Pondering the imponderables

Feeling a bit Carlinesque tonight?

Why can Goofy stand erect and Pluto is on all fours when they are both dogs?

Because Goofy RULES!

Why doesn't the hair on your arms grow as fast as the hair on your head?

All hair grows at the same rate however it will not grow past its genetic determinant.

If you only have one eye, are you blinking or winking?

Winking is voluntary. Blinking is involuntary. The number of eyes doesn't play a part.

Why is it called "after dark" when it is really "after light"?

Not sure, but I always thought it was short for "after darkness falls."

If semi means half - why do they call them "semi-trucks"?

Just another guess, but the cab is separated from the trailer/bed. It may have to do with the fact that for all intents and purposes it is cut in half.
 
I'll make each question a seperate post so it will be easier to reply and give comment on.

Can you cry underwater?

Yes, but you wouldn't be able to distinguish the tears from the water.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

The cheese overflow has to go someplace.

Do the alphabet and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

~hums with sis~ yep, would said so

If corn oil is made from corn and vegatble oil is made from vegatalbes - what is baby oil made of?

:eek: i don't even want to know the answer to that one...lol
 
Share it with the rest of us?
good one!
Yeah right. So, others can eat it, but not me? That is stupid.

FYI, in french, the saying goes "On ne peut pas avoir le beurre et l'argent du beurre". Translation: You can't have your butter and the money from the butter. Which makes much more sense: either you keep the butter you made and eat it, or you sell it and make money out of it. But you can't have both.

(this one ought to be fun) :D

Pluto is missing a couple of chromosomes, hence he also can't talk, does not wear clothes, eats off the floor, and is generally severely retarded.

Or he could be possessed :rolleyes:

It also turns out he is not a planet.

If corn oil is made from corn and vegatble oil is made from vegatalbes - what is baby oil made of?

Babys, duh, thats why it makes you feel soft and snugly.

and what the hell is corn oil?
 
If you flog with a flogger why shouldn't you cane with a caner?

And whip with a whipper... and if it snaps, then you're a whippersnapper, but why is that term used for young'uns when folks that wield whips are usually older?

And how many imponderables is that?

Also, if the world is getting smaller, why does the price of stamps keep going up?
 
I like the one about why does Mickey Mouse have pants and no shirt, and Donald Duck have a shirt and no pants....

Pondered that one for a while.

Come to any conclusions?

I'd say ducks have feathers, so Donald's not really naked, the shirt is just a display of his poor taste. And Mickey Mouse probably have pants on because noone can draw a naked standing rats ass good.
 
Why do dogs hate when you blow in their faces but stick their heads out the window during a car ride?

I think it has something to do with dominance. Dogs, like everyone else don't like to have someone or something forcing control over them. By blowing in their faces, it shows that you're more powerful than they are and they just don't like that way of showing it. It could also have something to do with how your breath interferes with all of the other smells they are taking in and throws off their senses, but when they stick their heads out of a window they're just taking in more scents that are brought naturally.

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Some of it does. It also depends on the type of container used, and I'm sure most containers have been treated to be resistant to drying up and adhering to all of the glue.

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

I don't. I drive on the autobahn. :D And park on the curb. But that's just me... probably because when you really think about them, many words joint words don't even make that much sense.
