Asking WHY makes you WHY-ser
WHY:
Why are there extra buttons added to your jeans?
BECAUSE:
These extra buttons are called rivets. They are placed on the trousers to prevent the seams from coming apart. Levi Strauss owns the patent. He came up with it after seeing how quickly the jeans of miners wore out.

@Modyrts said, "This is a message from a conversation with a mod that never got back to me"
So what exactly is the complaint? I often talk to my mods and they have never got back to me. I can just imagine if they did. Clean me! Fill me! Recharge me! If you don't I'm going to toyi-toyi on the coffee table! Protest action is called for!

This is an often used expression that really bugs me :
The proof is in the pudding.
Don't people realise that this saying is meaningless? What possible proof could there be in a pudding?
The correct saying is :
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
To show my own ignorance here I always thought that the pudding referred to a dessert or maybe steak and kidney pudding.
The truth is that it refers to sausages made in the Middle Ages. Apparently, these often contained dodgy minced meat or blood. Eating it was a little risky hence the saying.

Did you know that these things have names?
The plastic or metallic coating at the end of shoelaces is called an aglet.
The rumbling of a stomach is called wamble.

Puns and One-liners
England doesn’t have a kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool.
I knew a mathematician who couldn’t afford lunch. He could binomial.
A Buddhist walks up to a hot dog stand and says “Make me one with everything.”

Not the best choice of metaphor, is it?

WHY:
How come there are extra holes on top of the regular eyelets on sneakers?
BECAUSE:
Apparently, they are meant to help people whose feet are too small for their shoes. They only need to make a loop to tighten the lock even further. This is a good idea since ill-fitting shoes often result in blisters.

"But, it seems crime may not have been to blame for the lost-and-found episode.
A few hours later, the "first iPad", as Ramaphosa's head of digital called it, was found and back in its owners hands, to his relief."
