    Have you ever stopped to wonder about this........

    How come you press harder on a remote-control when you know the
    battery is dead?

    Why do banks charge you a "non-sufficient funds fee" on money
    they already know you don't have?

    Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

    You know how most packages say "Open here..." What is the
    protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else?"

    Why are they called apartments, when they're all stuck together?

    Why do people without a watch look at their wrist when you ask
    them what time it is?

    Why is it that the guy who comes up behind you while you're
    waiting for an elevator presses the already lit "up" button -- as
    though he somehow has magical powers that you didn't when you
    pressed it the first time?

    I'm fairly sure people dont do that, they just say Sorry i dont have a watch or they show their watchless arm.

    Why do they same 'new and improved'? If it's new, it's just been brought out and can't be improved! If it's improved, it's not new, it's just....been improved. The mysteries of life, eh?

    Alot of people do that, and yes, I agree, its generally to show the person they dont have a watch. buuuuttttt .. they dont always say 'Sorry I don't have a watch' :P

    The answer is: new and improved means, they make it taste not as good as the original on perpose, and when people eat it they go
    "aww this isnt as nice as the original"
    So then after a while when people are craving the old fashioned taste, the manufacturers bring out ......... Original and SALES ROCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No where,

    Start Physics Lesson

    A ripple is a wave. Defination of a wave = "The transfer of Energy through a medium (substance) without any net movement of the medium". THerefore, as nothing is moving it can't "go" anywhere.


    End Physics Lession.

    Start Chemistry Lesson

    The wind have no colour because its compunds have no colour i.e. O3 and N2 aren't coloured as a gas.....

    (Bit of Physics thrown in) As the atom is made up mostly of space (proven by the gold leaf experiment) This also leads to a colourless gas.

    End Chemistry/Physics Lession
