Questions I cannot answer

[DeMoN]

I've been wondering about some questions. I have no idea what the answers to them are. Sorry if some are stupid, but they are still questions!

Let's see who can answer these...

1. Why do pictures of cars on the net have license plates blurred out? It's not like you can hide your license plate on the road. What is the big secret? TT - just to prevent paranoid owners... quick outing to see your mistress can be quickly forgotten by witnesses, a picture could stay on the net forever, with your F355 parked right in front of the mistress house. Ronin005 - i think people do this on forums, cause tension can get high and someone might want to harm someone, even if its just playing a little trick. well me having a good friend whos a cop and has a friend working at the dmv, can get me plenty of info from a license plate alone, then his lawyer buddies im sure can scroundge some more up on the persons family and its endless. so to make it harder for such a thing to happen they blur it out. (i blur it out myself) 2. In a race, if the winner crosses the line and then crashes and dies, does he still win? ZfrkS62 - yes he still wins. Then the race gets named after him in his memory. 3. Why do people's nose get full of mucus when they cry? Dan\/6 - when something makes you happy or sad, your tear glands will produce emotional tears. Used tears then drain down into two tiny openings on the brim of your upper and lower eyelids at the inner edge of your eyes, which lead to the nasolacrimal tear ducts next to the bridge of your nose. From there, they are channeled into your nasal cavity where they are swallowed or blown out with other nasal fluids. 4. Why do girls order a Big Mac and Diet Pepsi? ZfrkS62 - Because only in the US can you order a 4,000 calorie burger and balance it out with a "diet" pop. And girls seem to think diet=weight loss 5. If having sex before marriage is a sin, then why did God make it feel so good? saadie - god made the feeling so good, just to know how much one can control himself ... by obeying him and living life by the way he wants. 6. Why do people kick their tires to see if they have enough air? Ronin005 - thats some old wise tale, all it took was some idiot at a gas station watching a trucker hit his tires with one of them sticks they have to hear the sound which then they would be able to tell if they need air or not. so im thinking that someone saw it and then figured well since thier tires are smaller and they dont have one of them sticks a swift kick will do. and there we have it. 7. Why in the exact moment you plant your ass in the chair/bed/sofa/bathroom, turn on the tv, put the popcorn in your lap, and start to enjoy a game (soccer, football, etc) the phone/doorbell rings? ? 8.Why is called "taking a dump" when you're accually leaving it? DeMoN - I believe it is because "taking" takes the form of "having." Its the same as TAKING a nap, where "taking" is understood as "having" due to the context of the sentence. After all, you need to take a shit to later be correct when you "give a shit" about something. 9. Why do they put braille on the buttons of those drive-thru ATM machines? If you are blind, should you not be driving? AL123 - probably so they don't get sued. antonioledesma - have never used one of those, but you are ATM constructor/builder, you will not go though the process of making new buttons when you already have those. 10. Why do hot dogs come in packs of 10, but buns come in packs of 8? antonioledesma - for you to buy another complete pack of 8 buns. DeMoN - Because that way you can eat two of the hot dogs to know when the other 8 are done. 11. Why do they print the lyrics to songs inside the booklets that come with CDs? ZfrkS62 - To avoid lyric confusion. ie: 'scuse me while i kiss the sky vs. 'scuse me while i kiss this guy Wink I'm sure Jimi never heard the end of that one. 12. A tree falling down in the woods when nobody hears it, does it make sound? DeMoN - yes it does. Just because there is no one to hear it doesnt mean there is no sound. I mean, just because a deaf guy cant hear me doesnt mean I cant make sounds. 13. Do fish swim on their backs while nobody see them? DeMoN - Only if they are dead 14. If working is so damn healthy...why doesnt the doctor tell the sick to work? DeMoN - It's not healthy, but without work we cannot live (money). 15. Why ppl scratch their heads when they they're thinking or don't know an answer? DeMoN - To cover your eyes so the teacher can't see you cheating. 16. If its 0 degrees outside today and its forcasted to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? nthfinity - chances are that the meteoroligist is measuring in units of degrees F, or C... as opposed to K. where 0 C =273 K so if it is 2x colder tomarrow, it is then 131.5K tomarrow. another measure of the same would be to compare vs. comfort level... 25 C, so 0 is cold, and 2x colder is then -25 C or 248 K. 17. If you swallow a burp does it turn into a fart? DeMoN - It wont convert to a fart, but if you have gas coming out your mouth, then that means ur ass is full of it! 18. If a water spins clockwise when it drains in the northern hemisphere, and water spins counterclockwise when it drains in the southern hemisphere...which way does it spin at the equator? topgeartom - In a Michael Palin documentary where he went round the world. there was this place in Africa right on thw equator, and the guy demonstrated it with a plastic bowl that had a hole in the bottom, water and some twigs. When they were technically in the northern hemisphere it went clockwise, when they walked a few yards south and went into the southern hemisphere, it drained anti-clockwise, then they stepped right under the sign that marked the equator line, and the twigs just stayed perfectly still. the water still drained, it just didnt rotate at all. 19. If it is a 50 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 50mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind? DeMoN - Yes you would because there is no way that the wind blows in one direction on a straight line. 20. If you took a compass to outer space would it still point "magnetic north"? Is there still a north, south, east, and west in space? nthfinity - undetectable with a normal magnetic compass. the sun has dense core of hydrogen, where there is so much energy, that there is a magnetic n/s. The earth is based on the Iron core for magnetic n/s... however, in iron rich areas of the surface, magnetic north/south is altered by a few degrees... and are well documented for flight accuracy. 21. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? ? 22. Why is it that when your sitting at a red light and the car in front of you inches up just a bit you have the urge to do the same? You know the light is red and your not going anywhere. But you still do it. DeMoN - So you dont get honked by the person behind!

