And I can see that. Sometimes chocolate mix won't mix for me, so there's always that deposit of mix at the bottom of the cup. Would be very tasty if weren't for the fact that I can't reach it. :|

The zipper was invented by a guy that was too lazy to lace up his boots.

I used to have shoes that tightened by turning a thing on the back. They were the greatest shoes ever.

But it takes too much energy to tie your boots with Velcro! Why not use cheap plastic sandals instead! Nothing to tie and it holds thanks to the space between your big toe and...other...toe...

Are there names for the other toes?

Second, third, fourth, and fifth toe? Big toe gets away without a number.

Or refer to them the same way one would do for fingers, with index, middle, ring, and pinky. :-? Feet are funny.

There's that funny bit of trivia that velcro was invented because zippers stop working on very low temperatures, so for mountaineers and the like. I'm sure zippers had a similar practical intention, though I'm too lazy to look up.

Well, before the zipper came along, people's pants kept falling down.

That was invented so that it would be difficult for a nuclear attack to break up communication networks. Not seeing the laziness there. Maybe those shopping-from-home sites...

I'm appalled that you've learned my real name. To be fair, buying a Playboy from a respectable place gets you funny looks, and nobody wants to go to the "adult bookstore."

This is true. Also your porn will be safe in the event of a nuclear attack.

How "respectable" could it really be if you can buy Playboys there? It's the people who shop at a place that sells Playboys and look at you funny for actually buying one that are out of place, not you! Buy that Playboy! Hold it up over your head as you walk out! Look every single person that you pass on the way out straight in the eye! And then masturbate in the parking lot afterward!

That'll show 'em.
