Except that the moral isn't to keep your phone clean. The real reason they died is that they launched all the supposedly useless people into space, including telephone sanitizers. The consequence of that was the telephone-born disease. Sorry, thread drift. I'll get me coat! |

Sorry, that was sort of mean...
Gomen! Ok...I'm game: "If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?" But seriously, If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? and Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? |

But seriously, If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? They light up but the light doesn't shine very far! and Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? Okay, you got me there - why? |

Fortunately you are too late. Answers provided sans wikipedia... To answer to kenzan: I guess: flammable: able to flame. inflammabe: probably closer from latin, "in" means something like "putting in". (inflammable is used in french with the same meaning BTW, but flammable does not exist). The second one: depend on the speed of the other objects from your point of view. If they are closing in at light speed, you will never see them before getting hit. Edit: I'm saying the same as Decado. |

Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? Flammable means something that will burn when it is set fire to. Inflammable means something can set alight through intense heat. See. I listened during my fire safety talk at work. Unless this is wrong in which case I forgot. But i don't think it is in which case I am right. So there. |
