Things that make you go...hmmm?
These are things I wonder but have never gotten the answer to.Does anyone know why "semi trucks" are called "semi"? The synonyms are; half, partially, and partly. Maybe someone can give me a history lesson here.

Why is there Braille on the keypad of a drive-up ATM? 
... on a related note, have you ever wanted to lock a humidifier and a dehumidifier in a room and let them fight it out?

A full trailer has it's own set of wheels under the front of the trailer - a semi-trailer sits on the truck and doesn't have it's own front wheels. The semi truck actually gets it's name from the semi-trailer!

Why is detroit call the MOTOR CITY when they build engines.
Why is it called a MOTOR BOAT and not an engine boat.
I have always called it a MOTOR if it is powered electrically and an ENGINE if it is powered by fuel.
