Why is it left and right have two(2) meanings(left- direction, leave past tense, right- direction, correct) but up and down only have one?

Lady Marion Magdalena · 04-21-2006, 09:46 PM

Actually the word politic is from the Greek 'polis' which refers to a city and the surrounding countryside. Thus Politic just means 'of the city'. No bloodsucking parasites I'm afraid, though it does make an amsuing pun.

Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

Why are they called Hemmorhoids rather than Asteroids?

Why do birds suddenly appear, whenever you are near?

***Rían*** · 04-22-2006, 12:56 AM

I always thought it was funny, that thing about "why do they call it a 'near miss'? It's a near HIT!!!!!"

Telcontar_Dunedain · 04-22-2006, 07:29 AM

Why do they call a meeting for Alcoholics, 'Alcoholics Anonymous' when the first you do is say your name!

Another 'mysterys of life thread', why are some lines in parking lots yellow and some white? And right next to each other as often as not!

This is more in line with "" Things you might not know or Do you know this....or Funny Things"

rather than a support for an entire thread.
