---New question now. Now sometimes you go into those older barbershops you see those red/white/blue spiraling stripes going from up to down on those poles, what exactly did those mean again? I don't quite remember but I think it had something to do back into the Civil War or something, correct?

Question: Why are so many women picky about the position of toilet seats?
I've never quite understood why my female cousins/relatives/mother continue to give me hell everytime I leave the toilet seats upright. Someone please enlighten me. |

With that said, I have adapted to the "girls' rules" long ago. Yet, my cousins still find ways to make me suffer from their never-ending feminine wrath. Last edited by [DOT].L; 2007-08-21 at 01:10. Reason: bah, spelling |

Wow, that is bizarre. How can someone sit down on a toilet seat without checking it first, and then feel entitled to complain? One must always check, if only to avoid the yellow puddles and brown spots of the innacurate.
But I guess the point is mute these days in our house because of the new cat, who feels compelled to remove all the water from the toilet bowl for some unknowable reason, forcing everyone to remember to keep the lid down. |

In my life experiences, the females have always been in the majority, and they have always had to use the bathroom more frequently than the males. The latter is really the only acceptable reasoning for why the seat should be kept down, in my opinion. It's not a big deal either way.

Hmm, I'm sure guys will find a way to combat my reasoning, but this is the way I see it:
Girls need the toilet seat down 100% of the time. Guys need the toilet seat down maybe 25% of the time (depending on the individual). To keep it simple, that's 63% of the time that the toilet seat will need to be down (assuming there is an equal amount of girls as guys in the household). Since that's 63% versus 37%, I say keep the toilet seat down. And in households that are made up mostly of guys, it's not unusual for the toilet seat to just stay up anyways. EDIT: or just listen to Ledgem above me. XD |

I'll be happy to try to answer any specific questions you may have. BTW, with which of the two sports are you most familiar? It will be easier to explain the differences if I know which to use as the baseline for comparison. I played american football (defensive lineman / linebacker) in junior high and high school, and was on the varsity rugby team (blindside flanker) in college, so I have some experience with both. |

On the topic of toilet seats, it's funny since my family asks me to leave the thing open. They say it's to keep it from accumulating foul odors.
Isn't one of the main differences between rugby and American football the fact that in the former you can't pass the ball forward with your hands? I'm not much versed in either sport.

Either this is something really, really wierd or I simply didn't explain the issue properly. I may as well bump the question again a few months from now.

Interesting question, but the answer varies greatly depending on the restaurant that makes the food.
For a whole pizza, between $5 and $20, more toppings means an even higher price. In my experience I've found that a decent-quality large-sized pizza is around $12~$15, and anything less will probably taste a lot "cheaper". Only taking into account hamburgers from fast-food chains, between $1 and $5 for a single hamburger. For the pizza (I don't know about the hamburgers), you should compare the sizes of a large in the US to a large in your country -- I was surprised to find that a large pizza in Korea is about the size of a small here, and thus a large there was a lot cheaper. How are the prices of them where you live? |

Hmm... Large size pizza with full topping is around Rp. 80000 (around $8~$10), hamburgers ranging from Rp. 5000 to Rp. 20000 ($.60~$3), meal set (fried chicken, rice and cola) is around Rp. 6000 (service time) to Rp. 15000 ($.75~$2)...
My usual meal at local restaurant is around Rp. 4000 ($.50), so i still consider that they're quite expensive, lol i'm cheap... Well, it's quite surprising for me that the price is almost the same...
