Re:Ponderings

Why is it that we drive on a parkway and park on the drive way?

Why do people call them atm machines? Isn't that automated teller machine machine.

Do indians have rain dance practice? If so does it rain during them? If not how do they know they're doing it right?

In Massachusetts, some of the servants finally rebelled. They had it put into their contracts that they would not be forced to eat lobster more than three times a week. Lobsters could be found piled 2 feet high on the beach after a storm, and 30-40 pounders weren't uncommon.<br><br>Another bit of useless information. :.... ;D<br><br><br>
