Questions nobody asks.

There are certain questions that have probably never been asked before.

We wonder about them, but we never ask them. At least, not in such a place and context that we expect an answer.

Then, there are questions that shouldn't be asked. Those are my favorites. :)


Here are some of mine. Feel free to answer them if you know. But as Trinity said, "It's the question that drives us."

Do birds fart?
Does Yoda have a special toilet?
What does Yoda read when he goes?
Did any U.S. President(other than Bill Clinton) ever bring their porn collection to the White House after being elected?
How many people have drowned in bathtubs this year?
How many frequent flier miles did they leave behind?
What's the funniest line in the worst movie you ever saw?
What animal's urine is the tastiest?
What would Brian Boitano do?
Has anyone ever made a donut-flavored bagel? Or a bagel-flavored donut?
Do they eat danishes in Denmark? Is that considered pornographic?
How does Darth Vader pee?
If people catch the Bird Flu, is it still a bird flu?
If we're being watched by interstellar beings, are they enjoying the show?

Why do they have braille on drive up ATM's?

Ooh ooh ... I know this one! It's because when they manufacture the keypads, they don't know if it's going into walk-up kiosks or drive-up machines. So, to be safe, braille is on all of them.

Woo! I R teh smart!

A vehicle can't go at the speed of light.

However, if you have a vehicle going at 0.9c for istance, the lights turn on as usual. The speed of light is the same in all inertial refrence frames.

I've seen loads of dead birds. They tend to disappear after a couple of days though - either removed by countryside management people, or eaten by scavengers.

I don't know if this is true, but apparently they can't. If you feed a pigeon bicarbonate of soda, it reacts with their stomach acid, the gas builds up, and eventually their stomach explodes from the pressure...
As for the others:
Yes. Y'know that swamp by which he lives. That's built up from hundreds of years of his shit and urine.
Books on grammar and sentence structure.
No, mainly as they're not sure if it's a comedy or a drama. In fact, right now on something very similar to an internet forum on Krarg IV bitter arguments are raging over this very fact. It was once believed that the argument had been settled (in favour of comedy), but sadly Richard Nixon is now dead.

Well, I saw this question presented on a show once, but I didn't stick around to here the answer.
If you were to hold a mirror infront of your face, the light reflecting off of your face would reflect off of the mirror and into your eyes, thus you see your face. But, if you travel at the speed of light while holding the mirror, what do you see in the mirror? The light couldn't reflect off your face or the mirror because it can't move faster than you are currently moving. If anyone knows and would like to share, my life would be complete.

If people catch the Bird Flu, is it still a bird flu?

the correct term is Avian Influenza. and the H5** strains are the deadliest, with H5N1 being the worst. As of yet no form has been transmitted through humans, and the total number of deaths in the UK of it is expected to be only slightly larger than that of normal flu, and all appropriate safeguards are currently bein put into force, with such vacines as tamiflu becoming readily available to the government, and stocks of anti-viral drugs also being delivered to doctors. also a pandemic of Avian Influenza is not certainly going to happen, it is expected to, but not until next winter, and evewn then, it may not be on the scale it is predicted to be.

how does she know that? did she sit and count them?


why can't you make Koolaid in a metal container? (it says on the package not to)

if the primary colors are red, blue, and yellow, and you can't make them, then why does my dad's projection tv have red, blue, and green lights? how does it make yellow?

Do birds fart? Dunno. But I do :p *pffft!*
Does Yoda have a special toilet? Just a log behind his cabin.
What does Yoda read when he goes? The usual porn mags with pictures of the beautiful and graceful Lyn Me, Rystáll and Greeata as centerfolds! Or he solves crosswords: Galactic organization with 6 letters, first and last "E"
Did any U.S. President(other than Bill Clinton) ever bring their porn collection to the White House after being elected? I bet Nixon had an awesome collection?
How many people have drowned in bathtubs this year? Dunno. I don't even have a tub...
How many frequent flier miles did they leave behind? Just 2.
What's the funniest line in the worst movie you ever saw? Some HK 1976 Eastern, not sure of the original title... Something like "Swift Shaolin Boxer" or so. The declaration of winners after deadly combat turnament. Hilarious!
What animal's urine is the tastiest? Diabetic Polar Bear after eating a Seal on a sugar high!
What would Brian Boitano do? Go "Look! Frost!" And then get his tongue stuck to his skates!
Has anyone ever made a donut-flavored bagel? Or a bagel-flavored donut? Uhm. No. But I am getting hungry!
Do they eat danishes in Denmark? Is that considered pornographic? They hopefully do. The way I picture it - definitely yes! :D
How does Darth Vader pee? Veeery carefully!
If people catch the Bird Flu, is it still a bird flu? Yes. Although it jumped species the name comes from the original host.
If we're being watched by interstellar beings, are they enjoying the show? Everybody wave! (Now they do ;))

Light travels at a constant speed in all inertial refrence frames, so your reflection would appear the exact same as if you were stationary.
It is also not possible to go the speed of light... with the exception of warp drive, in which case, you don't move at all, the universe moves around you.

