Ever wonder: Why is powdered milk called ‘Instant milk’ when actual milk is more instant. Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains? Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural? Do they lock petrol station bathrooms because they‘re afraid someone will clean them? Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date?
Just wonderin’.

@Flash Carnation used to sell "Instant Breakfast"; I thought, "That's too slow -- I want retroactive breakfast!"

Is bikini the singular of bikinii or the plural of bikinus?

Why doesn't "tortilla" rhyme with "Godzilla"?
