When you're at the south pole, whether you're digging or not, the only direction you can go where you stay on the Earth is North.

Neither i would think. Religious books have their own section to avoid p**sing people off.

Just because they're sleeping tablets doesn't mean they're being taken to help you sleep. Some prescriptions sleeping tablets in low doses are used to lower blood pressure or something so unless you'd been told they're sleeping pills a warning is necessary.

Legally gay marriage still doesn't exist so nothing.

Behavioural therapy based around operant conditioning.

Ach, no, we won't know unless you write a letter to them asking.
And they'd probabley have a Gay King assassinated, anyway.

North isn't exactly up, its a direction. If people did maps the other way we'd call South up, or West up.

And because of gravity, down is down, no matter where you're digging.

North

sadly the royal family don't realy call each other by names like son in law ect coz they are too posh. What the questions is really is you cant call them king because there is already one and queen is for a female.

North isn't up or down. People say you are digging down but since North is up, you'd say im digging up which is impossable.

A novel is a story, a book can be anything.

No.

Non-fiction of course.

Because they have to put it down for legal reasons or something.

King.

No, thats dumb.

Because thats not the point of the question.

I don't know, I ain't no Kawada.

> If you dig a hole in the south pole are you digging up or down?
Down.

> Why is Joey short for Joe, when Joey has more letters?
Because its easier to say "Joey".

Probably go by wins in the division and then if still tied, Points for or Points against, if still the same then a bare knuckle brawl between the two coaches

> What's the difference between a novel and a book?

A book is a physical item consisting of several paper pages, a spine and a cover.

A novel is a story, contained in the book.

> the center of the earth?


I don't know, but I think if they did, it'd get thinner and thinner near the centre of the Earth.

> non-fiction section?


I would assume non-fiction, seeing as it would cause religious unrest in people who believe that the Bible is true.

> Why do sleeping pills have warning labels that state :'Caution:
> May Cause Drowsiness?


Because they legally have to state the effectsand risks involved in consuming the products. Similarly, a bag of nuts must have the label "Warning: Contains nuts" due to alergy sufferers.

> If a king is gay and marries another guy what is that guy to the
> royal family?


In relation to which relative? To his partner's parents, I guess he'd be son-in-law.

I don't think I understand this one...

> Why when people ask you "what three things would you bring
> with you on a desert island?" no one ever replies, "A
> BOAT"


Because they assume that there would be things there ready for them. They probably never say a boat because they are likely to already have one. Otherwise, how woul they get there?

> What happens if every team in the NFL goes 8-8?

I don't understand...

> If you dig a hole in the south pole are you digging up or down?

You are digging down, because the ground will still be below you. Also, you'll be digging North.

> Why is Joey short for Joe, when Joey has more letters?

It isn't short for Joe. It's a nickname.
