Ok, one morning at the convent, Mother Superior addresses the nuns.

“Today is renovation day. We will be remodeling the convent. I want all of you to return to your rooms and repaint the walls.”

Two particular nuns went to the room they shared, and one said, “If we paint with our habits on, we will surely ruin them.” The other agreed, and they decided to paint in the nude.

Shortly, there was a knock at the door. Startled, one nun asked, “Who is it?”

The reply came back, “It’s the blind man.”

“Oh, come on in,” the nun giggled.

A man entered the room, carrying boxes. “Hey, nice hooters. Where do you want these blinds?”

Apparently, Venentian blinds are designed to have the twisting rod on the left and the pulling cord on the right. However, in today’s society, you can custom order them to have them in “reversed” or both on the same side.

The final thing that was argued was the rotation of water in a toilet bowl. Many people may have heard that in the northern hemisphere, the water rotates CCW and in the southern hemisphere, the water roates CW. However, according to Bad Coriolis and Snopes.com, both claim that is false. So in other words, that question really has no answer.

Anyway, one of the biggest debate was related to the lowest number on the FM dial. Personally my car radio goes down to 87.7, and you hardly ever see even numbered radio stations like 88 (usually you tuen to 87.9 to listen to that station if you radio is digital). I was looking it up on Wikipedia: Throughout the world, 87.5-108 MHz (or some portion thereof) is used as a broadcast band, with one very notable exception: Japan, which uses its own unique 76-90 MHz band with 0.1 MHz channel spacing. No this wasn’t the question I thought I should’ve gotten correct.
