Broken: (Just for fun) Wonderments

Nothing really broken (severely, anyway), just things to make you go, "hmmmm..."
Why is it that when you give someone "a penny for their thoughts," they give you their "two cents worth?"
What does it mean when you see an "end speed limit" sign? Can you go as fast as you want?
Why does "speed zone ahead" mean you're going to have to slow down?
End speed limit with no other speed limit sign means resume the unmarked road speed limit, ie 55 mph, at least here in PA.
I saw one once on a freeway offramp. The ramp split into two lanes. The sign said "USE BOTH LANES". So I drove right down the middle...
_@_v - why people like to say it's "cold as hell" in the winter and it's "hot as hell" in the summer? isn't hell one temperature all the time? at least when i hear "it'll be a cold day in hell" i'm inclined to think it's always gonna be pretty hot...
She snail, the reason is there is great debate whether hell is endothermic or exothermic. We can assume that an ever larger group of people are going to hell. If hell is constantly expanding then it's possible that hell is very cold, but if hell is fixed in size then the increasing density of souls with a limited space would create increasing pressure and heat.
In short it's hot as hell.
Why don't women wear night gowns to night clubs?
Why don't these words rhyme?
tough, trough, through, though, bough
Why do women pluck their eyebrows, then draw them back in?
Josh Wood, you did read the college essay going around with that, right?

Why do flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? Why do ships carry cargo and trucks carry shipments?
In my town we have a sign that says "speed zone ahead". Put the new posted speed is 5 mph faster than the one that was posted at the begining of the road with no discernable difference in the road.
in FL there is a sign pointing to an offramp that says "KEY WEST 3.0 miles" when key west is 100 more miles south!
