My God man! The minute you introduced the term “engineers” you invited @ExiledInIllinois to go on a five paragraph diatribe about the Army Corps of Engineers and his service to this country. Keep it together man!!

 

Carp

 

 

Might as well keep him busy all in one place. Know where to find him, that’s the way I see it.

Weren't they also revolutionary siege engineers?

 

 

No.

 

 

They were good siege engineers, and invented the siege tower.  But really...siege warfare was pretty much all the same until the siege of Constantinople in 1453: march up, ask for terms, if you don't get them you rush the walls.  If that fails, you dig in and hope either the city gives up or someone inside the city shows you a secret way in, before either a relieving army shows up, or your besieging army dies from starvation and disease.

Why do all the TV stations show commercials at the same time?

 

When commercials come on, I start flipping channels. If a different channel had something other than a commercial, I might be tempted to stop and watch. 

 

Of course, commercials are how TV channels make their money, so there is probably a deal among the channels to synchronize the commercials so viewers give up and watch some of them.

Why is it that I can find print articles, You Tube videos etc. about the absolute fun to be had whilst catching Asian Carp via a baited hook? I thought all carp were filter feeders and simply plopped themselves facing upstream whilst holding their maws open to eat.

Have a nice 60 day vacation. You are now reported for asking a question @ExiledInIllinois will answer with 11 paragraphs, pie charts and links from “Asian Carp Fishing News”. May God have mercy on your soul.

Stimulate me.

 

And no.  That's NOT code Fonzi.

Not code?

 

OK Batman riddle me this why are all of the button holes on my shirt cut vertically except the bottom one which is horizontal?

 

& remember the rules, no peeky.

Hmmm.

 

Because if it's tucked in your pants and if you go "SCHWING!" you don't want to pop a button?

 

NSFW... Only on Casual Fridays:

 

 

Hope your shirt tails are untucked and unbuttoned... Because even a horizontal button won't stop it from popping.

This subject is one of many that @Gugny has educated me on.
