    1. At the cinema which arm rest is yours?
    2. Why are there no 'B' batteries?
    3. If man evolved from monkeys, how come we still have monkeys?
    4. How do you handcuff a one-armed man?
    5. If you are bald, what hair color do they put on your driver's license?
    6. Why do they call the little bars "fun sizes". Wouldn't it be more fun to eat a big one?
    7. Why is the Lone Ranger called 'Lone' if he always has his Indian friend Tonto with him?
    8. Why do people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every few hours?
    9. Do prison buses have emergency exits?
    10. Why is it called a funny bone, when if you hit it, it's not funny at all?


    Sometimes I do not sleep well at all.

    1. The arm rest on your right hand side, if you are left handed you need to sit on the first seat on a right hand row.
    2. It would be too confusing since the first letter in batteries is also B.
    3. Did we really evolve from monkeys?
    4. Hand cuff him to his opposite leg.
    5. N/A
    6. Small ones are big enough for kids, we dont want to be influencing obesity.
    7. They are not real friends, just facebook friends.
    8. Some babies sleep very well.
    9. Yes they do
    10. Its funny when you tittle it.

    I have one more question, can atheists get insurance for an act of God?

    Can anyone?

    I remember Billy Connolly was in a movie about this, didn't watch it though.

    They are shy.

    Plenty of bird porn on Youtube though if you want to look it up.

    Its called a funny bone because the bone that runs from your shoulder to your elbow is the humerus bone.

    If I got two able-bodied, healthy 30 year old tee-total non-smokers with no underlying health problems, and put the brain of a 60 year old in one and the heart of a 60 year old in the other, who would survive the longest?

    Have genuinely pondered that question for years.

    It's not something I wish to see particularly, but it strikes me as odd that we see many of them every day, yet never see them mate. I've seen dogs mate, cats mate, flies mate, but birds - never. Where do they do it?

    What questions trouble your mind that don't seem to weigh on the minds of others?

    I sometimes wonder if parents of twins (who are too young to know their own names) get them mixed up and can't figure out which is which permanently.
    Imagine they're giving them their first bath in the sink or whatever. They take off their clothes, wash them, then suddenly realise that they're left with two identical, naked babies. How would they know which one was little Johnny and which was little Timmy?
    But most importantly, would it matter? The babies wouldn't know their names yet, so it wouldn't really affect them. Moreover, could you then basically just raise identical twins for about a year or so and not give a damn about which is which, as it doesn't really matter?

    Why does everyone say "liquorish?"

    What do wild animals do with their time? I know they hunt and graze and such, but there's still a lot of time left in the day. Do they just stand or sit around all day? That'd be terrible, even if they're not aware of how bored they should be.
    I mean, what does a frog do all day? Does it just sit around in the mud staring in front of it, or does it sometimes decide to go for a hop?

    Liquorice? I can't think of all of the things I think about and wonder if anyone else ever thinks about, just now. I will probably remember them by the time this thread closes :(

    Sir Arther Daley, you are my new hero. I knew there had to be a reasonable explanation somewhere, but on No. 8. Some babies sleep very well, why have I not met them?

    Sometimes I wonder about that girl and if things were different what could have been. I should have asked her stay. But she's gone away.

    seen two at it today,

    on another note, can you be done for littering when you throw something like an apple into a field?, with it being organic, but will probably be eaten long before it breaks down anyway

    And why arent there more apple trees around seeing as most people do throw apple cricks away?

    Why do people arrive late for the cinema at all? They obviously want to see the film as they've paid quite a bit to do so. Why miss the start?
    I can't get my head round regular cinemagoers who only arrive at the cinema at the time the film's due to start on a busy weekend night, then buy their tickets and food. It's like every time they go is their first time and they haven't figured out how it works yet.
    They're the worst people ever, especially if you're waiting for them to show up to watch a film with them.

    I really don't understand it, especially after paying, and today so many people left when they thought the film was coming to an end, but there was something really significant that happened during/after the credits that really changed the outcome of the film, so they really missed out.

    If it's something that's going to affect other people like a one on one meeting then I definitely amn't late, but there's this one prick in my class right now who is forever late, every single class, he's says it's because he doesn't believe in wasting his time and if he is there before the lecture even starts then he views that as a waste of his time :confused: But he doesn't even try to be on time or slightly late, it's always so late and then he makes the noisiest entrance ever and it's so distracting yet no one ever says anything to him >.<
