1. Daily events only.
2. No Election junk (Shouldn't everyone have had enough of this already)\
3. No Fish.
Why must someone everyday after work drive slow in the passing lane???? Cannot these people come to realize the lane is made for faster traffic?? If my insurance wouldn't sky rocket I would weld railroad irons around my truck and solve this problem. 
Next question?

Related question: Why did I get a fine for tailgating one of the morons blocking the leftmost lane on the Interstate? Doing 50 mph in the left lane should be a federal offense. I hate passing people on the right!
New question: Whats so special about mothers with baby carriages that allow them to block the entire sidewalk and glare at you for not moving out of their way? Met three of those in parallell on the widest sidewalk in the entire city of Stockholm and not one of them budged. We stood there for almost a minute until she finally moved around me. I should of course have thrown myself into the rushhour traffic to avoid them.

Related Question: Why must these mothers glare at you esp on the bus. I mean Yes you have a baby yes you need a place to sit but there are other seats available. Why must you get the one you prefer and force someone to move?
Question: In the work place why must the most inane and boring tasks be handed down to the person lowest down the food chain. He is the one that needs to learn. Handing him 300 pages to photocopy will not help him in the long run.

Question: Why do most new cars have a rebate? Does jacking up the price to then give you a deal really make sense?

The question I've been thinking about lately: why do we spend so much time at SYM?

I can't speak for Switzerland. Maybe they become an oceanic power whenever the snows melt.
Question: Why is it that all sock-filled drawers resolve themselves into a group of socks for which there is no mate, despite the fact that you've never thrown any socks out at any time in the past?

re: fable's question...socks seem to attract the most random forces the universe has to offer, acting as focal points for the improbable and defying all attempts to rationalize the strange occurences they are invariably associated with.

Question: Why do UPS drivers never use parking spaces? Why do they insist on stopping directly in the flow of traffic?

Related question: Why must all oil/gas be taxed at nearly 100%. I mean seriously. Oil is bloody cheap but oh no, every govt has to tax it like mad and then manipulate the average joe by saying oil prices have risen.
New Question: Why do old ladies just glare at you for no rhyme or reason. You may be walking down the street and all of a sudden you see this old lady just wanting to murder you with her eyes. No i am not the only one who gets this!

Related Question: Why do old people always assume the worst? An old women dropped a shopping bag in the street yesterday, and i was walking behind. I picked it up, and was holding it out to her, politely and helpfully when, to my amazement she snapped "Give that back! thief!" I was inclined to drop it straight into the puddle below... but my sense of community spirit won over  .
New Question: When writing in invisible ink, how do you know if your pen is working, or if you've made a mistake?

Related question: why did humanity invent pens where the ink comes out at the wrong side? I have to buy a new pen every 5-6 days because for some reason they like to ink-explode when I'm holding them. Not to mention the endlessly trying to wash the ink from my hand.
New question: If profane language is forbidden on GB, why does an advertisement for a certain "Bloodrayne" plays over and over again while browsing the forums, showing her unhidden decolleté?
