I have a rather cluttered brain! Like I was saying in another thread, I have a whole warehouse of useless trivia up there. It's a lot like an overstuffed attic in need of a garage sale!
Maybe you can help me tag and bag it so I can go out and get more!
Here is are some questions that need answers. And so I don't overwhelm you..I'll stick to only a couple of subjects.
When a song is in another language (other then English) Does it rhyme?
The ones I have been able to translate: yes, but when they translated them, they moved the words around, and changed a few to make them rhyme in english.
If so how come when they translate it, it rhymes in English?
If you live somewhere like China and your keyboard has Chinese characters on it..how do you type in English? I can't type in Chinese.
I have a friend in Ukraine- she types in english. I think they have certain keys that do different things- like we can do µ┴kó© using alt+4 letters on the number pad.
Why do ankles swell when you retain water but not wrists or knees..or shoulders for that matter? They are joints too. I know ankles are at the bottom..but they do it even if you keep your feet 'Up".
Wrists will swell too- but gravity holds most of it to the bottoms. I got to try out the wrist swelling when I was preggo.
Why are the letters on the keyboard all mixed up? I can't see how this makes typing easier! I always have to look for the Xand Q! This had to be some guys idea!
? no clue.
Why does the keyboard say enter when it's really return!
It's not return: return was the name of the button when we were back in the day of typewriters, and you wanted the roll thingy to return. It IS enter- or more accurately, would be "submit" because you hit it when you are done typing what you want on a given line, or when you want to submit a page or form.
How does it know the difference between return and enter when you click on a hyperlink?
Why do some sites give you things like click Alt F3 when they want you to do things like delete or move to another box? (just an example, I have no clue what alt F3 does and I don't want to try or I may lose my post)
no clue
What is ~ suppose to be? ~o> besides a mouse tail? And how do you ask the computer when you don't know what it's called?
No clue what it's called- in math sign, it means approximately. I could say something was ~15, as in approximately 15, otherwise it's just a neat squiggle, like signing my name ~Anna, it's just for emphasis. And I would google something dumb like "squiggle line on keyboard" to find out what it's called. And I just did, and it's called a tilde.
Why are there{} if there are ()? {this looks dumb}
Used for math, not so much for typing. But math teachers gotta type up forms too ya know.
In Florida we don't have basements..they would be indoor pools in about 6 seconds. But why don't we have real attics? Not just crawlspaces?
No clue. I'm from AZ, and we didn't have either crawlspaces, or basements, or attics either. I think attics are sooo cool, since I never had one before I moved here. LOL (but I dont have one now.
)
If you get SADD (depressed because of the shortage of sunlight) then why isn't every Northern home equipted with those sunlight boxes or lamps?
Why when you are falling asleep do you hear a voice..clear as a bell, mostly they say my name, but I swear they are right next to me..it could be Mike or mom, sometimes it's one of the kids or grands. I have heard of it happening to other people too. I just don't know why. (and no they don't tell me to do things..lol)
I am stopping now because my brain filing clerk is getting mad..she has stuff filed by some alien logic known only to her. I have pulled out too many files.
In case you think I am kidding..
If I want to think of one certain singer, I have to think of Edie Gorme who is married to Steve Lawrence, That reminds me of Carol Lawrence who at one time was married to Robert Goulet!!! Yeah..that's him the late great Robert Goulet!
I cannot short cut From Edie Gorme to Robert Goulet...my file clerk has him under Carol Lawrence. It takes all 4 steps!
There is probably some long drawn out name for this problem..I just blame my demented file clerk..who thinks all i's follow e's. and all kids have the same name!
