Why when you are all in on Pokerstars does it sometimes turn the cards face up immediately but sometimes waits until after the river to reveal all?

Wow. Been playing all these years and didn't know that option was there.

How about in tournaments.. you forget to click sit out if yo have to leave for a few seconds.. sometimes it just folds your hand and sits you out auto and sometimes it time banks you.

Why?

Pokerstars settings? Is that all you have left to capture your interest?

Don't want to know why biscuits are called biscuits? What the difference between an Elk and a Gnu is? How there can be different degrees of infinity?

Thanks to this thread my hunger for knowledge is nearly sated.

Still haven't heard a proper reason why Arsenal are called "The" Arsenal though.

Going to throw open to the Twitter throng.

Why do Arsenal fans refer to their team as "the Arsenal"?

They are the only set of supporters who do this I think.

Woolwich Arsenal become known as The Arsenal (although its official name was 'Arsenal') and Norris set about ploughing money into the Club's new home.

From the official Arsenal website not much help!

Doesn't this go back to USSR times, when Ukraine wasn't its own country and the region as a subset of Soviet Union was known as "The Ukraine".

Ooh, I dunno really. That's just how I remembered them.

I'm happy to stand corrected.

Pink Floyd were originally The Pink Floyd, whereas The Verve went the other way, starting life as Verve.

I suggest renaming thread to 'The things I wish I knew'

I used to love The The, but never thought they were punk, wikipedia has them as post punk, whatever that may be.
