"If you stand at the bottom of a well, you would be able to see the stars even in the daytime."
Wouldn't the water distort the image?
Stump...
Maybe that is why you are seeing stars, you are not getting enough oxygen :D
I would like to know what Einstein is doing in this picture, thank you.
Anong...
Nah, if you cannot work it out, then I am not going to tell you! ;)
Is he a relative of yours!! get it!?? if you can continue to badger people with stuff like well gazing, then I can be corny. Got any trivia on corn btw??
Anong...
I am badgering you, how so?
Nah, he is not a relative of mine. Nope, don't get it! But then again I am not good at these things.
To answer your previous question. He is sticking his tongue out.
I don't know if I have any trivia on corn. If I do, then I will be sure to post it.
relative... relativity!! snort snort. Look, its batik shirt day here but there is no excuse for nonsense in Sydney. Badgering - that'd make a nice trivia. Could badgering be a term used for registering intellectual property??
Anong...
Very clever indeed.
