Probably because 30 and 50 don't equal 40.
(OK. Serious answer: No one is positive, but it probably is taken from the days of the jukebox, which in the '50s generally held about 40 records and the owners of said boxes would fill them with the most popular records in the area. Top 40 radio slots originally meant a broadcast of the records released that week, but eventually adopted a popularity format, which has itself changed over time.)

You say "duties", I say "labors that should grant me time off in Purgatory".
Do "McCafe" coffees[sic] and similar abominations finally disprove, once and for all, the existence of God?
No.
Three of the four original Ramones are dead. All of the Jimi Hendrix Experience are gone. Half of the Beatles. Miles. Coltrane. Monk. Sandy Denny. Nick Drake. All gone.

Does Mary bake blueberry pies AND coconut cream pies, or is she a loose cannon who bakes her blueberry pies WITH coconut cream!?

She's probably a communist. I bet she uses Splenda instead of proper American sugar too.
That said, if it's an auction, the auctioneer will probably tell you if the pie is plain blueberry like God intended or some weird miscegenation of blueberry/coconut.

OM, I think there should be a Project Superpowers / Black Terror thread in Dr. Gym'lls, but there are already too many threads started by me. Don't you think you should start this thread so LW lurkers can get a thrill reading an Outdoor Miner-created thread?
