Graveyard shift comes from the 1700's. They used to attatch a bell to a string and tie it inside the coffin when people were buried so someone sitting outside during the night could hear it in case they weren't dead.

As the official "answer man", I guess I should have started responding to this thread a long time ago.

If a bird gets the flu, will eating chicken soup make it feel better???
No. That's an old wive's tale.

Why do we park in our driveways, and drive on the parkways?
The answer to that question is long and complicated and all ties back to the width of a horses's you-know-what.

Why on a drive through ATM machine do they have brail instructions????
Because some Aggies are blind.

Why do we spend so much time on diesel websites???
Because gasser websites get poor fuel economy, are low on torque and don't billow out black smoke when we type real fast.

Why when we check the level of our engine oil do we wipe the dipstick off before putting back into the oil?
Ummmm....because you're stupid?? Who ever heard of such a thing??

If you melt dry ice, could you swim in it without getting wet?
Technically, no. However, inhaling the fumes that come off of dry ice will make you feel like you're swimming and you'll probably wet yourself in the process.

Why is it that whenever you get on an elevator you immediately have to fart.........or is that just me?
It's NOT just you. The real question is what do you do in that situation? Hold it or let it rip? Personally, I like to let it rip and then look at the guy next to me with a real sick look on my face and say, "Dude, you're disgusting."

Why do people always urge to do the impossible with nothing?
Because it's impossible to do nothing.

If you took all the ships out of the sea,how far would the tide go out.
Once again, the answer to that question is too complicated for DTR and ties back to the width of a horse's you-know-what.

If an airplane is on a conveyor belt........
It will never move.

If the top track on a tank moves at ......
Then the bottom track doesn't move at all.

wipe?? you mean your not supposed to lick it?
No. That would contaminate the oil in the engine...especially with your tongue.

Stephen Wright?
No. He was wrong.

Any other questions you need answers to just go ahead and ask. If I don't know I'll just make something up.

chaikwa.
dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) sublimes, meaning when cooling, it goes directly from a solid to a vapor

If we didn't have gravity could birds fly?

If they couldn't would it matter?

What's where the term 'saved by the bell' comes from.

Actually, from watching survivor guy you don't want to eat the snow cause it will lower your core temperature causing hypothermia from the inside as well as the outside.......I know way to serious for this topic....but I actually know something!!! Wow, I'm amazed at myself.....
