you have to think of a really weird question.


you dont necessarily have to answer it. but the weirder the better.


first one

When you pick your nose, where do you put it?

Actually, I've got a weirder question: Why do you keep making up all of these threads?!

She is into clothing. always enjoys new threads.

Why do drive up automatic tellers have Braille keypads?

Most people are blinded by road rage.

Why do 24/7 stores have locks on their doors?

To go with the bagels in the stores.

Why did I get a ticket on the one way street? I was only going one way!

Why do kamikazee pilots wear helmets?

Why does a door with no outside handle have a sign inside, "Not an Exit"? Shouldn't that be a wall?

I supposed it could be a wall, but I egress... I'm fresh out of questions

Why is it a hymn, and not a her?

Because you're praising Him?

Why is it Caesar instead of Caesem?

Why do people in horror films always run upstairs?

Why does crap stink?

Because it's a climax, not a descendmax.

Why are there stop signs, but no go signs?

I never take my foot off that pedal.

Why Is Space Black?

Oh, are you saying space should be white? Chocolate Bear is displeased.

You've never heard of whitespace?

If the plural of mouse is mice, why isn't a street lined with hice?

Why is the Earth Round and Not Square?

That would just be a Bizzarro world.

Why isn't there a plural of nemesis?

Why is your face so ugly?

Ooh... BURN!

and isn't it Nemeses?

Why do we have four fingers and one thumb?

Why are zombies always so slow?

Speak for yourself! I have eight fingers and two thumbs!

Why do we call it throwing up, when we nearly always do it straight down?

Why do we say cold is cold and not hot and hot is hot and not cold. Who decided to name them that way around.

What is your favourite toe?

Ahhh, that's far too philosophical, my friend. The nature and origins of language is a whole other topic

We have a special name for the thumb, why don't we have one for the big toe?

Ahhh, that's far too philosophical, my friend. The nature and origins of language is a whole other topic

But it is a good question.

Indeed it is. I find it fascinating that different languages use more words to describe ideas that are more culturally significant, such as the many words in Eskimo language for "snow", or the fact that "hot" in English may mean "caliente" (thermally hot) or "picante" (spicy hot) in Spanish.

The shortest words tend to be among the most common concepts.

DUDE! I thought that same thing... but they say the Eskimo thing is somewhat myth -- we have a lot of word to describe frozen water too, if you think about it

hail, snow, ice, slush, frost, sleet

albeit.. they are kinda different

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_words_for_snow

And most of those words are best understood in areas where the climate throws every variation at you. Try using those words with a Floridian, for example.

I live in California. Fresno, California.

(shi. shi. shi. [the Japanese one.])

Have you ever lived in a colder climate?

How well do you understand the difference between sleet and freezing rain?

I can find definitions all day long... but no, I have never felt it or experienced either first-hand. However, I will be living in Chicago soon -- that has to count for something.

Someone from New England will know without looking it up that sleet is frozen ice pellets, falling with liquid rain, freezing rain is liquid rain that freezes as soon as it hits the fround or tree limbs or cars, and slush is a heavy wet sloppy snow.

Slush leaves messy puddles on the ground that hide potholes. Sleet leaves a gritty layer on the wet ground, but freezing rain leaves a slick icy surface that can be next to impossible to keep your footing on.

Yeah, yeah... all different, yet all describing frozen water -- that's what I'm saying. The Eskimos don't really have a lot of words describing snow, it's just there are different tribes/languages. Thusly, the statement is saying that there are many words describing snow from these people.

It's like saying there are many African words for lion...

Why do all our threads go off topic?
