Board: Stupider Questions About Letterboxing
i did notice someone has a personal traveller (and personal stamps to give out) if you answer her when she asks you which way is north with "up". Check out CapeCodLetterboxer's new HH traveller listed here on AQ (under Travellers) and also LBNA (under...

Excellent way to post about a mystery box! I just wish it were somewhere I could have actually gotten to! Maybe one day. : ) Shell Knights of Columbo

Welcome to the Tarheel state. It is relatively safe for yankees to enter these days. Depending on how you arrive, I suggest you try to take in the outdoor drama of "The Lost Colony" on Manteo (MAN-tee-o) Island. It depicts the story of the first colony...

If the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. What is the speed of dark? Get Smart - Max

Well Shucks! Guess I missed that one entirely. Thanks for the update and it is a neat idea, plus a lot of work on your part. Even though I was way off track on "Which way is North", it could certainly serve as a "sign -counter sign" authentication f...

That is like asking the speed of a unicorn. Darkness does not exist, it is nothing (no photons). If you say darkness is "light leaving," then it would be the same speed as light. Love, Scheherezade

No, no, according to Dr. Science (he's smarter than you, he has a doctor's degree...in Science!) the speed of dark is merely broken, so it sits around the house until someone fixes it. Another one that he addresses is Do you have to patent a cow to h...

Quote I guess I'm not seeing it Eidolon! Me, either. But then, I've never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to mysteries. I love 'em, but I'm not all that great at the nuances of them. DebBee

Ok...not a stupid question, but a real head scratcher. I remember it from the tv show "Different World". A professor in a physics class asked: Why does a mirror reverse things left and right, but not up and down? phew...glad I was an art major S~N~K

SNK-- In Greensboro, we always said "THEE-ay-ter." And Y'all was never "You-all." Always "yawl." DebBee

Ooh, it never occured to me to wonder about that, but it's a poser. I'm guessing it's due to the same thing I experience in karate class when I face someone and they're supposed to punch me, only I can never figure out which is their right and which i...

Hi there Lotus, There are many places to explore in the outer banks. What particular area are you looking at visiting? I have lived on the east coast all my life. One of the most fun things to do here is deep sea fishing. You can hop on a charter fr...

Amanda is correct, however, we here in the south tend to use it to mean both. Goodness I can create quite a little stir can't I. HA HA HA jen

Well, this is definitely OT as concerns letterboxing but I beg to differ on the spelling of y'all. As a contraction of "you all," the apostrophe replaces the "ou". The pronunciation is definitely "yawl"--the more drawn out the better. However, there is...
by DebBeeProfileContactLogbookNote

I wasn't going to say it, because I tend to drive people crazy by being the grammar police, but since Knit Wit brought it up, yes, the apostrophe has to go between the Y and the A, even though an awful lot of people put it between the A and the first L...

Quote It's funny how many areas of the country have come up with a word to serve this purpose, since English doesn't really have an official one, the way some other languages do. In Michigan, we used to say "you guys". Didn't matter what gender the fo...

Ha! I don't normally visit this board, but saw the subject and totally agree that the apostrophe should be between the y and a. However, most people I know write it ya'll, which drives me nuts. In Miami and Cleveland (my childhood residences) the pl...

Ok. I stand corrected, but I will still spell it ya'll, even if just to annoy ya'll. LOL For us, it is stuffing, icing, soda, and chili dog. But don't forget the miracle whip (no mayo.) Hehe... Liz
