I know, I'm not arguing to be a jerk, I'm just interested. You say that the common understanding is that a dollar bill must be exchanged for several smaller pieces of currency, but as Mike stated, the phrase may be misunderstood which doesn't (IMO) make it understood, that would mean it is...

Dave, why does "make change" mean you have to give a bunch of smaller units? It's called change, because it's different. A dollar bill is different than a dollar coin...you've 'changed' it from paper to metal. - i.e. you've made it change. I think we tend to use the term 'change' to mean a...

Speaking of can openers, the bottle cap (invented in 1892) hasn't really changed at all since it was created. The original design is still the best way to cap your bottles.

Well, my post was a bit long, so I understand. :) I just thought it was funny how we both pretty much said the same thing, almost word for word. Mine:beceause your skin recedes, making the nails look longer Yours:but your skin recedes, which makes your hair and fingernails look longer :D

deja vu!

That happens to me too. It doesn't happen with indoor lights, but if I get to the point where I feel a sneeze coming on and it's taking a long time, I can just look at a bright light and it'll come right out.

Oh, that's what I was actually refering to. The ones where you had to place the individual letters in. I guess they weren't exactly "machines". I only compared it to a typewritter because I didn't think anyone would know what a typesetter was. I'm reminded of the old printing press I worked...

Computer bug being an actual bug is a myth

Birds are the only surviving dinosaurs. I forget the exact numbers, but I once heard that there are like 2-3 million known animal species in the world and like 10 million species still left to be discovered. :eek:

I read that no one knows exactly what the "Mind your P's and Q's" means, but (as James pointed out), there is the one theory about paying attention to wether you're being served a pint or a quart beer. Also, they say it may have to do with the old typesetting machines where the lowercase p's...

Do you have a problem with my posts? Do you want a Peeiece of me??? Bring it on! :D

According to my Snapple cap, Holland is the only country to have a national dog.

And there are only 2 words that end in 'gry'. There is a 3rd, but there is much debate about it. The following aren't exactly concrete, but they're pretty hard to prove wrong: -You can't eat six crackers (without any liquid) in under a minute. -You can't fold a piece of paper (in half) more...

-Your elbows (and forearms) are the only part of your body that you can't touch with both hands. :D -Maine is the only state that is bordered by only one other state.
