Why are a flock of crows called a murder of crows? Join or Log In to answer.

This is based on the (fallacious) folk tale that crows form tribunals to judge and punish the bad behavior of a member of the flock. If the verdict goes against the defendant, that bird is killed (murdered) by the flock.

Maybe it's called a murder because people in the dark ages were put in "crow cages" to be pecked to death by them as a form of execution. unkindness of ravens. crows and ravens used to represent an essence of death and or witchcraft

Why do immigrants come to our country and expect us to understand their language and not learn ours? Join or Log In to answer.

Kind of an over simplified perspective on a complex issue. I dont think immigrants "come into our country and expect us to understand their language and not learn ours"

I think that your answer was somewhat bigoted. When a american citizen speaks to someone- We expect to be answered in english- seeing as how that is the language spoken here. However- the moment we ask someone to speak in english- we are bigoted racists.

I think your's is an ignorant comment to an over simplified perspective on a complex issue. Which is worst... I don't know.

Sorry- I really didnt mean that to come across like it did. Soooo... Im going to be quiet and sit in my corner now.

-Gillis57 (16Q / 30A) Sat Mar 22, 2008 5:49pm

I'm sure people in Europe ask this very same question about American tourists all the time.

as far as i know, they only may you appear smaller. but if your wearing one and your unable to eat, that may cause weight loss. sorry i don't have a definate answer for you.

-epia (19Q / 1A) Sat Mar 22, 2008 1:27pm

the corset only compresses your stomach but it will return to its natural size once the corset is removed
