Pointless questions you ask yourself for no apparent reason

BlitzKrieg · 14-06-2007 06:55AM #1

So at work yesterday (or was it the day before? meh) and I get one of thos random thoughts in my head. A query of the most pointless sort. But your mind asks them anyway.

I now have two really stupid questions stuck in my head.

1. If I was to take into account every bit of pork ham sausage and every other pig based product I have eaten in my lifetime, How many average sized pigs have I eaten in my lifetime? (I think the answer is close to 66)

2. If Sky one and E4 were to on the same day go back to the first episode of both the simpsons and Friends and play both series out fully (excluding new simpsons episodes) who would finish first? (I assumed at first Friends, but E4 only show 2 episodes a day, while Sky one shows close to 6 if not more episodes of simpsons a day.)

So what are those stupid questions and query's that pop into your head?

Like why did I open this thread

Seriously tho that pork one is a good question, given the amount of actual pork in sausages I'd say its a lot lss than 66 pigs, however we'll need to know the variables,

how old are you
on average how much Pork/Ham/Bacon product do you consume in week (outline please)
would you count smokeybacon crisps , does black pudding *o*** as itcontains pig blood (which I believe to be an integral part of any Pig)

Actualy - damm you and your silly questions you've got me going now!

half a pig (Hanging weight 78 Lbs) Gives

----
13 Pork chops 1" - total of 23 pork chops, 7 packs of 2 + 3 packs of 3
3 Spare Ribs - Ask for my mother's recipe if you need one
9 Hamburger/Sausage ground meat in 1 lb packages
15 Fresh Ham - easily brined or sent for smoking
8 Fresh Bacon Slab - brine & slice or send for smoking
10 Shoulder Roast
4 Butt Pork Roast
5 Stew Bones - good for dogs if you don't make soup or stew
8 Fat - you can render this or feed it to dogs or chickens

Reminds me of the episode of Robot Chicken where the guy goes to heaven and his given the book of his life and he becomes obsessed with asking how much poop he's done in his life.

This ones been the cause of pub arguments with over a year now -
If a horse and a dolphin were to compete in a race over a one mile stretch, the horse on a grass bank and the dolphin in a canal beside the bank (assuming that the canal is large enough to accomadate the dolphins movements easily and that the grass bank is completely flat and both are free of obstructions). Which would be the fastest ?

Theres plenty more, ill post if I think of any.

I'm backing the dolphin BTW

Mahatma coat · 14-06-2007 08:52AM

I'd back the horse if it was a Steeplechase

I dropped a load the size of a Hippo's leg in Kiely's of Donnybrook last Tuesday.

Where would it be now????

Off the coast of Lambay?

Down in Ringsend?

Still in the treatment centre?

Still in the pipes on the way to the sludge farm?

I always wonder where it all goes

Why does petrol be deadly and smell so lovely at the same time?

How long would your nails grow if you never cut them in your life (Say 80 years.)

How litres of sweat comes out of ya.

Bah, bloody thread has got me pondering now!!

A thought popped into my head last night whilst sitting in the sitting room with my female flatmate..."is it weird being in bed with blokes when their legs are so hairy?". She just said no and we went back to our laptops. Weird.

What does blue taste like - I always wondered that one.

Also what are blind peoples dreams like.

L31mr0d · 14-06-2007 12:35PM

lol... on the way to work every morning I pass through this unused carpark and theres this used condom on the ground beside the kerb that I have to step over everyday, nobody comes here to sweep the road, the car parks surrounded by trees and walls so there is little wind and not many people walk through here, so how long will it take for this condom to rot into non existence before I don't have to step over it anymore. Its been there for 4 months now.

Also, where do all the fallen leaves go? Its not like one day you see a load of leaf dust flying around, one day they are brown and crusty, the next day they are just gone.

Oooh...you've got me wondering about the blind peoples dreams!

How many times have you blinked since you were born. The answer is there you just have to find it.

blahhh · 14-06-2007 01:04PM

do we all see colours the same.....or is my blue someone else's orange or something...?

What language do deaf people think in? .....sign language?

Can I one day keep my eyes open while sneezing?

What would the coyote do if he actually caught Roadrunner???

Duggy747 · 14-06-2007 01:10PM

Are gay guys turned on by their own willy?

Seriously though that blind dream one is good.

Whats the point of using a dishwasher when you have to rinse the dishes first before you put them in, you've them almost clean by then.

Who came up with the bright idea of: "The next thing that comes out of that chicken's ass I'm gonna eat it!"

or :"I'll drink that white stuff that comes out of one of the cow's 6 willies!"

Do some of the bigger budget porn movie scripts have the sex scene dialogue written into them or do they just go -
Person 1 : Blah Blah
** Raunchy Sex Scene **
Person 2 : Blah

If it takes a man a week to walk a fortnight, how many apples are in a barrel of grapes?

How about having that dump maybe 200 years ago.

It makes one wonder would we be comfy havin craps in the middle of a forest with nothing to wipe your arse except the nearest and biggest leaf or with your own hand? :eek:

Who put us here on earth?

Other than God as an answer, who created earth, who created the universe?

Where did the universe come from, via God?...or who created God then?

To sum up, how da fluk did we end up here on this planet and not a different planet?

Steve_o · 14-06-2007 02:19PM

If you had x-ray glasses and could see through anything, would you then technically see through everything and actually see nothing???

animals off the road. prob each local authority something similar.
