NationStates Jolt Archive

This is where we can all ask those nagging questions that we always wanted to know the answers to, but could never find out.
I also hope that someone on Nationstates can answer these questions!

I’ll start. How come no matter how careful you fold up some wire (Like headphones) they always become tangled up when you come to use them?

Because of something you did to anger God.

I always wondered if that was the case. Or maybe it is just one of nature's mysteries?

How come every time i deliver a pizza to an apartment complex, the one i need is always at the top of the stairs?

Because life hates you.

How come women are repulsed by my presence? I don't smell, I don't look too ugly, and i'm a nice guy-WHY? :mad:

When a conductive material has a current passed through it, the atoms in it become over-excited. This causes the molocules the move around, with the tiny magnetic field created by the low-voltage current in such things as head phone wires, the molocules are attracted in towards the current but not enough to 'stick' in place. This causes them to tend to take a certain shape but still able to move freeely. When left at rest, however, they will return to this shape naturally. The tangling you get is from the molocules of the wires being arranged in a form different to this state and as the molocules 'settle' back to this shape, tangling occurs as though you had shook the bundled wires around.

Thank you very much.

OR on a more practical front. The internal cables are twisted around each other so the whole thing wants to twist to follow them.

That's cos i'm wearing boxers. Anyway, they can't see them under my trousers...

I think Bogstonia is American, and may have meant 'Trousers'

Aww what a shame...

I stand by what I said.

Oh ok, I just made that up.

Australian actually but yes, I did mean trousers.

TIN, I know you like to 'go bottomless', don't deny it.

Nah-I'll get my PR Expert to deny it for me.

"I assure you, my client does not like to, as you put it 'go bottomless'. This is a fabrication to cover up your own secret love of eating horse manure."

What really happens is they break and because you didnt ask for the God of the Forrests permission to chop down the trees to make your canoe the pixies rebuild the tree so you have to chop it down again!

How come if something 'goes without saying' people always say it anyway?

Now I definitely need the stuff halrsburg is on!

Because no one lives in the lower floors. Every single friend of mine lives in either the uppermost floor or one beneath that if the house is large. Ever noticed that the bell signs of those lower floor people have really uninspired names? Because they are not real persons, but phantoms the landlord uses to keep up the high rent for the upper floors.

Why do advertisers use puppies in toilet paper comercials? Did people first domesticate dogs so that the dog could lick them clean? If so, isn't it unhygenic of the toilet paper conglomerates to perpetuate the myth of 'doggy freshness?'

How come things are always in the very last place you look?


P.S. If you really had to think about that... you're stupid (in the nicest possible way).

I know, you go into the store to get some toilet paper and there are puppies everywhere!

Also, if you can be 'disgruntled', can you be 'gruntled'?

can you have manslaughter without laughter?

How come you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? :D

Why, when you say you have lost something, do people always ask: "Where did you lose it?"

Maybe they think that by asking the dumbest question ever conceived of, the sheer shock of their total idiocy will cause you to just not care anymore and die?

I think that there is only one explanation for most of these problems: Murphy's law! Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong... :(
