Ever Wonder ~~~~

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why don’t you ever see the headline “Psychic Wins Lottery”?

Why is “abbreviated” such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do “practice”?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?

When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?

Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?

If you take it's wings off, is it still a fly?

Why doctors call it practice? Because it is. I'm in EMT school and we practice our skills on every run. Some things work some don't. It really is practicing, not a science. Scary but true.

And I think we all know that congress is the opposite of progress.

actully dark is faster because if you open a closet, you will see the light slowly coming out but the dark is so fast you cant see it leave.

more unanswerable questions

Try answering these:

If you shoot a mime, do you have to use a silencer???
If a cannibal eats a comedian, does he taste funny???
Why did Kamakaze pilots wear crash helmets???
Where did Superman hide his street clothes???
How does a blind man know when done wiping his butt???

This one got me in so much trouble in Catholic school:

If a human thought is an electric impulse to the brain, and since electricity cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be altered.
What happens to a thought when the human body dies???

Just some food for thought...

Well for your last one it is not electricity that cannot be created or destroyed, that is energy and there is a differance.
And one way that energy dissipitaes from your cold lifeless corpse is well, it looses heat. :P Just a thought.
