Things That Make You Go HMMMM?

[Dragonflytears]

This is a place the share comments about things that make you wonder?

Such as:

Why is a boxing ring square?
Why do you park in driveways and drive on parkways?
Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?

Why is a boxing ring square?
Squares are easier to construct.

Why do you park in driveways and drive on parkways?
what I understand, 'way' means 'road'. So a driveway is a road that you drive on, typically either to the street or your garage. A parkway is a road through or to a park. Usually parkways are landscaped, or beautified, with medians or trees along the edges.

Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?
