John, I have a couple of questions...
Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?
If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights?
Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called a cargo?
Thanks.

To allow Hawaii to qualify for Federal Highway Funds, Congress changed the definition of Interstate as to allow Federal highway construction of roads that didn't, in fact, go between two states.Originally posted by Spec

To you, it's as you turned on the headlights (that is, assuming that you magically haven't been turned into energy by this time). To a person viewing you from outside, it's as if nothing happens.
Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
To irritate the French when bad English infiltrates their language.
Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called a cargo?
Because.
