We have schools to torture any child who's slightly out of the "norm", and to inculcate NT societal norms.

Next question.

Do people who make annoying commercials know how bad they are?

Why exactly are buffalo wings called buffalo wings?

I think buffalo wings originated in Buffalo, N.Y.

They delideratly make commercials as annoying as possible so you'll remember them.

Who milked the first cow? Beats the hell outta me. What must he have been thinking? Of course we figured out that we could milk goats long before cows. Did you know that ants farm and milk aphids?


Thanks for reiterating my answers.

Buffalo wings are named after Buffalo New York ( the town) because thats where they were invented.

Commercials are crafted to be annoying so that you will remember the product name.

Although early man noticed that both cows and humans nurse their young why someone decided to exploit cow's milk by hand milking a cow- I dont know. Thats interesting question.

ANd i guess two people already gave this answer. But I cant delete it.

But I guess if goat milking really did come first its easier to imagine early man experimentng with goats as a source of baby food for humans -first- before extrapolating to using a big animal like a cow for that purpose. Only after centuries milking cows did some wierdo mutatant humans grow up with the wierd talent for being able to digest milk as adults.

If a rooster lays an egg on the top of the barn and the winds blowing in all directions, which way does the egg fall?

The answer is that YOU laid the egg!

Roosters don't lay eggs. Hens do.

Was the movie, Rain Man the very thing that caused Autism Speaks to form? If it was, I hate that organization even more.

A Christian might answer, "Not yet, but there will be."
A Muslim might answer, "Oh yes of course."
A Jew would hesitate to answer because the Torah is silent on the subject.
An atheist might answer, "Yes. We are the afterlife of previous generations."

Recent scientific study points to the possibility of quantum consciousness after death, but the subject is debated. One thing is sure, though. We only have to wait, and the question will be answered.
