View Full Version : What questions bother you?
I was watching the HD programme about the sun tonight and the presenter stated that there are 20 billion stars in the universe.
I want to know who went out there and counted them.

"Why is a clothes horse called a clothes horse? because it looks nothing like a horse?"
:roll:

There are between 20-100 billion stars in the our Galaxy ie Milky-Way (not the sweet) and 140 billion galaxies in the Universe .....
Yes but who counted them?

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

This question baffles me all the time. There's only so many answers that you can give before you simply can't answer it anymore ;)

Can fat people go skinny-dipping?
Yes but who counted them?
My semi-educated guess is that the number of stars in one area of our galaxy was counted, then applied to the total area of the galaxy. As somebody already said, the estimate is something vague like 20-100 million. If it was on some tv programme they were probably just taking the lower estimate, so they could go on to talk about something else.
Anyway, a couple of questions I've been asked recently which annoyed me are: "Why do you find it so hard to believe?" and "Why do you so easily dismiss God?"... Urgh...

I've always wondered that too. :eek:
What I'd like to know is: how many miles of fencing are there criss-crossing the UK?
I`m surprised no one has put this yet so I will.
"Do you take this woman?":lol:
When you see someone looking at their watch for the time, go up to them and say "Excuse me have you got the right time please"? then watch them look again. I know its not a question but i dont care.

I work with astronomers. They don't count all of them. They count how many are in a bit of the sky, then multiply. Of course that makes the number an estimate, not an exact count. BTW, I don't think there are 20 billion stars in the Universe, more like that number just in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and there are millions of galaxies.

It's often said in sporting circles: "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser".
But the same can be said conversely: "Show me a bad loser, and I'll show you a loser".
So why would anyone choose to be a bad loser?

"Lets get a Wii Fit !!" .. :mad: .. I hear it a lot these days.
Its my girlfriends latest issue to wear me down with. Its a pointless waste of money when we have pavements to walk, jog and cycle on and large areas of grass for football, rugby and athletics. Encouraging people to spend money so they can spend more time in front of a TV doing things they can do in the fresh air for nothing is silly.
So here's why I wont buy her one .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iYBmAVuBns

Eating the worms!!
Just been pondering, If air weighs nothing...why do drivers have to make sure their tyres have 32 lbs. at all times?
What bothers me is when people touch my bump without asing or they ask while they're hands are on my bump. I hate it and if they asked first i would have no problem with it. The only person i really don't mind touching my bump anytime without asking is my partner. He's determined to feel our baby kick ;) Our wee monkey always waits untill he moves his hand of before he kicks lol
How much did that cost? Or did you really need another pair of shoes/boots or handbag?Both of those questions drive me cuckoo ;) x
