mysteries...

Some of the great mysteries of life:
-what is arcon on?
-why do all the topics deviate from their original meaning?
-how do all fencers become insane? Is it that crazy ppl are drawn to fencing, or that fencing turns normal ppl crazy? (either way, I admit it...)
-could it..is it...possible to say that no one type of fencing style is better than another, and rather all are equal in that aspect?

If anybody else has any questions of fecing...or life (you mean life ISN'T related to fencing?) post them here...get those harbored inner questions out of your psyche...

-If Seven-11 convenience stores are open 24 hours a day, why is there a lock on the door?

-Why do women say they want honesty in a relationship, but hate it when we, men, honestly answer the question "Do you think these *insert article of clothing here* make me look fat?"

-Why do we park in our driveway, but drive on the parkway?

If a fencer steps off the strip, and noone is around to hear it, did he actually step off the strip?

Why is the sky blue and the grass green?

Because grass contains a green pigment called chlorophyll, and the rays of light from the sun refract in the atmosphere and form the color blue, b/c of this refraction..

Why do people always say "TOUCHE!" and wave their arm like a sword when you tell them you are a fencer....

Simple...they're idiots

Is there life after fencing or even during injury?

After fencing? How can there be?

Why do fencers seem to like fanstasy/sc fi?

It does seem to be rather ironic, but I have noticed many of that genre contain mention of swords, or duels, or sword fighting...

Why are we alive?

It's all part of some sick, sick joke.

Rick - Being serious, I've wondered that about 7-11's also! I found out that they have locks because of crime. If they're robbed, the police need to secure the crime scene.

Hello gang,

Why is it that the things one loves to do in life are either the most frustrating (hard to do), or expensive?

Cheers
B.

Nothing is impossible = everything is possible.

Therefore, might it be possible for something, somewhere, somewhen, to be impossible?

Is this possible?

Why do we call them "buildings"?
Aren't they done?
They should be called "builts."
