Onions are spicy and apples are sweet. How is that the same taste?

I know this isn't the place to ask, but My problem has really been bugging the deuce out of me. Is there any way you can help me out? Its all in the topic "WHY WON"T THE GAMES PROCESS MY SCORES?" lol. It doesn't have anything to do with neopets, if you don't play. I think its a problem with my computer. And i need desperate help!

Did you know when you're born your skull is soft to pass through the uterus and separated into several pieces. It forms together very quickly and that's why people lay babies flat on their backs so their skulls aren't misshapen.

Yes. Most people have the same MASS brain, they just use a bigger percentage of the capacity. Einstein only had a few of the brains' fields down anyway; we don't hear any MUSICAL achievements by him, now do we?

Did you know that Michigan has a city named Hell?
Some country in the world made it illegal to frown at a cow.
