    Trivial matters that really need no explanation / have no explantion but that you'd like an answer to nonetheless.


    Mine would be:


    How is it that pasta, even though it's from the same maker and has the exact same ingredients tastes differently just because it's in a different shape? (i.e spaghetti vs fusili)

    Why does the word 'Dictionary' appear in The Dictionary - if you knew what it meant you wouldn't have to look it up, if you didn't, you wouldn't know were to look it up.

    Friend - "Oh did you buy anything nice?"
    Me - "No, I decided to buy the shops out of all their disgusting stuff"

    Spiders produce two kinds of silk - a sticky kind and a non-sticky kind. When a spider walks on its web, it walks only on the nonsticky strands.

    This is the triangular sandwich conundrum - they taste nicer, FACT!

    Apparently, not every strand of a spiders web is sticky. The spider knows which ones are sticky and which ones are not so it simply chooses the non-sticky path.

    Did he take a lunch break? How many hours did he do? Was he paid for overtime? Did he receive the minimum wage?

    they walk on their webs with claw-like features at the tips of their legs that are lubricated, rendering them impervious to becoming trapped while walking on their webs.

    Not really, it's merely an attempt from the listener to narrow down the vicinity where the item was lost in the hope they can offer some help, they're not actually asking where it is, nobody is that stupid. :rolleyes:

    E.g
    "Where did you lose it?"
    "I lost it in the zoo"
    "oh I know a guy mark that works in lost and found at the zoo, I'll give him a call"
    "cheers"

    Oh and it's lose, LOSE!
