Random Questions

GuingesRock · Post by **GuingesRock** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 7:07 pm

In honour of Bluenose's random thoughts thread (I like that idea) I thought I'd start a random question thread to go with it.

Can't think of anything just now apart from why did the chicken cross the road?

...probably going to the pub.

I respectfully object to this thread! Afterall, my first random thought was a question, rhetorical though it might be

Oh shit! Sorry. Thread closed. Would you consider editing your thread title to random thoughts and questions?

Here's mine:

Why don't things fall up when you drop them?

in hindsight, perhaps my previous objection was premature... your thread is specifically for random questions whilst my thread was for random thoughts

your thread is the socratic philosophy to my thread's verbal diarrhea

carry on my wayward son

You came up with the original idea.

What's the third hand on a watch called?

GuingesRock · Post by **GuingesRock** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:53 am

...The "second hand". Took me ages to get that.

Why is the second hand given tertiary status?

The chicken is crossing the road because of all the attention she gets. They love attention, that's why they squawk and cackle. And Ralph want's to take that all away from the chicken? what would the chicken's life be like after that? just laying eggs I suppose. Then she'd be crossing the road to try to get run over.

Boil over - why is my pot so small?

Or is my brew too big - forest/trees, chicken/eggs, chicken crossing the road? Who knows.

Ok all you engineers... What's the metric conversion for a 'shit tonne'?

1 shit ton/tonne == 264.2 gallons

Is it a metric shit tonne or imperial shit tonne?

Seems legit.

I always assumed one shit tonne was equal to 3.14159 ass loads.....I stand corrected.

I think the the correct question would be: "is it a long ton or a short ton?"

My marine semester students determined that we caught a metric shit ton of sea cucumbers when we were bottom trawling in the Bay of Fundy, so now I know that there are 523 sea cucumbers in a metric shit ton.

why are they called 'apartments' when they're all together?

why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways?
