Der Nister Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 This one is indeed interesting and useless. The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." uses every letter of the alphabet!
taysteewonderbunny Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 This one is indeed interesting and useless. I knew that one because we used it in typing class.

taysteewonderbunny Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 who the hell uses 57 sheets of toilet paper in one day???????? The same people who eat Taco Bell for breakfast, lunch, dinner and fourthmeal?
aequorea Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 pants means underwear in england. like panties but without the ies. this confused me almost, but not quite, as badly as the fact that fanny means ... female genitalia.
Der Nister Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I knew that one because we used it in typing class. Ah see I did not know that because I never took typing class.
taysteewonderbunny Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Ah see I did not know that because I never took typing class. WHat? you mean your mother never forced you to take useless classes in summer school? Man, I feel gypped of a childhood. I mean, I could've spent that time in the library.
aequorea Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 The same people who eat Taco Bell for breakfast, lunch, dinner and fourthmeal? NO DOUBT!!!
