Guest Matt Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 these are some neat things i found, feel free to answer the questions: 1. 1/7 of your life is spent on Tuesday. 2. Never trust a thin cook. 3. Why do sheep shrink when it rains? 4. Save the Whales; collect the whole set. 5. Why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways? 6. If quitters never win and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while your ahead"! 7. If a man is standing in the middle of nowhere speaking and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong? 8. If FED EX and UPS were to merge, would they call it FED UP? if u got other ones like these, post em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I build it, will they come? Why did the chicken cross the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan L Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 NYAH HA HA! I just about saved this thread from oblivion on the second page... here we go.... and for all who ask, yes, this is a cut 'n' paste job :D [i]If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen? If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? You know how most packages say "Open here". What happens if you open it somewhere else? Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM? Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards? Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo? You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance? Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio? If you have your finger touching the rearview mirror that says -- "objects in mirror are closer than they appear", how can that be possible? Why is it so hard to remember how to spell MNEMONIC? If someone invented instant water, what would they mix it with? Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one? Why does your nose run and your feet smell? Why does an alarm clock "go off" when it begins ringing? If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress? Why does "cleave" mean both split apart and stick together? Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same? Why is it called a "building" when it is already built? Why do they call them "apartments" when they are all stuck together? Why is there an expiration date on SOUR cream? If you keep trying to prove Murphy's Law, will something keep going wrong? Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? How can someone "draw a blank"? Shouldn't there be a shorter word for "monosyllabic"? Why is the word "abbreviate" so long? Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes? Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there? Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots? Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings? If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors? If a cow laughed real hard, would milk come out her nose? If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan? Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets? What is another word for "thesaurus"? When they ship styrofoam, what do they pack it in? If 75% of all accidents happen within 5 miles of home, why not move 10 miles away? Why doesn't "onomatopoeia" sound like what it is? Why do 'tug' boats push their barges? Why do we sing 'Take me out to the ball game', when we are already there? Why are they called 'stands' when they're made for sitting? Why is there only ONE Monopolies Commission? Does a fish get cramps after eating? Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing? Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a "near miss"? Shouldn't it be called a "near hit"? What does Geronimo say when he jumps out of a plane? How can there be "self help GROUPS"? Why are we afraid of falling? Shouldn't we be afraid of the sudden stop?[/i] I will take the time to acknowledge the original site for this little cut n paste job.... [url]www.boredatuni.co.uk[/url] err... if that last bit is considered spam (it wasn't meant as an advert but it turned into a link) then delete it if you want (to mod/god/whoever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
