    Well? Why?! Before a load of experts tell me, let's have this thread for sharing any other little mysteries you wonder about?

    I'll start us off with two more.

    If Buzz Lightyear thinks he isn't a toy, why does he stop moving when humans are around?

    Why does everyone think Humpty Dumpty is an egg?!

    Because he thinks he's on a different planet. When he sees the huge humans he's instinctively freezes and plays dead.

    Just because it doesn't start with a Daily Mail link or something about public service pay, why would it be locked?

    Must be very sombre lock-ins you lads partake in!

    Humpty Dumpty thing has something to do with Richard 3rd falling off his horse in battle and being trampled to pieces. Doesn't it? I don't know.

    Got it's name because people used to give them in exchange for cash to buy drugs or just in exchange for drugs (blow).

    This is where it originates, nothing to do with the action itself.

    The Buzz Lightyear thing - It's clearly because even if he doesn't know he's a toy, he still is a toy, so he acts like one - It's instinctive.
