and you keep a clear sharp mind. Your quest is to experience all that life has to offer, to travel, to learn, to take every oppurtunity. You are a very free person, and care little for money and physical comfort. Religion might come easily to you, as might philosophy..

E. Who/what is the best rock band of all time?

Ah, but you're just trying to start a bar fight ...

VI. Where is your duodenum?

Between my unodenum and my triodenum.

7. What ryhmes with 'orange?'

Oranges poranges, who says, oranges poranges,
who says, oranges poranges, who says--
there ain't no rhyme for oranges![/Witchiepoo]

eight. How many fingers am i holding up?

32. Which is quite strange, now that I think about it ....

IX. Ketchup or mustard on your hotdog?

BBQ sauce.

10. What color are the underwear you're wearing right now?

"Underwear" is singular.

Then why do we refer to them as pairs?

So that you have the rare chance to make the word oxymoron feel wanted- as in 'I haven't a single pair to wear'... that poor word gets hardly any chances at all to be in the public eye and as might be expected it becomes very depressed as a result - make an oxymoron happy, and string two contradictory words together today - let's make today the official oxymoron day from now on - put it in your diaries to be celebrated every year - SAVE THE OXYMORON! SAVE THE OXYMORON! - and remember 'an oxymoron a day... ....!?' (damn a forgotten memory, who'd have thought....!)

Because their main purpose is to hold in two testicles.

Of course, then the question becomes, how come brassieres aren't sold in pairs.

The sober answer is that
brassière is singular even in the French.
