"Is this a rhetorical question?"

If you are going to go all metaphysical, you can divide by nought and the answer is infinity.

And I doubt if any of my odd socks match yours.

A recent leaflet through the door about home safety informed those with open-fires to ensure that an inflamable fireguard should be used at all times....

Why do flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?

Why in films, when someone is using a torch they ALWAYS shine the torch directly at the camera at least once?

Again in films, when people are running away someone has to fall. (sorry ladies but it's usually a woman)

Yes, I always think 'silly cow'. Or alternatively she breaks a heel, so stops and pulls the other one off and runs like that.
