Someone emailed me these questions....It makes you think

Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What disease did cured ham actually have?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME stuff, why didn't he just buy dinner?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window?

Hahaha. Weird questions. They really makes you ponder... I bet it would be painful to cry underwater though... like, you're omitting water out of your eyes and water is (possibly) entering your eyes. It seems painful to me! 3.gif

One sentance...

Ignorance is bliss.

It's best to not know what the hell those answers are in the first place than rot your brain about them, they'll either be stupidly complex answers or simple ones that make you kick yourself so much you'll be purple.

Unless they are help to you... Don't worry about them lol.

Can you cry under water? quote>

No.

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?quote>

It's not at all about importance. By definition, an assassination is a murder committed for political reasons.

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?quote>

Figures of speech!

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? quote>

That's entirely up to you and what you believe in.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box? quote>

Square boxes are a lot easier to make and are easier to carry than round ones.

What disease did cured ham actually have? quote>

What disease did cured concrete actually have? None. Wrong definition of the word.

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?quote>

Because putting wheels on luggage wasn't exactly sticking it to the soviets.2.gif

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? quote>

Because babies sleep a lot, albeit sporadically.

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?quote>

Yes.

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?quote>

Becuase "on a movie" and "in TV" don't sound as good.

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?quote>

Unique perspective.

Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.quote>

Not necessarily... actually, in my experience, the nurse leaves the room and you change while you're waiting for the doctor.

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?quote>

Because English is a screwy language.

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?quote>

Just to make sure no one ever can't make something as dark as they want, I guess....21.gif

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?quote>

Actually, the singer doesn't care. It was never said that no one cares.

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?quote>

Now that would make an interesting court case...18.gif

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?quote>

Because then there's be no more episodes of the show to make.

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?quote>

Because there are other more perverted intereperitations of someone doing that.18.gif Besides, what if you had to take a dump? Would you point at your ***?34.gif

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!quote>

Goofy talks and is a lot more personified. And it's Disney. Their target audience would never notice these things.

If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME stuff, why didn't he just buy dinner?quote>

Because then we'd have no more roadrunner cartoons! Also, I don't think many restaurants would serve a coyote....

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?quote>

Petroleum. It's for babies, not made from them.21.gif

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?quote>

Unfortunately, it often does....20.gif

Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?quote>

Yes. The first is just the alphabet with a little extra. The second was originally a poem called "The Star". Both were later put to music, and just hapenned to be put to the same music.

Why did you just try singing the two songs above?quote>

I didn't.

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?quote>

47.gifOkay, I don't get that one. Asteroids have nothing to do with hemorrhoids besides sounding sorta similar.

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window?quote>

A sudden blast of air from a person exhaling is a lot different than air steadily flying by on a street. Especially to a dog, since dogs have one of the keenest senses of smell of any animal.

Hope I helped answer your questions!9.gif

    A classic one I've seen in lots of places but most recently from the great Oakenshield (wherever he's at), "Why do people drive in parkways and park in driveways?" Gotta love it!

    Lol. Good questions. I've got two more:

    If you took a compass into space what way would it point?

    If a quiz is quizical whats a... no I can't. Well actually it's only one!

    Also as for the movie and TV one. I believe in the German language they say "ich sehe die Nachrichten im Fernsehe" translating literally as "I watch the news in the TV".

    Man, I laughed at some of those questions up there. And Duke87, as said before they aren't questions to answer because they're just for laughs; you don't have to put an answer to everything. Anyway, some of them were pretty funny.
