My mom gave me this question sheet from work the other day and asked me to fill it out. I didn't have a clue for some of them and here's what I could remember.
1. Why do the English call a bathroom a "Loo".
2. Pistachios are dyed red. Why are they dyed red while other
nuts are not?
3. Why are graves 6 feet deep?
4. What do the letters "YKK" on Zippers mean?
5. Why are magazine subscription labels put on upside-down?
6. What is the difference between Partly Cloudy and Partly Sunny?
There's about 4 more that I'll get later.

Ummmm, while the answers seem obvious, I'm stumped.
But the answer to #6 is:
Partly Sunny: When there are more clouds than sun.
Partly Cloudy: When there is more sun than clouds.
I heard a weatherman say that.

1. Why do the English call a bathroom a "Loo".
They call it a "loo" as in Waterloo, where the french were defeated. Why do they do that? Because the English hate the French since the Battel of Creacy.
2. Pistachios are dyed red. Why are they dyed red while other
nuts are not?
Pistachios are dyed red to hide the fact that they have been sprouted. But not all Pistachios are red. Some are dyed green, and others left natural.
3. Why are graves 6 feet deep?
They are not always 6ft. Local laws require a corpse to be burried at least 4ft. In turn, that means it must be dug 6ft to allow for the 2ft coffin.
4. What do the letters "YKK" on Zippers mean?
Its been answered :)
5. Why are magazine subscription labels put on upside-down?
Magazines are upside down so they will go through the mail scanner easier
6. What is the difference between Partly Cloudy and Partly Sunny?
Answered allready :)

4. What do the letters "YKK" on Zippers mean?
I've wondered that all my life! I am so glad to finally know.
1. Why do the English call a bathroom a "Loo".
I'm English and I don't know that.

wow! That's amazing. It's all from a game apparently called Malarky which was unknown to me until 5 minutes ago.
