...having just said that, today a girl told me that she thinks I'm 
"really cool".

I mean, sure, she's married and much older than me and Chinese. But 
still, somebody somewhere actually thinks I'm cool...

Didn't you have a GF for a while?  That would seem to indicate that you 
don't need to be so glum about it.

I did. But I've been single again for ages now. :-(

There's a girl called Helen in my dance class. She's devastatingly 
beautiful, and I desperately want to go out with her. But, as far as I 
can tell, she's not the slightest bit interested. (I think she might 
even be avoiding me...) But the advice I got from this lady today was 
that Helen totally wants me to ask her out. Because THAT makes logical 
sense... (??)

Damn, girls are confusing!

Yes.

IMDB lists it.

On the other hand, if you're cool, you can't be hot. It's physically 
impossible to be both at the same time.

Ask. That will solve the question.

Indeed. They are more mysterious than electrics of a French car. And 
they are already unsolvable.

True story: My dad drives a French car. One day, he drove it to work, 
parked it, and turned the engine off. When he turned the engine off, the 
driver's side window opened. So he turned the engine back on, closed the 
window, turned the engine off... and the window opened again.

In the end, the only solution was to turn the engine on, OPEN THE DOOR, 
and then turn the engine off. Then the window stayed shut.

It has never ever done that again since. GO FIGURE.

There was a question about something similar to this on a radio programme 
here in the US called "Car Talk" a few weeks ago.

Some cars have a feature to do this when you press the remote.  IIRC, it 
could also have been some sort of electrical spike to the motor that 
controls the window.

Have a look at cartalk.com and see if you can find a relevant 
discussion. :)

That's still better than having a car that, standing around parked, 
would under certain more-or-less mystical circumstances /spontaneously/ 
open the driver's window.

And yes, there have been cars that had such a bug built-in, due to some 
bug in the onboard electronics.


Speaking of the mysteries of french cars, a while ago my brother had a 
car where the button to activate the hazard warning lights had an 
inbuilt indicator lamp; now under poorly understood circumstances (which 
had something to do with whether the headlights were on or not), this 
indicator lamp would also flash whenever he signalled a left turn.

What, "adorable"?  Or "virginal"?  ;-)
