I believe it's more of a 'zen' thing, where the teflon becomes '...one with the pan....'

Elementary, my dear Kowalski!

Before teflon, panmakers would put an anti-rust compound on the pan. Now, they put nothing on the pan's surface. The nothing sticks to the teflon.

you should know that this is not a question i ask, this is the signature of a person from this forum, since the subject splited, you may not understand where the question come from
in the end i am not that stupid to ask this question

Sir,
Permit me to apologize. No offense was intended. I have seen that signature many times; I addressed you because your post headed the thread. I certainly did not mean to imply that anyone who asked the question is "stupid." The owner of the signature certainly asked it in jest (just as my signature is intended as a little joke), and my response (which could certainly be considered "stupid"!) was intended as a jest.

Unfortunately, humor often doesn't translate across cultures, and American humor in particular often _unintentionally_ offends. My "Elementary, my dear Kowalski" was a reference to the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In them, the detective Sherlock Holmes often prefaces explanations to his assistant, Dr. Watson, with, "Elementary, my dear Watson!" Please forgive me if it seemed condescending.

[Kowalski]

no problem, you shouldnt be woried at all. i didnt find your post insulting, rather it was funny. so as you said humour often doesnt translate as emotions too.
so no hard feelings, take care

OK, since we got that out of the way. If they ever invent a universal solvent, what would they keep it in?

[ironguy]

...and why do drive up ATMs have a braille pad?

Why does cargo go by ship and a shipment goes by car?

Why isn't it a hersterectomy and a hisnia?

Why does an electric iron have a setting for "Permanent Press"??

How come "brassiere" is singular and "panties" are plural?

And while on the subject of other peoples signatures lines I will take the time to compliment you Kowalski...Rush rocks!

there are three things in life that i cant live withouth:
1- Rush
2- Marillion
3- Queen

Why don't we say abusual or unnormal?

Why do they put 'Drive' behind 'Neutral' ...
and 'Reverse' in front of 'Neutral' ?

I have a short personal story on this subject.

When I was 12 (or 13) years old I livied in Sandy Springs, Georgia (North of Atlanta on the I-285 perimeter) and my room was in the basement along with the entertainment room, laundry room, a bathroom and my fathers' workshop where I also had a small room.

One weekend my father and I were puttering around in the workshop doing different things. I was working on my amatuer radio equipment and he had been doing some painting and wanted to clean his brushes. He pulled out glass, got the turpentine and filled the glass and then put the turpentine away. When he came back the glass was gone. He yelled at me and asked what I did with the glass to which of course I answered "I didn't do anything with you're stupid glass".

He repeated this two more time with exactly the same results!

On the fourth try he did not return the turpentine to it's proper location but instead stayed by his glass of precious turpentine. To his amazment he watched his glass (plastic actually) be totally consumed by the turpentine leaving no trace of the glass or the turpentine!

You're comment reminded me of this episode.

It takes a particular blend of personality types to come up with most of these posts. You have to be half philosopher and half wit.

[PetiteFlower]

Halfwit, yeah that sounds about right :p Half of these things aren't legitimately illogical or contradictory or even rhetorical! I can give valid answers to most of these questions that make perfect sense, so it sounds to me like people are distorting reality to make it SEEM contradictory when it is not. And that bugs me!

There are plenty of LEGITIMATE oxymorons around that you don't need to make them up! It's like the totally un-ironic Alanis Morisette song :)

The worst part about it: you guys/gals can just decide to stop reading this thread. We (the mods) have to read it every time one of you posts! Talking about losing points off my intelligence! 8O You're killin' me! :wink:

[PetiteFlower]

Heh, if we ever reached negative intelligence we'd have stopped being able to post long ago :) Negative Int means you are either in a coma or a concious vegetable. Lie in bed, sit up if someone moves you, blink, drool, that's about it!

Palindromes are cool though :) I don't know any, but they're certainly not intelligence sucking!

I work at a credit union so I get to hear "ATM machine" and "PIN number" all the time.
