Why aren't there B batteries?

How is it possible to have a civil war?

Why do tourists go to the tops of tall buildings and put money into telescopes so they can see things on the ground close-up?

In a moment of alcohol inspired brilliance, I once asked this question of a Waffle House manager. It seems that the doors are locked while they are constructing the store, and at the grand opening, part of the ceremony is to embed the key in cement or frame it, never to be used again.

Kind of takes the mystery out of the whole thing if you ask me.
