They're almost perfect opposites - uncopyrightable means that it can be copied (and noone can stop you), dematopglyphics are unique, and so can't be copied.

How many letters are there in the Hawaiian alphabet?

10?

What is strange about the word Stewardessess?

A touch typist will type it using only the left hand. It is the longest English word that this can be done with.

What is the only word in English which sounds the same when the last 4 letters are removed?

"Ummmmmm"

Where does the expression “rule of thumb” come from?

From the typical measurement of the distance between the tip of an adult's thumb and the first joint being 1 inch.

How much water does a 10 gallon hat hold (British measures)

Not that much, by a long shot. [img]smile.gif[/img]

What are Silk Worms?

They are worms who's droppings are used to make silk (hence the name). I think they're mostly found in Asia.

What happens about 30 minutes after you rub a cut onion on to the soles of your feet?

You taste it.

How many different ways are there to give change for a Dollar?

That would depend on what country you're in. For example, the US has quarters, Australia doesn't... and then there's the countries that don't have 'dollars' at all.


EDIT: Removed one answer because I didn't read the question properly...

ROFL @ Donkee basterd. It's not what you think Donut, it's sugar. although i haven't heard of that brand before. I Googled around a little, and there was a site from Donkee Basterd Sugar, but it was down for me. Apparently it's made in Amsterdam, but that's all i came up with.

Google did ask if i didn't mean Donkey Bastard instead, but i don't think i want to know where it would have brought me if i clicked that link.

[armageddon272]

What do you score if you play the word “SQUEEZY” ON THE FIRST TURN IN Scrabble Make sure to get the bonus for using all seven letters... How many different ways are there to give change for a US Dollar? I'd google for that one...

[Dron_Cah]

I didn't read your whole quiz, sorry. I had to respond to this one, though:
Where does the expression “rule of thumb” come from?

The rule of thumb was in accordance to how thick of a stick Puritans used to beat their wives with. It was to be as thick as their thumb, or less.
