  • Does anything come with a straight six anymore?

    The reason I ask is, could i go to the junkyard and find a straight six engine that would bolt in my 67 chevy van. A newer make, or am I better off rebuilding the Original engine? Everything has pretty much gone to V sixes now hasn't it?

  • Is Kentucky fried chicken the slackest restaurant ever?

    I tried to get grilled chicken at the location in Elberton, Ga, but they didn't have it. I tried at the location in Athens Ga. They didn't have it. I tried at the location in Seneca S.C. last week. They didn't have it. I tried again today, and they said they had it, but they couldn't take my debit card. They could only take cash. Why do they spend money on advertising if they aren't prepared to sell you the product advertised? How are they even in business anymore? Is it just here in the south ?

    What the hell?

  • Am I a bad person? I'm having a hard time forgiving.?

    I know Michael Vick is out of jail now and wanting to go back to football, but I'm having a hard time forgetting what he's done. Part of me hopes that the instant he sets foot on a field, the ghosts of all the dogs he savagely murdered attack and dismember him, and that the dogs have rabies.

    Another part of me says its evil to wish rabies upon ghost dogs.

  • Are tree frogs harmful to a swimming pool?

    My Girlfriend has an above ground pool, and there are these frogs that hang out in there. They are about the size of a quarter, whitish with yellow markings, and they seem to mostly hang out on the inside sides, except for at night. Then they float around on the pool toys and make all kids of noise. I assume they are calling mates. I say they are tree frogs because they have the little suction cup toes. Mostly they just hang around, but I have seen them swimming. Are they harmful in any way other that the occasional froggie poop? I usually only see two or three of them.

  • Okay, I understand THC is stored in the fat cells for many years, Right?

    So, if you make a fat stoner go on a diet, as he burns body fat, he will also be burning his stored THC and will therefore get stoned by exercising....right?

    No?

  • Whats the deal with the nitrogen lately?

    Shell or someone is advertising that they have it in their gasoline now, and the dealership up the road has a sign out saying that they fill tires with it for 40 dollars. Is this all a load of crap as I suspect, or am I wrong?

    How does nitrogen aid in combustion, and how is changing the type of gas you put in your tires going to make any significant change in anything?

  • My 86 nissan truck 6 cylinder keeps running too warm. ( i haven't let it overheat) ?

    I replaced the water pump recently (worn out) but that didn't fix it, so i replaced the thermostat. That didn't fix it either. Today i replaced the hoses, but no help. for some reason there seems to be rust in the water. Iv'e flushed it several times but the water still looks rusty after a short while. There is no water in the oil, so I dont think its a head gasket. What the heck is it? And how do I fix it?

    Its got 208,000 miles..I know, its old, but I like it and it runs great other that the temp. problem.

  • How do you stop the dog from raiding the fridge?

    My little 10lb dog will nose the door open and eat whatever he can reach. He never closes the door when he is done, so all my food is warm when I get home from work, and I worry about it being safe to eat.

    I thought about putting a strap of some sort on the door, but that would be inconvenient for me, and not very intellectually challenging for the dog. I want him to learn a lesson.

    What if i put a cat in the fridge? That would scare him and get rid of all my warm groceries too. What do you guys think?

    Where can you rent a cat?

  • What kind of paint should I use on a rusty old utility trailer?

    Its pretty sad and rusty looking, and i want to paint it so it looks better and to protect the welds and such. It has wire mesh in the front and would be almost impossible to sand. Is there some kind of paint that can go right over the rusty stuff? Im thinking maybe an oil based paint?

  • whats with this "whatever" crap?

    Ten years ago it was "talk to the hand" that made me want to punch people, now it's "whatever"

    Do you people not recognize how ignorant you sound, or do you just do it to be insufferably annoying?

    Either way, its ill mannered and if it doesn't stop soon, somebody's gonna get punched.

  • answers has ruined my self esteem. And I thought i was so clever?

    But i can only get to 9% or so. I thought i was smart, and when i answered in a joke, I thought it was hilarious. But no, 9% tells me otherwise.I'm only 9% smart/funny. I feel so humiliated.

    Ya know, when i joined this thing back in july, I thought by now i would be famous for my solid advice, and revered by many for my witticisms, but no, I have 9%.

    Im thinking maybe you guys don't appreciate me and the beer money I have invested in this project was a total waste.

    Im so depressed. Any advice?

  • Why did Jesus turn water into wine?

    It seems that most religious folks are against the use of alcohol. Where does that come from?

    And if alcohol is bad, why would Jesus turn perfectly good water into wine? Its not because folks were thirsty, they had water.

    Im serious here, and am searching for real answers.

    If you're just gonna call me names and tell me I'm going to hell, don't bother.

    I already know that.

  • I have a Miniature rose plant in a pot in my kitchen. Is there anything i need to do to it?

    Its just that its winter outside, and my little rose bush is all happy and producing flowers in the window. Do they need to "hibernate" or need a period of cold to do well, Or will he just keep on being a happy little rose bush all winter? His name is Dennis, if that matters, and he is 6 1/2 inches tall.

    This very moment. What happened a second ago is now just a memory, and what will happen one second from now is just an assumption. Why don't people realize that and be kinder to each other?

  • Im confused about this whole God thing. If god loves us, then why did he create parasitic worms to infect us?

    there are insects that lay their eggs in other living animals, and when the eggs hatch, the young EAT their way out of the host animal, killing it in a most excruciatingly painful way. Why would a caring God create such an animal? If God created all creatures, why oh why would he create such a misery inducing method of reproduction? I tend to think God is a myth, and if he is real, he is one sick bastard.
