View Full Version : It's Question Time!
04jessops 30-04-2007, 18:09 Let's have a bit of fun!
You can ask any random question you want, maybe if you actually want the answer, or just to be very funny and random. You can also answer other people's questions if you want, and we'll see what we come up with!
I'll start:
1) How do they get the sweetcorn off the cob and into packets to freeze it? Do they have a special sweetcorn comb or something??
2) Who writes all the Sheffield Star headlines that are put up outside newsagents? Are they done by computer in a special handwriting font, or does someone actually write them out and photocopy them?
OK, let's have some fun! Start posting..
What purpose do head lice serve?
04jessops 06-05-2007, 18:09 Does anyone have any other questions?
Jabberwocky 06-05-2007, 18:19 Headlice are a miracle of evolution.
They say that life on Earth started when a bolt of lightening hit a pool of water that contained various nutrients, well headlice begin their existance as dandruff.
People with fillings in their teeth and who wear glasses are perfect conductors for a phenomenon called "Invisible lightening" which strikes the arm of the specs, travels inwards and into the fillings, then from there it heads through the skull and into the scalp.
The tiny little gap between dandruff and scalp is effected in some way thats yet to be determined by science and time travels faster in that miniscule area, Evloution races forward and... voi-laaaaaar, head lice.
Ivor&Mel 06-05-2007, 18:42 Is this a question?

04jessops 09-05-2007, 16:33 I've got another one - Why do some traffic lights have grills on them? What's the point?
What purpose do wasps serve?

Usually seen at more complicated junctions, they're to stop you from accidentally (or otherwise) reading the wrong set of lights (and potentially causing an accident). They act a bit like blinkers - but placed on the object rather than the viewer - shielding all but the intended from their view. :)
My question: I want to know what wasps are for, too. Also, I wonder if a bee or a wasp would win in a 1:1 fight?

It's so you can cook your tea on them if they stay red for a very long time.

That's clever! Although most of them just block the light for anyone who tries to look at them!
Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
SupraSteve 09-05-2007, 17:11 That's clever! Although most of them just block the light for anyone who tries to look at them!
When they're set up properly, the person at the front of the queue should have just as good a view of the lights as they would if the lights were without a grille. :)
The shrouds that lights have is to stop the sunlight from hitting the lens and making it appear that the lights is on (for example, green) when it isn't (e.g. is actually red!). Even if the sun can't directly hit the lens the shrouds are useful to increase contrast and thus visibility with the aim of reducing misinterpretations/not seeing the lights at all, therefore (hopefully) reducing accidents! :)

Yes, if this is an answer .......

To keep their ears warm?
There's Smell, Feel, Taste, and Sight.
What's the 5th sense?
cressida 13-05-2007, 07:14 is it hearing?
04jessops 21-06-2007, 18:03 Why are lots of well-known people known buy their surnames (Mozart, Hitler etc), and not their first names?
Waltheof 23-06-2007, 12:52 Why are lots of well-known people known buy their surnames (Mozart, Hitler etc), and not their first names?
there are exceptions--with the Bach family who were all musicians, you have to distinguish, say, Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach.
And in the past, many were known only by one name anyway, such as Attila the Hun (and Alaric, also a Hun), and King Alfred (who didn't acquire his title the Great until the 17th century).
My question: How do they get miniature sailing ships into bottles???

q. are humans going to evolve into different creatures?
Waltheof 29-06-2007, 22:50 that:)

What with our increasing dependence on cybernetic devices, computers and so on, we will all mutate into Borg.
Question: How could Noah have packed into the Ark all the creatures the writers of Genesis did not know about (e.g. the Antipodean ones), as well as things like microbes, viruses, spores, diatoms and other microscopic things of which they were completely ignorant?

If that's the answer ...is the question.....Why do Essex girls have knees???
04jessops 31-07-2007, 16:47 Why have I forgotten what question I was going to ask?
04jessops 26-08-2007, 14:57 Here's my old old thread. I was wondering how it was doing! (Not too well I see.) Oh well.

Answer: Surprising at it might seem, he didn't (despite living to 900 years or whatever it was...) It's a made-up story!
Question: Why do male and female clothes have buttons on different sides?
ShinyPurple 27-08-2007, 17:29 Question: Why do male and female clothes have buttons on different sides?
So that men can unfasten their jackets while reaching for their swords and women can unfasten their blouses to breastfeed while holding a baby :D
Why do we have little toes?
I always thought ladies clothes fastened the opposite way because it was the maids who did up all the buttons.

So the big one has more room. :hihi:

A. They can't think up any better ones.
Q. Why do extension leads always tie themselves into knots? :confused:
jillpill 31-10-2007, 21:11 Why is there always a teaspoon left in the bottom of the washing up bowl when you empty the water out?
Why is there always a teaspoon left in the bottom of the washing up bowl when you empty the water out?
I guess it's the same as why there is always an odd sock when you empty the washing machine! :)
The world needs an answer!! :hihi::hihi:
jillpill 31-10-2007, 22:06 I guess it's the same as why there is always an odd sock when you empty the washing machine! :)
The world needs an answer!! :hihi::hihi:
:hihi: :hihi: Too right!
Where do all the other socks go? :huh:
Is there a sock sanctuary maybe??
jillpill 31-10-2007, 23:14 Do they live with Donkeys?
Would keep their feet warm :confused:
What an enlightening thread this has turned out to be!! Until tonight I would never have thought of donkeys wearing all our cast off odd socks...and this answer has been there under our noses all along!!
Do you think the donkeys wear the socks on the beach too while giving children rides....or would they make their hooves sweat??
jillpill 31-10-2007, 23:34 Oh no! They would stop their feet getting too worn by the sand! If they rubbed them with oil first the warmth would keep their feet sooooooooooo soft
Would this be a good spa treatment?
Do Donkeys go to Spas? If they did would they let them in??
04jessops 10-11-2007, 16:33 Do Donkeys go to Spas? If they did would they let them in?
Probably...
Waltheof 10-11-2007, 18:34 How many people use Cockney rhyming slang, and is there a dictionary of it?
I'll get me sheep (and goat)
I know nothing of cockney rhyming slang but taking Waltheof's lead...could the answer/question (gosh I'm confused:hihi:) be coat?
I think I once saw a Cockney Rhyming Slang Dictionary...of course it could just have been a dream!!
Why are funny mixed up drinks in elaborately festooned glasses called cocktails??
Can crocodiles stick there tongue out (if they can't then at least they won't mock you before gobbling you.:)
