I can answer that one - to maintain Gillette’s profits! :smiley:

But perhaps you can tell me what happened to Captain Kidd’s treasure, my pension fund needs a top-up.

I have been to the pub many times and no sign of it there, maybe those that stiched him up took it like normal?

Either that or the fiscs / Inland Revenge.

Because you don’t change them sufficiently frequently.

I remember being told by someone with a very straight (and clean shaven) face that the reason ā€˜proper’ cut throats were sold in pairs was so that you could use them alternately and allow time for the molecules (or something similar) on the edge of each blade to re-align.

Seems yet one more good reason for opting for a ā€˜proper’ safety razor.

And how do you know that it’s ā€˜air’?

Did he also recommend having odd numbers of pages in the magazines in your music room?

We were too poor to have a music room in our hole in the road…

LPs also sound better if you store them with the opening in the sleeve facing upwards. It prevents any of the notes from escaping. :smiley:

I really enjoyed listening to an explanation about what happened to the weight of a USB stick when it filled up with data. It wasn’t what I expected.
I wish you had asked why Gillette razor blades were so expensive, I know the answer to that.

However, that way the light, and possibly the dust can get in, so preferable to store them face down in a darkroom.

Not if you use the ā€œACMEā€ Dusto-O-Maticā„¢ triple-sealed inner sleeves, made from a special escape-proof material first developed by Dr. W.E. Coyote at the University of Arizona .

Where do missing socks go?

When I place a gardening tool (such as a spade or fork) in an obvious spot in the garden, why does it take so long to rediscover it?

Does the fridge light really turn off when I close the door?

Why does my left shoelace always come undone? The right one doesn’t!

Happens to me, but the other way round. Is it because I’m left handed…?