Red, green and blue are the colours of light, if you combine them in equal proportions, you get white.
You can mix them together in certain proportions (I can't remember which) to get yellow... it's the way you do it with computers...

Olara']For that matter, why do the civil trial juries in CA seem to be so much smarter than the criminal trial juries?
The criminal juries require a unanimous decision for conviction - they have to rule "beyond a reasonable doubt". If one person doubts, no conviction.

The civil juries rely on a "preponderance" of the evidence. If a couple of jurors don't agree, they are irrelevant to the results.

The symbol comes from Plumbum, like you said, which is Latin for lead. So a plumber is, quite literally, a leadsmith. Pipes in ancient Rome were made of lead.

Didn't take a year of Latin for nothing.;)

PS: Just a sidenote--ianua, or in English writing, janua, means 'door' in Latin. So, a janitor, literally, means 'doorman'...or 'door washer'. Something like that.

It's considered impossible to go the speed of light. However, if it could happen, theories state that light travels the speed of light relative to your speed; so if you were going 1 m/s, the speed of light would be 186,001 m/s instead of 186,000 o_O

I saw this one smurf episode where the old one, papa smurf or whatever, cut his arm on a tree and he bled green.

therefore, unless the blood in his veins is another color then green.

A choked smurf, green will turn.:rolleyes:

Blood is blue in our vains but red when it hits the air so if we judge by that then most likely the Smurfs blood IS a different color in the vains. i'd say yellow just because it is inbetween blue and green. And yet when blue and yellow mix u get grenn so a smurf would still turn green

Ok, knowing that human oxygenated blood is red and deoxygenated blood is a darker red, we can safely assume that smurf blood is merely dark green. However, human veins appear blue on the skin. If we can safely say that every human turns blue when choked regardless of skin color, then we must assume that the blue skin of a smurf does not affect what color the smurf will turn when choked. With that being said, we must determine what color the veins of a smurf would appear to be, despite having green blood.

If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights?
You can't. Time slows down, and at the speed of light, time stands still. There can't be different moments of "headlights on" and "headlights off".

But, for a question... Rare earths are a large group of metals, but only a few of them have serious uses, like the fluorescent dyes for CRT's. They are found together in minerals, so to make a little of the useful metal you'll have to extract a lot of rare earth mixture. What do they do with the useless rare earths?

okay, I have seen this go on too long, the veins aren't blue and neither is the blood.

my theory on why people think they are (blue veins, blue blood) is because of all those anatomy books that code pre-oxygen blood as blue veins and post-oxygen blood as red.

No, it's not. If you're white, when you look at your skin you can see the veins traced in blue (perhaps slightly greenish or purplish). It's the way light works.

Well, I can't contest it, I've never seen anybody choking other than in movies and tv (and seeing myself after choking on food occasionally). I figured there was a reason they always showed choking people going red, as I go red too. Though that might be from coughing to dislodge whatever's causing me to choke and not from the choking per se.

Bluish grey seems more like dead/frozen to death in my imagination.

you turn red first from the force of trying to cough up whatever you choke, as you loose oxygen (from not being able to breathe) you start to turn blue.

Panic accompanies choking. The choking victim's face often assumes an expression of fear or terror. At first the victim may turn purple, the eyes may bulge, and he or she may wheeze or gasp.

If the person can cough freely, has normal skin color and can speak, he or she is not choking. If the cough is more like a gasp and the person is turning blue, he or she is probably choking. If in doubt, ask the choking person if he or she can talk. If the person can speak, then the windpipe is not completely blocked and oxygen is reaching the lungs. If choking is occurring, begin to perform the Heimlich maneuver.

In my case, it was from when I dissected a cat. The major veins were stained blue, which I noticed, but the smaller ones didn't appear to be stained, but still looked blue. I guess they were stained after all.

The skin thing did have some of an effect, but the dissection was more recent than me paying attention to my skin.

It's quite funny actually. Up here Danish is called Wienerbrød and Wiener is a German word.

"Wiener" means "someone/something from Wien", which is what Vienna is called in the Scandinavian languages. Probably in German too, but the point is that Danish danishes aren't German wieners, which would be pornographic, but bread from Vienna, which is Austrian.

9 pages of smurf-blood debate and other silliness. What more could I ask for?

Now, on to a few of my observations:

Why would anybody try to choke a smurf? They're way too tiny. How would you get your hands around their little necks? Nah. Stuff them into a baggie instead. :)

One cannot travel at the speed of light. It may be possible to travel faster than light, however. But it would require infinite energy to accelerate an object to the speed of light. The only workaroud is if one were to alter the speed of light. If the lightspeed barrier, for instance, were shifted one way or the other, it might be possible to travel at the original velocity of light. In such a case, however, light always travels at a subjective speed of light. How can that be explained from an objective viewpoint? Red shift. Which is time dilation's effect on light.

One additional question:

Why don't protective cups come in different sizes? I have unusually large testicles and they never sit comfortably within one.

