The days are getting longer every year. The Earth's rotation is slowing, and not at a constant rate. Since the mid 1980s, the we've lost over 21 seconds in the day.


Why? Why? Why?

Magnanimous and muckraking.

If 7-11 stores are open 24 hours 365 days a year, why do they put locks on the doors?

Oh, and guys. BTW. At least ATTEMPT to give an answer. I hate all these "I don't know."s. Sheesh, at least TRY to be a good sport.

So they can lock the doors if they want to, and keep all the nuts out (or in, as the case may be).

BTW, days do get shorter and longer, it's not just daylight savings time.

Why do humans exist?

Because the first time traveler went back in time with a woman and became stuck in the time before humans existed.

BTW, M&M stands for Mars & Murrie.

What's the name of Moby's first CD?
