    Even more stupid questions!



    If you had to-absolutely had to- choose, what would you give up:


    (1) love or money?

    (2) your eyesight or your hearing?

    (3) wealth or freedom?

    (4) fridge or washing machine

    (5) TV, mobile phone, or web access ?

    What about 'it' ?

    'It' is a weird word in English.

    It doesn't have an equivalent in some languages.

    It can mean loads of things.

    Some of them are obvious, others are mysterious, secretive, cynical, sarcastic, you name it, it covers it.

    Think of a sentence or a phrase with 'it' and entertain us with what it might mean?

    Did you notice how often we use it by the way?

    yes there are tons of stupid questions but where it gets difficult is that stupidity is subjective.

    That really made me laugh. I guess to stop the lid from falling off and scaring people...though it is kinda funny when you think it's not like they will try and escape.

    I would like to understand the ''3'' actually. I see it being used and I figure maybe it's something to do with arabic and it's translation into English but i've never understood...

    [3] salma stands for a sound in Arabic that can't be represented using an ordinary keyboard. So [3] is the nearest to it and the way it is pronounced is like the initial sound in 'Ali' , not just 'A-li' but Aali' , produced right at the back of your throat. Think of 'al-3aalameen', same sound.
