1.How old are you before it can be said you died of old age?
2.If humans evolved from monkey's/apes, why are they still here?
3.Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
4.Why do sleeping pills have warning labels that state :'Caution: May Cause Drowsiness?
5.How come people tell you to stay a kid for as long as you can. Yet the moment you do anything childish or immature they tell you to grow up.
6.Why is it written "May contain traces of peanuts or other kind of nuts" on peanut butter jars.
7.How come on TV the bell always rings and then the kids go to class, but in real life you need to be in class before the bell rings?
8.Why do mattresses have designs on them when they're always covered with sheets?
9.Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?
10.Why does Donald Duck wear a towel when he comes out of the shower, when he doesn't usually wear any pants?

haha, I could answer most of those, but it would be in a very sarcastic way, so I won't do that just yet, unless I get bored in the next couple of minutes. I've always wondered this, too...if we evolved from apes, why aren't we seeing half-way mixtures between apes and humans? Shouldn't there still be evolution taking place, from monkey to human, which would be some odd monkey person? lol

Guy, they call that "the Missing Link" and I've known a few people in my life who match the description.

Refusing to grow up has worked just fine for me so far.

You know I have always wondered about some of those things. It is good to know that I am not the only person who thinks about things like this. I have theories. I have yet to come up with a logical explanation as to why things like this occur.

I have always wondered about this: Why can a person spike the football which is obviously intentional grounding, but if the refs think you were trying to get rid of the ball they call a penalty on you for intentional-grounding. Spiking is intentional-grounding.

There is a specific "spike" rule in the book that protects teams when the intent is to stop the clock, but intentional grounding generally is accepted to be throwing an incomplete pass while under defensive pressure. Spiking the football to stop the clock is done behind the line of scrimmage and immediately after the snap, so there is no defensive pressure.

Spiking the football to stop the clock is done behind the line of scrimmage and immediately after the snap, so there is no defensive pressure. And yet Gvona Turner was called for intentional grounding or ineligible receiver against Hamburg for spiking the ball and hitting an offensive lineman in the back of the leg. That was the knit-picky call of the year. |

I don't remember that one. I can't remember his ever attempting to stop the clock that way. It's pretty hard to do anything other than spike it when you're trying to stop the clock.

[quote He spiked the ball from the shotgun on the final drive of the game. He didn't throw it straight down? And why did he spike it out of the shotgun formation? Normally if you're going to spike the football, you do it from under center because they whole point is to save time. Was there miscommunication on the play or something? I wonder if this was when I was dazed after somebody ran over me over on the sidelines during that game... |

I wonder if this was when I was dazed after somebody ran over me over on the sidelines during that game... If I remember right he threw the ball more at the centers feet which must be why it resulted in a penalty. It was the first time I hade ever seen anyone try and spike from the gun. Maybe it was miscommunication. |

Here is my attempt. 1. Old age is in your mind. If you die of something uncool, that's old age. Like sleeping. It can be seven or seventy. Its still death by old age. 2. The apes and monkeys are still around (according to the idea from what I know) because the ones with the traits that eventually turned into us, died because they couldn't carry on (probably old age, we have no idea how boring they were) and could go have more missing link babies. Most likely because they were boring. Boring doesn't help out a species much, huh? 3. Simple. As soon as glue contacts air, it dries. 4. Because they don't want to get sued by an idiot with a good lawyer. Same reason I put disclaimers on my post sometimes. (Please don't sue Memnock) 5. So you don't die of old age and because they are about to. 6. Same answer as 4. (please, please don't sue me!) 7. That bell is better. It saves people. 8. Kick the sheet off. What do you wanna see? Boringness? I think I would rather see power rangers. 9. To make you feel like you didn't waste as much money as you probably did on a boring t.v. Get a real good t.v. and I guarantee it won't be a called a set. 10. Why ask why? Mystery is the spice in life that keeps it from becoming boring. Memnock for President.

like the question if a tree falls in the woods and noone is around ot see it or hear it fall does it make a sound? Sound is always there when there is something to the sound to travel to. Let me turn this around. If there is no-one around to see the tree, is the tree still there? What I wanna know is what is the sound of one hand clapping. And how would you do it. With the fingers on the palm of one hand or on your leg or chest or something? Memnock for President. (payed for by the Memnock Alliance) |
