Threads that are certain to recur.

Let’s face it. Anyone who has been a Doper, even for a few months will notice that certain topics keep coming up:

[li]A friend told me there are 3 words ending in ‘gry’ - I know 2 are ‘angry’ and ‘hungry’ but what’s the third?[/li][li]This August, Mars is going to be as big as the Full Moon. What is the exact date for this and how often does this happen?[/li][li]A friend told me this puzzle about 3 people who go to a hotel and each is charged $10. They are overcharged and the bellboy has to bring the 3 people the difference … etc, etc, etc … so where’s the missing dollar?[/li][li]I want to start my own country. What is preventing me from getting a ship and keeping it away from the 3 mile limit of any country? Couldn’t I make my own laws and do anything I want to do because it is my own country?[/li][/ul]
