I am not enough of a computer nerd; so I had to look it up.

*BZZZZZ!*  (Incorrect answer buzzer. ?)

Hint:  The "F" does not represent a word.

GREAT HINT!!!!!!!  To cite a quotation rightly or wrongly attributed to a famous person , "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!" (Enough said!)  ?

But it doesn't represent the letter "F" either! ?

KSNJFL

 

If you know what that means, then you really ARE a nerd! ?

Ok, ok...  Since I obviously couldn't get any of the old nerds to come out and play, here's the answer:

Those letters were the designations of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 from the original sexidecimal notation (as it was called) which were used with the first computers!  Now it's called hexidecimal and uses the letters ABCDEF instead.  The original KSNJFL goes back to the Bardot Code (before ASCII).

Now you know. ?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Did you ever stop and wonder...

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?'

Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's bum.'

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does your Gynecologists leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Stop singing and read on...

Actually, the one that always makes me wonder involves those toads that are psychedelic when licked.  SOMEONE had to be first to try it and that's more than a little disturbing!  LOL!

And that brings us to the either Aztecs or Mayan's: One of their rituals involves a hallucinogentic that requires it has to be broken down by another substance before the body can absorb it.  So they have to mix it with another plant before it gets them in a "Spiritual" state.

Ya gotta wonder how many it took down before they got the formula right!!

I always wondered about the ones who tried squid or lobster. I won't touch that stuff - still.