It's a bad idea to try choking (I nearly put smoking there) a smurf, because it'll repeatedly kick you in the groin.
Another question therefore: Is it a bad idea to try smoking a smurf?

A question often asked is 'How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?'

But one seldom (perhaps, until now, never) asked is 'Why the hell is everyone so interested in wood chucks all of a sudden? Can't we just back the hell off and let the poor guys have their privacy?'

Riddle me that Holmes :D

As much wood as a wood chuck would if a wood chuck would chuck wood ;)

It's because they're scared that people would laugh at them because everyone knows the answers.
Anyway, they are no longer 'questions nobody asks', because they have now been asked.
We will have to come up with more questions, and then not ask them!

Things that have always caused me sleepless nights:

1. If you shove someone out of an airlock into deep space, would they freeze to death or explode first?

2. If you spend alot of time imagining what very loud noises sound like, could you go mentally deaf?

3. If you cut someone in two (vertically) are both sides consious?
3a. If you believe in souls, which half would have the person's soul in it?

How many times does a woman poop per day, and how many woman eat that poop? And how many of those are called Mary, and how many of those have webbed feet? And how many of those also like to bathe in urine and think about cats and dogs living together in perfect harmony with each other and sitting on chairs! And eating the chairs! and when then eat the chairs they fly home to their masters and their masters say "oh my I've never seen anything like it!" and they keel over and die and their wives eat them and then poop them out and then eat the poop! and when they have eaten the poop they poop out the poop and they eat the poop again and it continues forever until they die from poop-relateddiseases.
The Answer is Zero

Things that have always caused me sleepless nights:
1. If you shove someone out of an airlock into deep space, would they freeze to death or explode first?

They would die from oxygen deprivation - as their bodily fluids tried to escape through their lungs. If they were in the darkness of space, they would freeze rather rapidly.

2. If you spend a lot of time imagining what very loud noises sound like, could you go mentally deaf?
Don't know. You try it, and let me know how it comes out.

3. If you cut someone in two (vertically) are both sides consious?
For 10 to 15 seconds, yes.

3a. If you believe in souls, which half would have the person's soul in it?

Both would. Souls can't be cut.

you know I never really thought about that until I got married. My husband was complaining one day about how 'one size fits all' really doesn't work in that situation. So he just doesn't wear one. :( I am really scared to let him play any sports without it too. He claims that he is careful, but I am so scared that he will get hurt. :(

I think a poor fitting cup can be more damaging than none at all. The last thing I want is for the wall of my cup and my pelvic bone to turn my buddy into a 'nut sandwich'. :(

yeah, I guess if the choice is being uncomfortable the whole game, or just protecting your stuff occasionally, I understand his choice to go cupless.

I can only liken it to wearing too small a bra, I would rather go without then to be squished. ;)

I am going to answer every one of these question to the best of my ability...

Do birds fart?
- sure... they poop dont they?

Does Yoda have a special toilet?

What does Yoda read when he goes?
- i'd have to say he reads some kind of top secret jedi document...

- of course... all the presidents are like perverted old men. what do you think?

How many people have drowned in bathtubs this year?
- a lot... seriously. i know its some surprisingly large number...

How many frequent flier miles did they leave behind?
oh im sure that the airlines totally cancelled all their frequent flyer miles as soon as they died... in fact, i bet the airlines sent our secret agents to drown people in their bathtubs so they wouldnt have to give them all their miles...

What's the funniest line in the worst movie you ever saw?
- probably the whole entire napoleon dynamite movie...

What animal's urine is the tastiest?
- well... id say a chicken because everything tastes like chicken

What would Brian Boitano do?
- hes an ice skater right?
Has anyone ever made a donut-flavored bagel? Or a bagel-flavored donut?
- yes, i have. in fact, i patented that idea and i run a bakery that makes millions a year on this inventive concept.

Do they eat danishes in Denmark? Is that considered pornographic?
- definitely... people are real perverted there... porn happening in the streets as people eat their danishes with glee...
How does Darth Vader pee?
- doesnt he have that like giant cup thing on his uniform... i guess he just takes that off and goes
If people catch the Bird Flu, is it still a bird flu?
- yes... because it just used to be between birds then mutated for humans! aaahhhhhhh!!!!! evil killer viruses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the funniest line in the worst movie you ever saw?
Tough one. Probably from 'Robot Monster' - perhaps the worst sci-fi movie ever made, when the 'monster' (who looked suspiciously like a man in a gorilla suit with a diving helmet on his head) threatens a young boy who responds with the classic "Why you nothing but a big bully!" so cheesy, it can't help but make you laugh.

To give you an example of this movie's level, one of the monster's Earth destroying machines was named in the credits as 'The Billion Bubble Blowing machine'. Yep, that's right. The makers of this turkey thought a machine that made bubbles was sufficiently futuristic and ominious enough to warrant a major part in this movie.

Question of relative motion. With regard to the car, it's doing 4mph. With regard to the world, it's doing 32. But remember: we don't know where the chain of relative motion stops. Relative to the sun, the fly is traveling at thousands of miles an hour, and relative to the center of the universe, many millions of miles an hour!
