Mysterious
Tee hee I'm going to take a stab at blondie's
1 Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?It has to do with frustration yielding aggression. It doesn't work so you take your aggression out on the remote by pushing it even harder.
2 Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?Because they know likely you will have more money in it eventually and they can then gouge you for it.
3 Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?They take your word for it because it would be hard to verfiy 4 billion stars but if the wall is right in front of them there is no such inhibition.
4 Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?Actually the outer layer does since no bottle of glue comes completely clean when it's out.
5 Why do they use sterilised needles for death by lethal injection?
Since needles typically are made sterilized it's cheaper than if they specifically manufactured needles just for lethal injections and forwent the seterilization.
6 Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?Because facial hair is gross and whoever created the character agrees with me.
7 Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a gun at him?
Stopping bullets is impressive, stopping a gun is not. I imagine it still smarts so why bother when no one is impressed.
8 Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?Standard issue uniform why change it.
9 Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
I don't know it seems descriptive of the problem doesn't it?
10 What is the speed of darkness?Darkness is the absence of light rays and doesn't itself have moving parts.
11 Are there specially reserved parking spaces for non-disabled people at The Special Olympics?No because it isn't a matter of minority rights but how hard it is to haul your ass from place to place. Park in the back, don't be a dick.
12 If you send someone 'Styrofoam', how do you pack it?In a box. =P
13 If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?Faulty reasoning. Temperature is an interval scale of measure and you can only make judgements such as twice as cold with ratio scales. It's a colloquial question only.
14 If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?They didn't, this is an oversimplification of evolutionary theory. Furthermore there are things such as parallel evolution in separate populations since there is no one correct end product. 15 If it's true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing here?It's like a circle A helps B, B helps C, C helps A 16 Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?Yes they do stats prove it. Subjective experience has nothing to do with actual measured lifespans.
17 If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?No the personality is several alter states of the same person that have not been resolved not two separate people. A person cannot hold themselves hostage.
18 Can you cry under water?Yes but I hope you have gills or you might drown.
19 What level of importance must a person have, before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?It's not the importance but the reason for killing. If the president's wife offs him it's murder. If a foreign leader orders it to further his own gains it's assassination.
20 If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?Anything that stems from one source is a branch.
21 Why does a round pizza come in a square box?Because it's harder to make round boxes.
22 How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on bigger suitcases?
Thinking ahead for long vacations to the moon and even bigger suitcases.
23 Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up, like, every two hours?They sleep innocently and without care while they are asleep even if not particularly long.
24 If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?Everyone else can still hear it.25 Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?Because it's a different perspective.
26 Why do doctors, when they ask you to strip, leave the room or close the cubicle curtain while you change? ............ they're still going to see you naked anyway.
They have more important things to do in the meantime and not everyone who works in the office will see you naked anyway. -
