Widdowmaker Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Questions that have me pondering!! If you say something is indescribable, isn't that describing it? If you shine a light into a mirror, do you get twice as much light? How come it was called the Cosby Show when Billy Cosby's character was named Heathcliff Huxtible? If a Truck is loaded with Helium, would it weigh less than when it was empty? Wouldn't it get better fuel mileage? Why is it when we talk to God we are praying, but when God talks to us we are put into the loony bin? How come toy hippos are always blue, or purple, when real hippos are brown? If a singer sings their own song during a karaoke party, is it considered karaoke? Why do they say "an alarm going off," if it is really going on? Why do you go ?back and forth? to town if you really must go forth before you go back? Why can't you get a tan on your palms? Why do dogs sniff other dog?s bottoms to say hello, why don?t they just bark in their face or something? Why do you get in trouble for blocking an exit when you're standing in the doorway? In case of an emergency, wouldn't you run out, too, therefore NOT blocking the exit? Which way does a compass point in space? Why do all superheroes wear spandex? Is Jerry Garcia grateful to be dead? Did Noah have woodpeckers on the ark? If he did, where did he keep them? Why is "number" abbreviated as "no"? When there is no "o" in number? If you went back in time and killed your mother would you disappear the moment you killed her? If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? Can you cry under water? 364 days of the year, parents tell their kids not to take candy from strangers, yet on Halloween, its encouraged! Why is that ? Since there is a rule that states "i" before "e" except after "c", wouldn't "science" be spelled wrong? Can you blow a balloon up under water? :Dbr />:D ::woot:D :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/76942-have-you-ever-wondered-why/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

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**) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/76942-have-you-ever-wondered-why/#findComment-830786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

excessdl Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg is frowning and looking very frustrated. The egg mutters, to no one in particular, "Well, I guess we answered THAT question!"

CtotheJ Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 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"?

sukamusiru Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 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 ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/76942-have-you-ever-wondered-why/#findComment-830922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
