    ok so my question is about..pickles..why are pickled cucumbers plainly called “pickles” instead of pickled cucumbers? i mean..everythign else pickled has the name of what it is as well IE pickled pigs feet, pickled artichoke hearts, pickled eggs..so what makes pickled cucumbers so special that they get to be merely called “pickles”

    and this..is what ADD does to me when i am bored and have nothing to do ::sigh::

        Cucumbers are thought to be the first pickled food item? At least according to this.
        Bored people should use Google *poke* 😉 😀

        Learn something new every day. This forum is very educational.

        Here’s my question (and I know the answer – some friends and I are Rudolph geeks) What is wrong with the doll in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?

        And the bonus question would be: Which toy dies at the end of Rudolph (probably)?

        ❓ Don’t know to either the pickles and the Rudolph questions.

        So, if olive oil is made from olives, what is baby oil made of?

        😆 This is what happens when I’m bored, tired and listening to interesting music.

        Ah yes that one. I need to find my “Confused Philosopher” jokes…. I have them around here somewhere. 😆

        If a mute kid swears does his mother wash his hands with soap?

        Why isn’t Phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

          If jimmy cracked corn and no one cares… then why is there a song about it?

          Why do stores that are open 24/7 365- have locks on their doors?

          Why does slow up and slow down mean the same thing?

          Why do we wash bath towels when in essence, we use them to wipe down clean bodies fresh from the shower? (someone told me that one)

            The last one I know…you may be clean but by toweling you’re still sloughing off skin cells and germs that will eventually make the towel start to smell.

            I have a whole list of these:

            Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak? Or smack it a few times???

            Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough money there already?

            Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

            Why doesn’t glue stick to the bottle?

            Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

            Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

            Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

            Whose idea was it to put an “S” in the word “lisp”?

            If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

            Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

            Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

            Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

            Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

            Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

            How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

            When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, “It’s all right?” Well, it isn’t all right, so why don’t we say, “That hurt, you stupid idiot?”

            Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

            In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

            How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

            #626209

            😆 Well, I guess there isn’t that much more to add.

              Why do we park on a driveway, but drive on a parkway?

              Why is it ok for a woman to say: “I went out with my girlfriends last night” but a guy can’t say: “I went out with my boyfriends”?

              I can’t think of any more…
