I do kinda want an answer to this. It wasn't a rhetorical question.
All I know is that the song was originally titled "Knowing She Would", but due to puritanical England being, well, puritanical and prude, it was changed to "Norwegian Wood". I'd imagine John would have been pretty pissed to not have gotten any and being made to sleep in the bathtub, so yea...burned the bitch down.

If
• all cars become electric; and
• Thin film solar technology ends up on the windows of office buildings
would the owners of those buildings build so many "pay to charge" carparks to earn profit from the collected solar energy, that parking in cities would never be a problem again?

Frogs are stupid. In the past week I've removed 2-5 dead frogs from my pool skimmer every morning. I just toss them into my neighbour's yard.

I was driving along, I saw a truck that said "Triumph Plumbing" on the side. The very instant I read the word "Triumph", the guy on the news said the word "triumph".

Freaked me out, man.

I don't have random thoughts, Everything I do and say is coldly calculated for maximum reward and effect. I think my posts perfectly illustrate that?? Don't be jealous of my Stature... It makes you seem petty....
