the answer: he likes them, deal with it.
Just because you can't explain it doesn't mean there isn't an explanation.

lol, its nothing like asking a monkey why he likes bannanas... its more like asking why is it in english we write from left to right, but in arabic we write from right to left... There is a history of about it, and there is a reason out there, though it might be hard to find!!!!

Misunderstand it? You had a one word comment.

Is the easiest way always the best way?

You said "yes."



But I hope none of us are taking this thread TOO seriously.
