Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Why is it a "building" after it's done? Shouldn't it be a "built"?

---

Why do we leave bank vaults open and chain ink pens to the counters?

---

Bank vaults are rarely left open unless there are empty. Ink pens are chained to the counters so that individuals who do not have one when the need comes may use the "chained" pen, thus being assured that it will not get lost and/or stolen accidentally by the individual who last used the pen.

Hey its better than most threads on here.
