>Why do zippers zip up and down, not sideways?
D'you know, I have a flying suit with several sideways zippers. Apparently, only those who have been through rigorous aerial training are qualified to operate sideways zippers (don't try it at home).
>Where does "here" end and "there" begin?
Here ends right here. There begins over there.
>How distant is the past?
Depends how old you are. I'm getting older, and the past keeps getting farther away. When i was younger, it seemed closer.
>How near is the future?
Pretty close--it's right around the corner.
>How long does the present last?
Based on my experience with two-year-olds, about three minutes before it's broken.
