Dan_Shues 02-26-2005, 05:45 PM Why do we press harder on a remote control when we already know the batteries are dead?
Why do banks charge a fee for insufficient funds when they know there is not enough to pay for it?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
What is the speed of darkness?
If someone sends you Styrofoam, how do they pack it?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?
If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
How is it that we put a man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on bigger suitcases?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Because we keep forgetting to buy them when we are in the supermarket
Why do banks charge a fee for insufficient funds when they know there is not enough to pay for it?
Because they know they are going to get it
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Because there is so much of it and glue has to have a thin layer to stick
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Because it sets a good example to everyone else?
What is the speed of darkness?
I think because darkness has a different make-up to light so you cant measure it in a speed thing
If someone sends you Styrofoam, how do they pack it?
They could put it in a box
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
I think that apes thing has now been disproved....Well, I read that somewhere....
If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?
Thats funny:)
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Perhaps in some countries they do, and it would look good, but I think one manufacturing company makes the boxes and it is cheaper to buy them that way....
I just wanted to answer some of them....
CabinFever 02-26-2005, 11:36 PM Yay - tinks - you've got the answers to life's questions! :)
Ok...I've got a few:
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
-because contamination could affect the components of the injection
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
-I'm thinkin that some people from other areas do actually have very little facial hair (ie Asians?) - could be wrong here though...just guessing
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
-so that they stay safe until they actually complete their suicide mission
What is the speed of darkness?
-light is a form of energy - darkness is the lack of that energy therefore "it" is nothing, therefore doesn't travel
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
-through process of speciation
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
-ummmm....cause we, as humans, like to make life more complicated than it is??
Tinkabell 02-27-2005, 12:05 AM LoL.......
Cabs is that YOU sitting on the rock?
Yavor 02-27-2005, 05:09 AM > Why do we press harder on a remote control
> when we already know the batteries are dead?
To sqeeze the last bits of juice out of the battery.
> Why do banks charge a fee for insufficient funds
> when they know there is not enough to pay for it?
To squeeze the last bits of money out of your pocket.
> Why does someone believe you when you say there
> are four billion stars, but check when you say
> the paint is wet?
Wet paint misleadingly looks like dry paint.
> Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
By design.
> Why do they use sterilized needles for death
> by lethal injection?
It makes the killing apear clean.
> Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Tarzan's bare jaw has greater appeal to the audience.
> Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest,
> but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
His shield has the frequency response of a low-pass filter.
> Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Dignity. The same reason people are buried with their clothes on.
> What is the speed of darkness?
-c
> If someone sends you Styrofoam, how do they pack it?
They simply put it in a plastic bag.
> If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
So people can put avatars that resemble apes.
> If someone with a split personality threatens to
> commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?
No, at least not legally.
> If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches?
Bank branches are sticky, they don't grow but attract money.
> Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Round boxes save nothing, paper will be wasted either way.
> How is it that we put a man on the moon before we
> figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels
> on bigger suitcases?
It was a matter of national priority.
> Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then
> put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Many things look sexier from a distance.
suicideblonde 02-27-2005, 07:20 AM I am just along here for the ride as I will let my compatriots figure all of this out for me! Funny stuff, esp the banks and binoculars, Vlad, as I think they may be truer that we realize!
CabinFever 02-27-2005, 01:50 PM Tinks - yep, that is moi. And it's not a ROCK, thank you very much, but a mountaintop! It took a lot of effort to get up there! :D
Chatterbox 02-27-2005, 02:35 PM - Why do we repeatedly press on the elevator "call" button after it is lit?
- Why do we click the light switch on and off, on and off, on and off, when the lights are out?
- When phones were first installed, clicking the phone would bring an operator on the line, but after that was changed, why did people continue to do it whenever they were disconnected? And why did we do it two generations later, when NONE of us had ever experienced getting the operator that way?
- Why do we bang things when the batteries have died?
- Why do we repeatedly try to start the car when we know we ran out of gas?
I am picturing myself (and others) doing these things and I'm laughing out loud! We look SO befuddled!!!
Chatterbox 02-27-2005, 02:38 PM "Many things look sexier from a distance." Lord knows I do!!! LOL
(With apologies to myself and others who are trying to remember how beautiful and sexy we are!)
Chatterbox 02-27-2005, 02:41 PM And, if we aren't evolved from apes, why do we look exactly like an ape when we are confused by some gadget?
Chatterbox 02-27-2005, 02:42 PM Which reminds me of another one,
- Why do we scratch our heads when we're confused?

Scratching your head is like giving a small tip to your brain. When you scratch your head you produce static electricity which offsets the entropy in the brain, possibly leading you to a solution.