I will post more questions later. Feel free to post your own weird questions (dont post questions that can be answered by google, keep this questions Original).

I will include the answers on this first post whenever they are answered. If you have a better answer, post it and I will update.

[Pimp Racer]

1. I really also wonder why people blur out their plates? Maybe some type of security issue or something?

2. I think the dead guy still wins.

3. No clue.

4. Becuase that shit in the Diet Pepsi got to their brains and turned them to being stupid as fuck.

throw some more at me!

[DeMoN]

ahahah what u mean some more, you havent answered any of my questions!

Number 4 you sort of did answer I give you that one. Let me think of some more before I post some more questions.

Maybe I have one question

-How can people find time to take 1900 GT4 1280 X 960 wallpapers? Especially when they OWN the game?

[antonioledesma]

1.- because... I'm taking a wild guess...because it could be more easy to obtain info on that person?

2.- I guess so, he still wins.
But what would happen if he crashes, the impact kills him instantly and the car still moves to the finish line?

4.- because they don't drink 100 kCal of the regular pepsi?

[ZfrkS62]

-How can people find time to take 1900 GT4 1280 X 960 wallpapers? Especially when they OWN the game?

LMAO!!!

1. to keep people from looking up their adress and stalking them. If you can get a users address off his IP , how hard could it be to go through the dmv with the plate numbers?

2. yes he still wins. Then the race gets named after him in his memory.

3. I can't even answer that one. Pressure difference acting like a siphon?

4. Because only in the US can you order a 4,000 calorie burger and balance it out with a "diet" pop. And girls seem to think diet=weight loss :roll:


-Why does water ruin leather? the cows don't seem to mind

[TT]

LOL, I never saw a girl ordering a Big Mac and a diet coke. Girls at McDonald's often order salads

As for the plates, I was against it too since as you say, you can't hide them in real life... but well, too many owners are paranoid, and while a quick outing to see your mistress can be quickly forgotten by witnesses, a picture could stay on the net forever, with your F355 parked right in front of the mistress house

Seriously, it's just to prevent paranoid owners to ask you to delete pictures if the plate is blurred out it would be also hard for them to be sure it is really their car

1. to keep people from looking up their adress and stalking them.

2. yes he still wins.

3. when something makes you happy or sad, your tear glands will produce emotional tears. Used tears then drain down into two tiny openings on the brim of your upper and lower eyelids at the inner edge of your eyes, which lead to the nasolacrimal tear ducts next to the bridge of your nose. From there, they are channeled into your nasal cavity where they are swallowed or blown out with other nasal fluids.

4. Because women are from another planet

I guess the answer to this one CAN BE GOOGLED! AHAHA. Very scientific answer there.

5. If having sex before marriage is a sin, then why did God make it feel so good?

6. Why do people kick their tires to see if they have enough air?

or you run to the phone thinking it's a job opp, but just turns out to be your parents

[antonioledesma]

running with soap in your body, shampoo in the head, with a towel barely covering the necessary.

another question:
why do ppl pay or go to pay at the last moment?just minutes before the store or any public service office closes? Even when they had time to pay 2 weeks ago?

[ZfrkS62]

because people put off shit they don't want to do.

why do hot dogs come in packs of 10, but buns come in packs of 8?
