You Know....I've Always Wondered...

[Gullick]

I've always wondered how the clocks on PCs can keep the right time when the power is switched off...It doesnt seem to make sense, it must need some kind of power source other wise the only way it could do it is to try to save the time when it was switched off and try to add the time that it was actually off for...but how would it know?

But anyhoo, now for the topic of the thread, is there anything that you've always wondered about the world and no matter how many angles you look at it, you still cant figure it out?

Why won't NANNY MANUS die?

[Renmiri]

PC clocks have a tiny battery on them.

Incidentally, that battery lasts as long as 3-4 years but it does go out and it makes the PC lose not only the time but also other info such as Hard Drive type and video board settings. That makes old PCs hard / impossible to boot sometimes

Why do so many people put such great faith in something that they have no proof exists one way or the other?

Ooooh, I'm gonna get responses to that one!

(SPOILER)Give it to me, babies.

You know what, you're right. How do I know this air business exsists? I may as well stop breathing since I can't prove it's there. While I'm on it, what about this eating malarkey? Can't say I've tried not eating for long periods of time. Who says I'd die anyway? The Man? The Man sucks! I hate the Man! No more soldiers in Iraq! Follow the Kyoto Treaty! Soya-powered everything! Liberal hippy comments!

I assure you, it has been proven that air exists and not eating for long periods of time can kill you. Alternatively, are you trying to respond with blatant idiotic remarks or does it just occur naturally for you?

Bunny, that's not okay to say, and you know it. I think Maxx was probably joking anyways. If not, it's better to ignore him than to be a meanie bo beanie.

I present the classic Animaniacs question:

Why do hot dogs come in packs of ten, yet hot dog buns only appear in packs of eight?

[Rocket Edge]

How do they get the fig in the fig-roll?

Yes ma'am :(

Sorry Maxxie.

Another question: What is up with the sound on this program. It keeps skipping on my movie and it won't sync up! Whhhhy?

Because cold hot dogs are delicious. Eight hot with bun, two cold without bun. Mmmm.

Do nudists have pin-ups of people with clothes on?

[No.78]

No, they have pinups of people with skin missing.

Japan & Balsam. Not together, though.
