How come?

How come all giant monsters that stomp on cities, no matter what their origins (radioactive accident, outer space, lost island packed with monsters) have silmilar proportions that make them good matchups for one another?

Intelligent design.

Actually, a good answer. Now you how come.

How come whenever I call my bank I have to key in my account number, but when I finally get connected to a representative I still need to tell them who I am?

Because any moron can punch in 12 random numbers. It's a step you really should be thankful for. How come hockey games have three stars of the game? And how come no other sports do it? (oops, that's two how comes).

Because it's tradition! Tra-di-tion!

how come my 11-year old can text, IM and e-mail, while talking on the phone, listening to her i-pod and watching tv, all at the same time... and i still haven't figured out to retrieve my voicemail?

Because it ain't new technology to an 11-year old. It's just stuff they use. How come we don't use bidets in America?

To Vic - your kid is a digital native, while you're a digital immigrant. To Seo - we don't need bidets because our hygiene is generally much better than Europeans' hygiene. How come we are given grades of A, B, C, D and F, but not E?

Because it's too easy to morph an E into a B. How come we tolerate the growing income gap between the super-rich and the middle class?

Fairy, lol on the hygeine thingy. They don't use E because F stands for FLUNK and E stands for....well, nothing bad. How come people are bitching about not having money for Christmas but on Black Friday they were out in force buying $600 TVs and stompng people to death. Are they giving TVs for Christmas gifts?

I know, I know...
