    Things that make you go ........Hmmmmmm

    Why do we press harder on a 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?

    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 injection?

    Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

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

    Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

    Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

    What is the speed of darkness?

    Are there specially reserved parking spaces for "normal" people at the
    Special Olympics?

    If you send someone 'Styrofoam', how do you pack it?

    If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as
    cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

    If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

    If it's true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing
    here?

    If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it
    a hostage situation?

    Do you cry under water?

    How important does a person have to be before they are considered
    assassinated instead of just murdered?

    If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

    Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

    How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be
    a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

    Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up
    every two hours?

    If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

    Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in
    binoculars to look at things on the ground?

    Talking about light and dark speed.....the only thing which actually moves faster than light (apart from the theoretical tachyon) is bad news. Attempts to use bad news as a fuel for FTL starships have stonewalled due to the consequence that wherever you arrive nobody wants to see you......[msnwink]

    I found that on a forum and thought it very funny........

    it's almost as good as the buttered bread / cat antigravity machine!

    Based on the twin principles that buttered bread will always fall face down and cats always land on their feet.... consider the consequences of strapping a piece of bread... buttered side up... to the back of a cat... and then dropping it.

    The twin "device" will hover just above the ground.... rapidly rotating as the buttered side of the bread and the cat's feet compete to land on the ground.

    To create your own hovercraft, merely assemble an array of these "buttered cats", and place you lounge/deck chair/spa on top... It even comes complete with the satisfying "hum" of an engine... the purring of the cats!

    Why do they make recorders and then make parents sit through the agony of hearing them played?

    Why do people ask how much things are in the pound shop?

    Why do teenagers grunt at you all day and then burst into animated chat when a friend calls?

    Wht do people say "i don't want to be rude,but...." when they are about to be?
