I don't know if there is a board on this or not.
It is called:
Do you ever wonder why?

every two hours?

are flat?

is not enough?

but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

a revolver at him?

Special Olympics?

cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

If it's true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing
here?

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem
longer?

Do you cry under water?

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


Did you ever stop and wonder......


Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze

these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"


Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna
eat
the next thing that comes outta it's bum."


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


Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?


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

undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

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

Do you ever wonder why , during the battle of Yavin, Grand Moff Tarkin DIDNT order out the squardrons of TIE fighters aboard the Death Star? Had Govenor Tarkin don so the Rebels would have been swiftly and brutaly finished. Tarkins flaw was overconfidence in the superweapon. Because of that mistake the downfall of the Empire begain and so did the odyssey of Luke Skywalker.


The original draft of The Lord of the Rings featured Chuck Norris instead of Frodo Baggins. It was only 5 pages long, as Chuck roundhouse-kicked Sauron's ass halfway through the first chapter.

Why did Palpatine never contact Grand Admiral Thrawn? If Palpatine had allied with Thrawn Operation: Shadow Hand would have swiftly crushed the New Republic. In fact Thrawn would have defeated the Republic is had hadnt been betrayed.

Hehe...I love these things Smile

Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

Why do they call them "apartments" when they are all stuck together?

How can someone "draw a blank?"

Why do light switches say on/off? When it's on you can see it's on, when it's off you can't see to read.

If "con" is the opposite of "pro," is Congress the opposite of progress?

Isn't it a bit unraveling that what doctors and lawyers call what they do "practice?"

When my brother and I were little we would ALWAYS try and sing the Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at the same time. Road trips must have been painful for my parents. I enjoyed the questions. Some of them are pretty silly.
