Default the random things you notice thread

I'm not sure how long this will last but whatever.



So I was surfing another less car oriented forum where they praise Scooby's and sometimes Audi's but then it hit me like a brick




In the Fast and The Furious 1, doesn't the "bad" guy want to get three SR20's for his Civics?

Know I might be wrong but wouldn't putting a Nissan engine in a Honda require some work?

did you ever notice that to log out of windows you have to press start?

did you ever wonder why it is when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the radio?

did you ever wonder why the third hand on a watch is called the second hand?

did you ever wonder why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor but dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?

why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
why is it doctors call what they do "practice"?
why is the man who invests your money called a "broker"?
how come sheep don't shrink when it rains, but a wool sweater does when you wash it?
why isn't there a mouse flavored cat food?
why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

I don't remember if this is what happened, I haven't seen that movie since it came out in theaters. If that's what he said though that is retarded. SR20 is a longitudal engine (rwd) and the Civic (for that matter most Hondas) are transversal mount engines (fwd). It would be entirely impractical, nay, nearly impossible.

Ok, and now for one of my own:

I've always wondered how one goes about throwing away a trash can...

How about, when a fire station catches on fire, who do they call?
