Unanswered Questions for Ponderation

[Renee750il]

What questions wake you up in the middle of your workday daydreaming? In the middle of class?

Mine for the day:

Was Hamlet the first documented emo?

 

[Bigpoodleperson]

For me, it would be... When people say that something unnerved me, wouldnt that mean teh oppisite of what they ment? When your nervey/nervous arnt you all uptight and stuff? If it UNnerved you then you would be relaxed, right?

Why we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway.

I always wonder if people who work in Tax offices are genetically engineered to be suspicious of EVERYONE..

A modern translation of Hamlet featuring Hamlet as an emo kid is on my list of graphic novels to write. I have the whole cast worked out and it's rather hilarious. I just don't have the time right now... other projects to do...

I believe I have scribbled somewhere "Crawling in thine skin... o s'wounds, s'wounds, wilt they heal?"

 

[Renee750il]

I put the Hamlet question to everyone in my workshop group, along with a suggestion that they refer to the Urban Dictionary.

This should be interesting . . . the oldest ones (in their late 60s and 70s) have the most elasticity of mind. I'm betting they are fascinated with UD.

A likely story!

A likely story!

Well not being male, or gay, or Asian for that matter.. It would be tricky!

When someone says "no offence, but.." it's followed by something offensive. People don't use "no offence.." and follow up with a non-offensive comment enough.

No offence, but you're the best!

What questions wake you up in the middle of your workday daydreaming? In the middle of class?

While driving:
Why do we it call it "rush hour" when my car barely moves?
When a bug hits my windshield, what exactly determines the color of the resulting spatter?

While working:
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station ...

Consequence of living in a resort area:
Why is it called "tourist season" if we can't shoot them?

Legal questions:
Can I yell "Movie!" in a crowded fire station?
Why is kidnapping a felony but catnapping just taking a quick sleep break?

Science questions:
Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zig-zag on its way down?

Mergers and Aquisitions:
If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?
If you cross a Shih Tzu with a Bulldog, would the result be a Bull ShihT?

Oxymoronic, and other language oddities:
How can anyone "Act naturally"? Isn't it either acting or being natural?
Why are wars contained in one country called "civil wars"? Is there any real "civility" in any war?
If ignorance truly is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
Why do we say: False fact, freezer burn, good grief, go ahead and back up, critical acclaim, jumbo shrimp, etc.
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Why isn't the word "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds?
Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

Biblical:
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitos?
Who killed the Dead Sea?
Why isn't the Red Sea red; why isn't the Black Sea black?

Seemingly non-sensical:
If a 7-Eleven is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why did they put locks on the doors?
Why are instructions at the bank drive-through also written in Braille?
Why did the Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why does sour cream have a "use by" date?
How do "Don't Walk on the Grass" signs get there?
If it's true that we are all here to help others, then what exactly are those others here for?
What happens if you get scared half to death, but it happens twice?
If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then why do we say "Quit while you're ahead"?

here's one that my 12th grade English Teacher told us about. it was on a final exam by one of her colleagues...

"Why is a cow?"

that was it. nothing more. nothing less. that counted for 20% of your grade for the year.

Mu.

 

[bshertzer]

everything from "Why isn't a cow?" to full blown pages and pages of BS answers. i remember her saying that people were sitting there dumbfounded, not knowing what to write. :rofl1:

 

[skKi]

Now how in the heck can you grade something like that?
