1.When you snap your fingers, does the sound occur when your middle finger releases from your thumb, or when your middle finger hits the palm of your hand?
2.If our planet is inhabited with creatures made by God...is it possible that there's another planet inhabited with creatures made by the Devil?
3.How come stealing from one book is plagiarism, but stealing from many is research?
4.If two identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, would there kids be identical?
5.Is it possible to scream at the bottom of your lungs?
6.If you can test drive cars at the dealer's, why not test-drive lawnmowers
around at a hardware store?

ok this much for today... i'll post more later..
till then think about it..

1.When you snap your fingers, does the sound occur when your middle finger releases from your thumb, or when your middle finger hits the palm of your hand?

when your middle finger slaps your palm because i throw punches with my open hand and close as the punch ends and it always makes the finger snap

2.If our planet is inhabited with creatures made by God...is it possible that there's another planet inhabited with creatures made by the Devil?

The devil and god is in all of us so yes

3.How come stealing from one book is plagiarism, but stealing from many is research?

stealing from books is plagiarism period you have to site your sources and give them credit

4.If two identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, would there kids be identical?

not if one has a boy and one has a girl

5.Is it possible to scream at the bottom of your lungs?

figuratively we can do whatever we wan't, literally it probably wouldn't be very loud

6.If you can test drive cars at the dealer's, why not test-drive lawnmowers
around at a hardware store?

in a warehouse like hardware store the people would most likely die from the exhaust fumes especially if more than one people are doing it

1.When you snap your fingers, does the sound occur when your middle finger releases from your thumb, or when your middle finger hits the palm of your hand?


When it hits the palm.


2.If our planet is inhabited with creatures made by God...is it possible that there's another planet inhabited with creatures made by the Devil?


Yep. In theory. There's actually a science fiction book which deals with this concept, but I forget the name.


3.How come stealing from one book is plagiarism, but stealing from many is research?


As was said, its not, plagiarism is stealing from a book. Research is taking information from a book, reinterpreting it, and using it in your own analysis.


4.If two identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, would there kids be identical?


Unlikely. They'd look similar certainly, but there's just too much genetic variation and too many random factors to say they'd look similar. There's not even any reason they'd have the same eye, hair or skin colour.


5.Is it possible to scream at the bottom of your lungs?


Actually that's what you always do, since a scream is generated by the diaphragm pushing up on the bottom of your lungs.


6.If you can test drive cars at the dealer's, why not test-drive lawnmowers around at a hardware store?


Only lazy people use that type of lawn mower anyway, so they probably don't want to waste the effort test driving it.

1.When you snap your fingers, does the sound occur when your middle finger releases from your thumb, or when your middle finger hits the palm of your hand?

After a few minutes of experimentation, I've decided both.

4.If two identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, would there kids be identical?

No, would you expect 2 children produced by the same 2 parents to be identical?

6.If you can test drive cars at the dealer's, why not test-drive lawnmowers around at a hardware store?

Sounds like a good research project and I'm pretty sure it won't be plagiarism!

wayofthedragon u provided me with one naughty thought...
why can't we apply this on marriage??:D ;)

Can you fart and burp at the same time?

Biologically speaking you should be able to.

2. Since you have to pull over when you see a funeral coming down the road...what would you do if there were a funeral coming down both sides?

Since when did you have to pull over? If you're behind a hearse you move slowly, if you're ahead its kind of unimportant anyway since you'll dissappear into the distance.

3. Is there anything easier done than said?

Yes. Most Choi techniques are easier to do than explain. Instructions on furniture are often easier done than read (the reading is the confusing bit, once that's sorted out its easy, even easier if you ignore them), and so on.

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

Same reason a lot of girls are perfectly happy to wander around in string bikinis, but blush if they're seen in even modest underwear.

5.If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?

Simple, another operator will notice and call for them.

6.If Adam and Eve were white why are there black people?

White and black tones are due to two biological pressures. In the southern hemisphere where the sun is stronger even dark skin (which protects against UV) will allow enough vitamin D (produced by, guess what, UV) to be generated, while in the northern hemisphere lighter skin allows enough to be generated. So if Adam and Eve were white then they're descendents would slowly diverge to fill all niches in the earth's biosphere.

