1. English is NOT a logical language nor does it often follow rules or make sense: pnemonia, knife, cow bow sow low...
2. Icy greenland and green Iceland to diguise the true nature of the land to other but unfriendly Norse (Vikings). Also evidence that climate was different at time Norse named these places.
3. Glue does stick to the bottle, but not itself. (Ever try to wash an "empty" bottle of glue, it sticks VERY well.
4. It is only hard if your motor skills are below normal or you make the switch to fast, your brain signals have not caught up.
