It's very simple. You have to answer any question that has been posted. Once done, you may ask a new one.
The history of Corn and Humans...
So...I was sitting in my "office" the other day checking out the "deposit" I made at the bank and realized, "Hey! Corn doesn't get disolved in our bodies". Anyone care to offer up a reason for this? |

Why do Korean folk put their bathroom light switches OUTSIDE the bathroom? Do they lack the technology to make their light switches accessible from the inside? Is it superstition? |

Maybe this has something to do with the lack of shower stalls-- wouldn't want to expose wiring while all that water is being tossed about.
What's the real reason people keep spelling it 'Corea'? |

Because just before the Japanese Annexation, some Koreans had started to transliterate it thus. Then, in order to be announced at sporting and other international events before the Koreans, the Japanese changed the transliteration--or at least that's what patchy told me. So it is seen as a statement of national pride/hatred. But I am sure you have something more witty in your little bag of onion rings.
And lest it get left by the wayside:
flocci�nauci�nihili�pilification
Now:
What are the two (most)major European historical events, on opposite sides of the continent, that took place in 1453?
Ah...I just realized: I answered two, therefore I get two questions:
What is my favorite color?

Just because Olympics has an s at the end, doesn't mean there were two of them. And the modern Olympics didn't start again until the end of the 19th Century 1890-something I believe: just count backwards in increments of 4 and you'll get there.
And:
No.
So no question for you! |

For a gaywad chick you're pretty smart.
You have both my respect and my permission to ask a question--but not two as you failed to designate my favorite color. |

Probably corn flakes with processed cheese and Pat Riley's fingernails.
As usual.
Where was I conceived? |
