Why do ‘a fat chance’ and ‘a slim chance’ mean the same thing?

Why do we hang our clothes on a washing line and not a drying line?

Why do people skip breakfast more than any other meal, considering that this is the time when the stomach is emptiest, and proven to be 'the most important meal of the day'?

When you feel down, why do people ask what’s up?

In horse racing, why do they award the rider and not the horse?

If insects are so obsessed with bright lights, why don’t they fly off to the sun?

Whatever happened to "Make Love not War?"

"The only thing stronger than a mother's love is a garlic breath."

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
~Aesop

Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
~Ludwig Börne

"All I do is act on my passions and they call it sin.
All I do is tell the truth and they call me a hypocrite.
All I feel is pain and sorrow and they call it love.
All I do is pour my heart out to empty pages and they call it poetry."
~Benito Behar

Are computers masculine or feminine?

A French teacher was explaining to her College class that in French,
unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

House is feminine "la maison." Pencil is masculine "le crayon."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?" Instead of giving the
answer, the teacher split the class into two groups-male and female-and
asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a
masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons
for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the
feminine gender (la computer) because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for
possible later review; and,
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
masculine (le computer) because:
1 In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they
ARE the problem; and,
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.
