Question 1:
Why is a park called a park when you can't park there?
Answer:
Because the term park as in "park a car" is not the root meaning of the word -- it is a special narrow meaning. The term park means an enclosure, an enclosed place. So the base meaning is a place that is closed off for some special purpose, like an animal game park or a park for people to walk, play or exercise.
This was applied to a vehicle when they were developed in the idea of putting a car in its place, its enclosure, like the car port or garage. Thus parks in general are not places to put cars, they are places to enclose for a particular use. Buts car parks definitely are places for putting cars, because they are marked off and enclosed for that limited purpose, as any park is designated for its particular purpose.
Question 2:
Why do you park on a driveway, and drive on a parkway?
Answer:
The usages are extended from the base meanings of the words, and are consistent with these meanings.
A "park" is a place set aside for a specific purpose.
The English word way is the equivalent of the Latin word via, meaning "road" or "path." Thus a "parkway" is a road (way) through a park. The road is used by cars, thus you can drive on a parkway, that is you can drive on the road (way) through the park.
The term driveway originated as the designation for the place you drive you car into at the house, like from the gate of the farm, or estate, to the house. When you got to the end of the driveway, you would park the car. ("Park," as in the meaning described above, because you are putting the car in the place designated for the car, that is the car park.)
The term driveway was thus established and continued to be used, even when people with tract houses had only a short "way" to drive to the house, so the place where you drive the car into by any house is called a driveway.
It is still consistent with the base meaning and broader usage of the term in that you "drive" into and onto the "way" designated for the car for that dwelling.

Justin, that kinda' stuff is way too cerebral for us to deal with. :innocent:
There's an easier explanation:
A driveway is where you start when you wanna' drive away.
A Parkway is the way you get to a parking lot.
Problem solved. :innocent:

Einstein's Riddle
The story behind Einstein's riddle is that Albert Einstein created it in the late 1800s, and claimed that 98% of the world population couldn't solve it. I am not sure of the true origin, but I have seen this one floating around the internet, and it is a good brain exercise. Here it is:
- In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.
- In each house lives a person of different nationality.
- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
Einstein's riddle is Who owns the fish?
Necessary clues:
1. The British man lives in a red house.
2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The Blends smoker lives next to the one who drinks water.
Good Luck and no cheating with a search engine.
The coffee drinking, German that smokes Prince cigars and lives in a green house.

RIDDLE ME THIS:
Polly Perkins was after a talking parrot, so she went to the local pet shop in the hope of securing such a find. She was in luck. The shop assistant assured her that the parrot would learn and repeat any word or phrase it heard. Polly was delighted. However, a week later, the parrot still hadn't spoken a word. Polly returned to the shop to complain, however, it appeared that the assistant was accurate in what he had said, and refused a refund. Why didn't the parrot talk?
Polly was mute or deaf.

So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the missing $1?
answer at bottom
ANSWER:
We have to be careful what we are adding together. Originally, they paid $30, they each received back $1, thus they now have only paid $27. Of this $27, $25 went to the manager for the room and $2 went to the bellboy.
