Why?
Here are a few why questions that have been rattling around in my empty head for a while now. Here are my best answers…does anyone have the real ones?
Q. Why does it take ten times longer to ‘delete files’ in internet options than it does to ‘delete cookies’?
A. Because the ram that lives on my bus is currently on an ‘all files’ diet and, as such, he’s rushing to get rid of all the cookies while keeping tight hold of the files.
Q. Why does Gary Bettman suck sooooooooooooooo much?
A. Because he’s actually a CIA agent who’s been planted by the US to slowly chip away at Canada’s national identity so that soon we will meld south like an amoeba laced with moose and maple syrup.
Q. Why do people keep their butter in the fridge in North America?
A. Because there’s a really bad butter infection that’s going around which, if you leave butter in the cupboard, makes it easier to spread (which is, apparently, a bad thing).
Q. Why does our bathroom have mirrors everywhere except over the sink (see previous post)?
A. Because the old owner called forth an evil spirit in the vanity mirror which she was then, of course, obliged to smash. Unfortunately she smashed it wrong somehow allowing the spirit to escape. As the only warm-blooded human in the room, the old owner became possessed by said same spirit who, in some weird twist of revenge, compelled the owner to mirror every possible surface in the bathroom except, the one surface that would actually be useful.
Umm, I realize that many of you might not be familiar with Gary Bettman. He’s the commissioner of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the biggest reason why us Canadians have been forced to do without hockey for a whole season.
Q. Why does it take ten times longer to ‘delete files’ in internet options than it does to ‘delete cookies’?
A. The ‘correct’ answer is that the downloaded files are more numerous and comprise more space than the cookies. The really correct answer is that Windows is poorly coded, as deleting either should be almost instantaneous. And no, I’m not switching to Linux. I’m just a masochist who enjoys paying MS to abuse me.
Q. Why does Gary Bettman suck sooooooooooooooo much?
A. Because he’s a lawyer (hopefully our lawyer friends don’t read your blog!)
Q. Why do people keep their butter in the fridge in North America?
A. The same reason they put icecubes in a cold drink
Q. Why does our bathroom have mirrors everywhere except over the sink (see previous post)?
A. The large tub and plethora of wall-to-ceiling mirrors calls up porno imagery…the mirror over the sink would have increased the odds of accidentally capturing the crew behind the camera during filming.
I was gonna say, “mirrors everywhere” sounds extremely kinky. Daniel’s explanation very intelligently answers the question then.
Okay, as for refrigerating butter, I think it’s the whole “dairy products are usually refrigerated” thing.
