it is possible, I force my eyes to stay slightly open (can't have it completely open, but enough to still see) when I sneeze while driving. Split second makes a difference you know. ;)

There is only one letter in the english alphabet that you can spell without using the letter. "W". Double U. The next in line would be "Y", but obviously "WHY" has a "Y" in it. I thought this up at work today. I was all by myslef and bored as hell. :-[

4,000 yeras a new animal hasn't been domesticated? Hrm... civilization has been around narrowly around that time... in which case, every domesticated animal was domesticated in that time.
