here's a few questions I've pondered..

why did the chicken cross the road?

why is the sky blue?

which came first, the egg or the chicken?

The chicken crossed the road to get to the other side

The sky is blue as that is the frequency at which the suns rays are reflected at in the atmosphere

And the chicken came first, it was created (**no flames please**)

And the chicken came first, it was created

By evolution over millions of years.

I've always wondered why are there interstates in Hawaii?

If it only takes one dollar a day to feed a child in Africa, why does it take two dollars a day to lose weight with Jenny Craig?

And is there another word for "synonym"?

Hehehe good ones. Any others. I love these questions. Oh and btw. I got a book named "101 thing you will never use." That sky one was in there. I gave hte scentific reasoning and proof.

Another was "Is betty crocker a real woman at some point in time?" TOns of stuff like that. I can post some interesting ones if any one wants me to. most of them you proly know tho.

Why is it that you chop down a tree, then you chop it up?

the point is to render the tree more easily reached in its entirety; causing it to fall onto the ground and allowing subsequently more efficient processes to convert it to your needs reaches that goal. chopping actions bring it down.

doing something to make something change can be labeled as changing them ?up,? for you blow a balloon ?up,? and you chop a tree ?up,? and you fix the sink ?right up,? it seems that ?up? is part of the colloquial phrase, with loose literal meaning at best.

or ;)mething like that ;)

the whole money doesn't grow on trees thing...isn't most money made out of paper which obviously comes from trees so um...yeah.

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.
