>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.
