Why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

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

Why does tarzan not have a beard?

Why does superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a gun at him?

Why do kamizaze pilots wear helmets?

What is the speed of darkness?

If its true we are here to help others, what are the others doing here?

If the temperture is zero outside today and its going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

Whos idea was it to put "S" in lisp?

You never know, they might not be totally flat.

Why not?

Because they can't really check if there are 4 billion stars.

Any other substances present might make it less lethal.

I don't know. Maybe he just couldn't grow one.

Reflex reaction.

So you can see they're Kamikaze pilots before they hit you.

Same as the speed of light.

To be helped.

zero.

Well if there was no S it would be lip and that's already taken.

Because we are inherently stupid.
Because banks are inherently greedy
Wet paint is easier to comprehend
The needles are usually sterile to start with
So his beard could not be grabbed in battle
'cause he likes to show his human side
They like to keep their hair in place
as fast as the speed of light..sorry flair
to be helped...sorry flair
-1365 degrees celsius

When I was at sea we used to have an apprentice we used to called "Willy the Wonder Boy", NOT because he was amazing or anything BUT because all day long he would be saying "I wonder how that works, I wonder why that is broken, I wonder where so'n'so is".

I think wondering is healthy, even hypothetical wondering. Better a mind wondering than wandering.

I wonder where Willy is now.

At least Champion the Wonder Horse made it on to Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5i_pEYGe1o

Don't think "Willy the Wonder Boy" ever made it past the dizzy heights of apprentice.

Kamakaze pilots didnt wear helmets, they wore sort of bandana things, you know with the rising sun on them!
