Random question thread
 

Answer any one (or more) of the previously asked random questions. Be serious, sagacious, silly, sarcastic or smartalecious as you will.

Then throw in a random question of your own.

Repeat.


Here are a few to get you started:

If your car was a kind of soup, what kind of soup would it be?

Why do book page numbers always start with page one on the right hand side?

If someone refers to "the south end of a penguin", is that its head or its feet?

Because the first numbered page of a book always begin with the page that lays on the right side.

Why do Americans drive on the right side of the road when the rest of the world drives on the left?

Despite the rest of the world blaming America for everything, it is not our fault that they are doing it wrong.

Why do hotdogs come in 10s and buns in 8? ANSI dealt with the shower hook conundum, why not this?

Because Henry Ford decided to put the steering wheel on the left.

Red countries drive on right, blue on left.

Thinking about this a little more fully ... May not have a damn bit of anything to do with anything, but you mount a horse from the near (left facing the front) side, and you mount a car similarly.

Now, the Brits are all about horses, and the whole mounting from the near side comes from them, so I REALLY don't get right-hand drive cars ...

If my car were a kind of soup, what kind of soup would it be?

It would be some sort of Korean soup made out of puppies, kim chee, and bok choy, and garlic of course.


What is the speed of dark? How far is up?

How long is my left thumbnail?

The speed of dark is c.

c+1


cuz, erm... the speed of light is actually c..and if it's the same, dark would be caught up by light, and therefore no longer dark.... or something

thanks, I'm grooving now.


Hamma Time!

I have no answers. Only questions.

I have answers. Many of them.

Yes we know.

Some of them are good......

yes they are.

Sorry. I shouldn't have contaminated this thread with my grumpiness. My apologies.

I'm cool, I liked your post

Maybe I should post more often when I'm feeling less than good? (there's a question)

yes, you should (there's an answer)




;)

Thanks, but I think I'll give it a miss. If I start blathering my shit I'll never stop, and who knows who I'll upset?

Anyway, time to depart this thread before I completely derail it.

The kids' swim coach wore gren hammer pants this morning

Isn't super quick thread derailment worth a badge of honour?

My (former) car would be I think the equivalent of corn soup. Not the most dazzling colour, but solid and reliable and filling.


Penguin doing a headstand.

I thought you said you hated soup?

You can still hate something that's solid, reliable and filling. After a while you may become bored to tears with it and yearn for something that's ephemeral, unpredictable, and always leaves you longing for more.

Why does the entire country insist on jumping in their cars, spending hours and hour in heavy traffic, getting turned away from motels and campgrounds and call all this a "holiday"?

YES!!

And YES again!

I had a pair of MC Hammer pants in black cotton jersey.
I did not identify them as such - they were named for me.
I wore them until they literally fell apart,

If I could get them in my size now (they were a UK Size 10 - I was a skinny chick back then) I'd buy them.

Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em.
Classic.

Gap are reviving the jodphur look...AGAIN.
