By the previous arguements it's only half full! <br /><br />Now you're done experimenting, empty the glass. Not down the sink! Drink it!<br />Still confused? Repeat the experiment and post the results. :D <br /><br />Chrish...........

I've performed this experiment 23 times, now, and I see 3 glasses. What phase does that mean? :D

Re: How come?

So why is a consignment on a ship called 'cargo' and on a car it's called a 'shipment'?

The same reason you park on the driveway and drive on the parkway :D

Well, if we are going to go that far, why is it a pair of pants if I only have one?

Pat, cause there are 2 legs in the pair of pants.<br /><br />If they just had one leg, it would be plain pant. :D

Ok smarty pants (no pun intended :D ) Even though you don't wear any why do they call underwear a pair (briefs of course ;) )

Re: How come?

.......hmmmmm, have to agree with Pat Patterson, why is it not called a pair of shirts?<br />~Pair of shoes.<br />~Pair of socks.<br />~Pair of pants.<br />~Pair of underwear.<br />~Pair of gloves.<br />~....and a shirt. :confused: <br />That just ain't right. :p <br /><br />Now, if you you hold up a baseball, are you seeing half of it, or just one side of it?........is there a difference? Can you ever see all of a round object? When you hold that baseball in your hand, are you only holding half of it because you can only see one side at a time?<br />........and why do they call it a building if its already built. :confused: ....... :D <br /><br />lol at achris. :D

Re: How come?

Why are they called apartments, when they are all together. Shouldn't they be togetherments?<br /><br />Why does my wife need a permanent in her hair every 4 weeks? Permanent should be longer than 4 weeks, shouldn't it?