Would a fly without wings be called a walk?

Nope, dead.

Can fat people go skinny-dipping?

The skinny refers to your state (bare-skin) rather than your size, so yes. Not that they necessarily should though.

Why can't we apply try before you buy to marriage?

I did, still am in fact. My trial period runs out on the fifth of July next year.

2.why we fall in luv why not rise in luv?
3.Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
4.Why is the word "abbreviate" so long?
5.Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same?
6.Why is it called 'after dark', when it is really after light?

1. If people always claim to be seeing UFO's, isn't it possible that creatures from other planets could be living among us (I never saw a UFO, that wasn't identified later on anyway)

In theory, yes, although more likely the people aren't seeing UFOs. And of course the creatures from other planets would have to find some way to hide from six billion people and every spy satellite in the sky.


2. If God created us and everything that we know of, how did he come into existance?

If God did create everything he also created time, so if he existed before creating everything then he existed forever, without pause.


3. If God is the creator of everything in this universe we know of. Could there be other universes out there apart from ours with other gods as the creator or them?

In theory, yes, probably. Unless he created them all.


4. If everything evolved over millions of years, ect...shouldn't things still be evolving, and in years to come we will be in a different form? (no, I don't beleive in evolution, but it's something to think about for those who do)

Things are still evolving, there are some creatures with particularly short life spans in which we can see evolution happen. One example is a particular type of moth. As camoflage it has white wings which allow it to hide on silver birch trees, during the industrial revolution the ash in the air turned the bark of these trees black, and the moth developed black wings to hide on the tree. Now that its been pretty much cleaned up the wings are mostly white again, except a few mutations which were always around.


5. If it's okay for people to smoke ciggerettes, drink alchoholic beverages, and eat certain kind of foods which all does damage to the body, why is it illegal to do other drugs that are illegal, when even sugar kills brain cells, ciggerettes causes cancer and destroys your lungs. alcohol destroy your liver and get you drunk and make you do stupid things. And certain kinds of food you eat are link to numerous types of deseases such as cancer, heart desease, and so many others. Why not just let them do drugs if they want too?

So long as it doesn't affect or harm someone else without their consent I believe people should be permitted to do whatever they want to.


6. Why is a dog a dog and a cat a cat, is it possible for the people before our time to have called what we know today as a cat a dog, and a dog a cat, yet we just switched things around?

Given that the original Latin words were something along the lines of canus and felus I have to idea why we call them cat and dog, just words that have developed from stone age grunts over a period of millions of years.

the reason things like alcohol and tobacco are legal is because the government worked out they could make money from them, the only reason they don`t legalise every drug is because it`d be political suicide

that one`s easy to work out, he stands on tiptoes on one foot and keeps the other perfectly parallel with the ground, if you`re wearing boots or some other tough soled footwear it looks like you`re flying

"that one`s easy to work out, he stands on tiptoes on one foot and keeps the other perfectly parallel with the ground, if you`re wearing boots or some other tough soled footwear it looks like you`re flying"

So how come it looks like both feet are off the ground?

On TV it looked like both feet were up at least 10 inches???

Yes. The shockwave still travels through the air, whether you can feel it or not, unless you subscribe to one of the more useless theories in quantum physics.


Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Egg came long before the chicken, reptiles laid eggs, before chickens ever came into being.


Do Bear's sh*t in the woods?

Most likely.


Is Levitation possible? (Wanna know how David Blaine does that)

Yes. Although not without external aid. I believe the greatest achievement so far was the levitation of a woman in Japan to a height of several inches using high-powered superconducting electro-magnets.

hmm i forgot about this thread..
WOTD here's some more for u
1. Why is it that when a person tells you there's over a million stars in the universe you believe them, but if someone tells you there's wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?
2. if you fed a bee nothing but oranges, would it start making marmalade?
3.Why is it you get a penny for your thoughts, but have to put in your two cents worth?
4. electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
5. why is it called lipstick when it always comes off?
6.Why do you click on start to exit Microsoft Windows?

1. Why is it that when a person tells you there's over a million stars in the universe you believe them, but if someone tells you there's wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?


