The abbreviation e.g. is for the Latin exempli gratia, "for example."

I.e., Latin id est, means "that is."

They're not interchangeable.

Both abbreviations should be followed by a comma.

Why don't airports have clocks everywhere so you can tell how much time there is before your flight? I mean come on! Those darn Victorians designed their train stations around the clocks and yet we don't even have the common sense to carry that logic forward?

Portland is one of the worst when it comes to no visible clocks. Sorry my pet peeve

if we are just gonna die ne way, why do ppl even do stuff? why are we even here? which i guess is the ultimate ultimate question why are we here

Why do people type so stupid when they're online?

What's with this "neway, u, r, ur, sum" etc???

Yes P-town has a lack of public timepieces, and public bathrooms, too, from what the bums tell me. However, there are many fine watch stores.

Here's one that eats at me: How does human memory work? Is there a limit to how much we can know? how is it stored? How is it accesssed? Why can't we remember things at certain times?

Ever wandered into a room and forgot why you were there? I think that's how dogs spend their lives.

Socks are extradimensional nexuses to another world. Occasionally, wormholes open inside socks. This is why sometimes, even on the hottest days, you get cold feet from time to time. THis is how the debris gets into your socks that always bewilder you as to how it got into your sock. Anyhoo... if you turn your socks inside out when you wash them, then when a wormhole opens, the sock gets sucked into itself, and is never seen in this dimension again.

ALways leave your socks rightside-in.

That is a simple one. Your wife/girlfriend/other female who may do your laundry threw them out. Women do this to men ona random basis to make us question our sanity!

At least that is what I accused my wife of!

Sooo many deep thoughts:

There is one question that probably drives just about every vampire crazy: "Oh, do you know Dracula?"

I wish I had a dollar for every time I spent a dollar, because then, yahoo!, I'd have all my money back.

If you lived in the Dark Ages, and you were a catapult operator, I bet the most common question people would ask is, "Can't you make it shoot farther?" No. I'm sorry. That's as far as it shoots.

If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.

I guess of all my uncles, I liked Uncle Cave Man the best. We called him Uncle Cave Man because he lived in a cave and because sometimes he'd eat one of us. Later on we found out he was a bear.

I bet what happened was, they discovered fire and invented the wheel on the same day. Then, that night, they burned the wheel.

It's funny how two simple words, "I promise," will stall people for a while.

It seemed to me that, somehow, the blue jay was trying to communicate with me. I would see him fly into the house across the way, pick up the telephone, and dial. My phone would ring, and it would be him, but it was just this squawking and cheeping. "What?! What?!" I would yell back, but he never did speak English.

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.

on my AIM profile, there is a thing that gives you a random Deep Thought... they are all numbered, and there is over 400 of them. Thats where I got all these.

He's right on! All of my favorite clothes from my younger years are missing. I KNOW she threw them out!
