I have another thing.

Why do you turn the music down on your radio while your in the car when you can't find the way?
Why do you press harder on the TVremote when the batteries are about to die?
Why do you press the button for the elevator several times? (It doesn't come faster..)

And btw. It's impossible to lick your own elbow.

(9/10 people reading this will try to lick their own elbows..)

#1 - Erm, because your thinking.
#2 - Makes you feel better.

I have one. Why doesn't Dom_sufc know the meaning of a rhetorical question

[MarlaSinger]

From bash.org:

- Hey, you know what sucks?
- Vacuums.
- Hey, you know what sucks in a metaphorical state?
- Black holes.
- Hey, you know what just isn't cool?
- Lava.

it's the five dollar bill (canada does not have a $2 bill anymore) and it's not an american flag. it's the red ensign - which was the flag of the country during the time of the prime minister who is pictured on the note (sir wilfred laurier).

also, the building, technically, is not the parliament building. it's the parliamentry library which is part of the parliament buildings.

To take apart Pulp Fiction more....


Everyone who dies is pretending to be something they're not. (Zed/policeman, Vincent Vega/world traveller, Butch's opponent)

Tarantino loves pie. (many mentions in all his films)

Micheal Madsen's "Vic Vega"in Reservoir Dogs is Travolta's "Vincent Vega"'s brother.

(Btw the Harvey Keitel's character mentions "Alabama" as his wife.... before he sold the script for True Romance, Tarantino had Clarence dying at the end, and Alabama meeting and marrying Mr White!)
