Question the unanswered

Post by windshieldbug »

What's another word for synonym? Is it possible to have a civil war? If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Why aren't hemorrhoids called asteroids? If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is this a hostage situation? If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless? Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? What do batteries run on? When it rains, why don't sheep shrink? If the cops arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to talk? What do you do if you discover an endangered animal that eats only endangered plants? Is it possible to be totally partial? Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections? Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets? How do you know when it's time to tune your bagpipes? What is the speed of dark?
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

If a teacher were to teach a younger grade than they were teaching before, would they be “degraded”?

The really old hotel room gag - updated for inflation:

3 travelers went to a hotel and wanted to get lodging for the night. The manager said that only one room was available which they could share for $300. After they went to the room the manger decided that he should probably have charged them less so he sent the bellhop to their room with $50 in tens. The bellhop couldn't make change to split the $50 evenly among the 3 travelers so they each took a ten letting the bellhop keep $20. Thus each traveler paid $90 for the room for a total of $270 and jointly paid the bellhop $20. Since $270 + $20 = $290 where is the missing $10?

Banks use those same machines as walk-up ATMs and it helps the sight impaired work the machine.

The $270 already contains the guy's tip. You can only add up cash in. You cannot add cash out.

Bill = $250
Guests = $30 refund
Bellman = $20 tip
Total = $300

Cash in actually only equals $250 and not $300. Actual cash returned equals $30. Amount missing from original total is $20, which was the employees "tip". Any other way of looking at it is an old short changer's scam and a logical fallacy that most would not catch until too late. If you tell it fast enough most people would just accept that the $10 is missing. This idea can easily be reversed and used to rob even a well-educated cashier.

Your signature does not match your logical approach to a question.

Would finding the question count as a answer to a question that is staring at you? :D

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of coconuts, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? :shock:

I'll bet the Professor could have built a nuclear reactor out of bamboo and seaweed, if he had put his mind to it
