    Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

    Who put the "Keep off the Grass" sign there?

    I lay awake all night trying to figure them out.

    are'nt these mysteries in the same category as:

    What is the little pocket of the right-hand side of a pair of jeans?

    When you squeeze a tube of toothpaste, how does it come out in three perfect stripes?

    On staplers, in the bit that bends the staples inwards, there is also a bit that bends the staples outwards. Why? Is it used for anything?

    Expiry dates on packets of crisps are ALWAYS on a Saturday. Why is that?

    When your mobile phone has no reception and you're unable to make any calls, how come you're still able to make Emergency Calls Only?

    How do Chinese people type on a keyboard? Their alphabet has hundreds of characters.

    Why is there always more up than down on a ride?

    Why are there only ever headwinds on a ride, no matter what direction you're facing?

    The colours are in seperated sections of the tube by the neck. The coloured sections have a small hole in them by the nozzle of the tube and are open at the other end. As the white toothpaste is squeezed it also pushes up against the coloured paste and the coloured pas is squeezed through a the small hole. As the the white paste comes out of the nozzle drags the coloured paste with it. Apparently!

    I use it when I know I may want to remove the staple. It pulls out easily when the prongs are splayed outwards.

    Should helmets be compulsory ?

    Is WD40 a suitable chain lube ?

    You can't. However, if you have 'no service' rather than 'no reception', it uses one of the other providers.

    With liberal use of the shift, alt and control keys. Each key has four characters on it.

    You have either

    A) Not been on here long enough.

    or

    B) Been on here too long.

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    They do, but it's not shown as it's not one of the highlights of the day. However, one character got in trouble for watching Corrie on his laptop

    Originally it was designed to be for your pocket watch. Now days different companies called it different things - Levi being known for calling it the condom pocket!

    Supposedly the original design breif of the ipod mini (the precursor to the ipod nano) was that it would be small enough to fit into the average sized pocket watch pocket
