Why are battered onion rings in restaurants all the same size?
What happens to the rest of the onion?
How are they sorted for size?

I usually make bahjies out of the other bits. (or is that bargees?)

Why do men have nipples?

easy one! Because we all start out as embryos the same, our gender is only determined later in the gestation perod  but by that time our nipples are already there, like that tattoo you wished you never got

Why is marmalade called marmalade and not called 'orange jam'

this is absolutely true.  Though  gender (in the brain) is different from physical sex at birth. (ie:- physical attributes.) It's complicated, a lot more than many people think...

Why is marmalade called marmalade and not called 'orange jam'

Because it should be made out of marmelo, or quince. In Portugal, marmelada is that rich and delicious quince paste that you eat with cheese, and orange jam is made with sweet oranges  and totally different to our lovely bitter tasting marmalade.

Home made jams in Portugal are different - I remember sitting down to breakfast with three homemade jams on the table - pumpkin, tomato (red tomato, not a way of using up green ones), and carrot!

We've all heard the expression, 'Well, however bad it might be, there's always someone worse off'.

So, the poser ? who is the poor sod on the planet 'than whom there is no-one worse off'?

Why don't they make oversuits out of that stuff they wrap DVDs in, everybody knows you cant rip that

Why is marmalade called marmalade and not called 'orange jam'

For the same reason it's lemon curd, not lemon jam.

For the same reason it's lemon curd, not lemon jam.

Why not lemon cheese?

But it's not the same reason. Marmalade is a jam made from oranges, misnamed after a foreign fruit name, lemon curd/lemon cheese has eggs in it and so isn't a jam, since jams should be just fruit and sugar. Jam from lemons is lemon marmalade.

OK, smartypants!

How come you never see a ghost dressed in a shell suit & trainers?

 

[cavermark]

..because I'm never dressed in a shell suit and trainers!

 

[Laurie]

Every ghost I've ever seen was dressed in a shell suit and trainers.

Rain weighs 1Kg/L, no matter how heavy it gets.

 

[Vulcan]

Because Kg/L isn't a unit of weight, its a unit of density (the mass per unit volume). Hence it can't have a weight of 1 Kg/L, it has a density of 1 Kg/L, and this would remain constant (at constant pressure and temperature).

 

[Laurie]

Awkward *%!&*!

OK, 1 Ltr of rain weighs 1 Kg no matter how heavy it gets.  :tease:

 

[Pitlamp]

"Kg/L" isn't a unit of anything.

"kg/dm3" might be more precise. (The "3" should be superscript of course but I'm far too dumb to work out how to make it go up there!)

So, yep, one "litre" of rain (if pure) weighs 1 kg.

OK, I'll just get my coat . . .

Shouldn't that be one litre of rain at standard density and pressure weighs 1Kg?

 

[IanWalker]

technically speaking, kilogram is the unit of mass (not of weight)

weight is a force and would be expressed in newton
