I've been around for a while..OK...OK...I've been around since Grant was a private. There are so many things that puzzle me, and they are so hard to put them together. How about your puzzles????

Like....What was in the mind of the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink what comes out"

Or the first person to say, "See that chicken over there ... I'm gonna eat the first thing that comes out if its behind"

Other things that puzzle me:::

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why don't the hairs on your arms get split ends?

CRUCIVERBALIST/ˌkruːsɪˈvəːbəlɪst/

A compiler or solver of crossword puzzles.

If you encounter the clue “crossword puzzle fan (14 letters)”, this is the answer. It seems to have appeared in English about 1980 (the first reference I can find is to the Compleat Cruciverbalist of 1981 by Stan Kurzban and Mel Rosen, subtitled “how to solve, compose and sell crossword puzzles for fun and profit”). However, Stan Kurzban tells me that Mel Rosen had encountered the word some years earlier in the title of a directory of crossword puzzle notables that was not widely circulated. Whatever its origin, cruciverbalist has spread into the wider language as a result of their efforts to the extent that it now appears in some larger recent US dictionaries. The word is a modern mock-Latin invention, being a translation back into Latin of the English crossword (using Latin crucis, cross, as in words like cruciform, plus verbum, word, as in verbose or verbatim). There is also cruciverbalism, for the art of crossword compilation or crossword fandom generally, but that is much rarer.

I have been waiting for somewhere to post this.:smile:

Why does our hair fall out in some places when we get older, and grow in other places you would think it should'nt.

If dying is like being born only in reverse... than why do we spend life dying to live?

Since there is a rule that states "i" before "e" except after "c", wouldn't "science" be spelled wrong?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

Why is it when I duck people call me chicken?

I've wondered what happens if I say “hi” to a friend on an airplane who's name is Jack?

Why does "lake" come first (Lake Michigan) and "river" come second (Mississippi River)?

Seeing how I am possessed...and I don't pay the exorcist,...would I get repossessed?

Here is a puzzle my dad asked me once.

If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half then how long will it take a rooster to lay a brass door knob?laugh

In elevators there is no number "13", but why is there a page 666 in The Bible?

Do pigs pull ham strings? Can dogs have dog days? Do birds pee?

Two many questions, so little time... shades

So did the egg or the chicken come first? what

Why do we have so many words that sound
the same when we say them, but don't mean the same?
(examples: our, are. I, eye. Two, too, to.)

They're called homophones.

Who was the cruel person that put an "s" in the word, "lisp"?

Why do we feel blue? and what color does a smurf feel when they are down?

Why do we say "bye bye" but not "hi hi"?
