Okay sci-village, one more riddle...

What spends all of its time on the floor, but never gets dirty?

I don't know, broom, shadow, etc. I could argue that a broom does get dirty or that a shadow doesn't spend all of it's time on the floor, etc.
Fun fact:

"Generally, human stomachs have a volume of about one liter, which is a little more than one quart. Since the stomach has the ability to expand, it can hold much more food. The human stomach can be distended up to four liters, which is more than one gallon. Imagine your stomach to be an empty one-gallon milk carton."

lol I didn't think about that...a shadow isn't ''always'' on the floor.  Blush

Big Grin  Ouch!
Thunderstorms rolling on through here again...every day, same time. When will this rainy season end? Rain is nice and all, but it's getting to be a bit much. Rainbows are sweet, though. I saw one in my backyard the other day, right in front of me, like ''splashed'' across the trees, not  showing in the sky. Or was it just an illusion, bouncing off of the lake?  Dodgy

Buying a ring on ebay?
I'da thought jewelry was the kind of thing you had to see and touch and fall in love with before even wanting it, let alone buying it. Just call me old-fashioned and put me on your ignore list. I must admit I have seen mail order brides work out very well. I have noted that the older and richer the male the younger and prettier the female bride tends to be. But if it works who am I (old fashioned) .. well who I am is nobody and nothing and (from what I see) it increases the sum of human happiness.

Despite my old-fashionedness I'm finding hard not to share this delight. Maybe that is why mail order brides work - there is simply delight. Even in text the delight travels.

What do mail order brides have to do with me buying jewelry online? lol

'Mail order' is what fossils like me call selecting a thing from a catalogue and asking for it to be delivered (for a price).
