Does Size Matter?
Question: What is the difference between an ocean and a sea?
AnswerMan: A puzzling question. Whenever sailors speak
of "going to sea" or the "high seas," they are invariably talking about an ocean. It would seem safe to say that seas are smaller than
oceans. Larger bodies of water, generally found inland and semi-detached
from the nearest ocean, seem to be often called seas; except, of course, for the Great Lakes.
Then, we've got "seas" -- North, South China and Arabian, just
to name a few -- that are completely attached to oceans.
Hmmm. The difference between the two terms could be the salt content of the
named bodies of water. Why, you might then ask, does Utah have a Great Salt
Lake, while Israel has an apparently smaller body of highly salty water
called the Dead Sea?
Hmmm, again. In short, there are no easy answers to your
question, only more questions. I sincerely hope this has aided you with that
geography term paper.
Another Day Older
Q: I'm really seriously thinking of
getting a home equity loan. What are the pros and cons? Can they really reduce
your monthly overhead? Where is a good place to go? My credit union?
A: Getting deeper in debt questions. The pros
are those people who are paid for their sports abilities or, in some rare
instances, their work. It's short for "professionals." The cons
area those people currently serving time for their crimes against society. It's
short for "convicts." Unless you are a business, you have no monthly
overhead. A good place to go is Las Vegas. A credit union would be cheaper, but
probably less entertaining.
Immortality Pill
Q: Have you heard of Human Growth Hormone?
A: A cure-all question. Do I not receive spam? Would
everyone who bites on this message could reduce body fat without dieting; build
lean muscle without exercise; enhance sexual performance; remove wrinkles and
cellulite; lower blood pressure; improve cholesterol profile; enhance sleep,
vision and memory; restore hair color and growth; strengthen the immune system;
increase energy and cardiac output; and turn back the biological time clock
10-20 years in 6 months of usage? Problem is, if the answers to all these
questions is "yes," every HGH user would enjoy perfect health and
unprecedented longevity. Our planet would shortly become unbearably overcrowded
with exceptionally fit, highly attractive people. The horror.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Q: Do you have the yen to be a millionaire?
A: A question of currency. No, I do not. Even more
tragically, I haven't the pounds sterling, deutschemarks or the plain, old
American greenbacks to achieve that status. Well, maybe when the internet
economy takes off...
Say What?
Q: Do you like hot, horny women?
A: A trick question? Hey, even hot, horny women
sometimes like hot, horny women. The real question is how much are they going to
cost me?
