Does anyone else wonder why they actually click up to strike/out 3 and ball 4?

Not all do, but I'm sure at the time when introduced it seemed logical to include all numbers involved in a count and those are. Of course, back then there wasn't such an economical move to minimize everything.

anybody ever wonder why car speedometers go to 100 or 120 mph... but the highest posted limit is 70mph (around here anyways)

I will answer my own question... NO.

Anybody ever wonder why most bathroom scales end at 400 pounds, and most doctors scales go to 500? And how do you find out if you weigh 560?

Quite simple realy. Fill a very large container with distilled water (you can not use salt water or beer as substitutes). Put in a small boat capable of supporting your weight. Mark the water level before you enter the boat. Enter the boat and mark the water level again. Calculate the volume of water displaced by you in the boat. If the container is rectangular multiply the width by length by height difference of before and after you enter the boat. If the container is round like a very large beaker then it is height difference times ¼ times pi times diameter². If you measured in feet then multiply the results by 62.42796 and that will give you how many pounds that you weigh. If you measured in inches then you should use 0.036127 as the multiplier to get pounds. Formetric and odd shaped containers PM me.

The other option that comes to mind is to go to the circus and ask the amazing Randy to tell you your weight.

Try: "driving in Germany" !!!
There's no speed limit on the highway. Only a recommended speedlimit (at 140km/h).

But...
don't get involved in an accident. If you coused the incident with a higher speed than 140km/h, you will be fined aswell for speeding AND for in-dangering other trafic... ... ...

Well, I've notched mine and I dont actually look at those numbers - I click past them to the start point. I'm used to my 4 wheel clicker that has 4-3-3-9 and so I stick with it. I'm a creature of habit.

It's because in our weekly pickup game we call 5 balls.

I'm sure somewhere they call 4 strikes.
