Here's a serious one... On a 110 electric plug, sometimes, both prongs are the same size... other times one side is wider.
I understand polarity, but even on an appliance like a toaster, or a high resistance product, the plugs are sometimes the same...
Why?

That's not actually a "this or that" question, or even a question at all. The songwriter (Lamm?) was writing a song late at night and noticed the time was 25 or 26 to 4am, or 3:35 or 3:34am. 25 or 6 to 4 must've rolled out better than 25 or 26 to 4. I think I read that somewhere before but definitely heard it on the Chicago video documentary that was on CNN at the start of this year.25 or 6 to 4?