Because you can touch the paint, but you couldn't count the stars. If you could then you would.


2. if you fed a bee nothing but oranges, would it start making marmalade?

Orange blossom honey is available in supermarkets.


3.Why is it you get a penny for your thoughts, but have to put in your two cents worth?

The two cents includes admission into the discussion.

4. electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Electricity doesn't 'come' from anything, its the movement of charged particles.

5. why is it called lipstick when it always comes off?

You try getting it off a white shirt collar, then you'll see how much stick there is.

6.Why do you click on start to exit Microsoft Windows?

Because most people are backwards.

ok here's new set for u...
1. Seeing as cupid is so good at matchmaking, does he have a girlfriend?
2. Why is that when fish die in water, they float to the top, but when humans die in water, they sink to the bottom?
3. If money is the root of all evil then how come churches ask for it?
4. If you could walk through the walls, wouldn’t you fall through the floor?
5.If your named Will and you are in the army do you get worried when people say fire at will?
6. If they develop a supersonic train, will they give it a whistle?

1. Seeing as cupid is so good at matchmaking, does he have a girlfriend?

Damn, I used to know this one. I think he did but it ended in tragedy, as with most Greek legends.

2. Why is that when fish die in water, they float to the top, but when humans die in water, they sink to the bottom?

Actually humans float in water most of the time when they die, exceptions being when they drown and their lungs fill with water. Fish are naturally bouyant, and remain underwater by constant effort, so when they die and their bodies relax they float up. Humans are denser and heavier, so only float with air in their lungs.

3. If money is the root of all evil then how come churches ask for it?

There is actually a religion, I forget the name, that says money is the root of all evil, and so want to collect as much as possible to save people from their selves.

4. If you could walk through the walls, wouldn’t you fall through the floor?

Yep. In fact you'd probably fall through the Earth and oscillate around the centre, until you were killed by the heat.

5.If your named Will and you are in the army do you get worried when people say fire at will?

I've always wanted to try that one...

6. If they develop a supersonic train, will they give it a whistle?

Given that the shockwave will most likely be enough to shatter eardrums at close range and possibly cause internal injuries I doubt they'll really need a whistle.

1. why goofy walks on two legs but his dog pluto on four but they both r dogs...??
2.You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"?
3. Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?
4. Why does an alarm clock "go off" when it begins ringing?
5. Why do we play in recitals and recite in plays?
6. Why aren't there bulletproof pants?
7. when u hav xray eye don't u see even with ur eyes closed?

1. why goofy walks on two legs but his dog pluto on four but they both r dogs...??

Technically Goofy would be referred to as a 'furry', ie a humanoid with the characteristics of another creature. Even in fiction/comics/games involving furries there are still animals. Another possible explanation would be that Goofy, being a humanoid dog, is further evolved, same as humans and chimps.

2.You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"?

Carefully remove label, place on floor, carry package into another room, and open there.

3. Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?

Damn. :(

4. Why does an alarm clock "go off" when it begins ringing?

The going off refers to the circuit triggering, same as a bomb going off. It doesn't actually refer to the alarm itself which is going on, usually for far, far too long and too loudly.

5. Why do we play in recitals and recite in plays?

Recitals are simply repeating a set piece, a poem, song, etc, you're just reciting that piece. In a play you don't really recite, at least hopefully you don't, you're meant to act instead, or in other words to 'play' at being the character you're representing.

6. Why aren't there bulletproof pants?

The simple fact is that if you were to armour the legs, arms or head then it wouldn't really help, since the bullet would probably still break your leg. Not only is your chest the most vital area (excluding the head, I'll get to that) but its also the biggest target, and the one people tend to aim at. A shot to the limbs isn't going to be fatal in most cases (yes, I know about the femoral artery) and using armour to try and spread the impact will probably cause more damage than the original shot would. In the case of the head bulletproofing would probably just lead to your neck being broken.

7. when u hav xray eye don't u see even with ur eyes closed?

Technically yes, although depending on whether your eyes were passive or active sensors you might not. An active sensor could theoretically shut off when you close your eyes, while a passive sensor would barely be able to see anything anyway.
