Why does the sun lighten our hair, Why can't women put on mascara Why don't you ever see the headline Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, Why is the man who invests all your money Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? When dog food is new and improved tasting, Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? You know that indestructible black box Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments If con is the opposite of pro, |

Isn't there something against insulting administrators here? Interesting stuff. I've seen it all over the web, but it's still interesting to go back and read em. I always wondered why they called it rush hour. Sure, they're in a rush, but it kind of sounds like false advertising -- Swordsmanship's ultimate achievement is the absence of the sword in both hand and heart. The swordsman is at peace with the rest of the world. He vows not to kill and to bring peace to mankind. |

Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin? The color in the hair fade, while your skin builds up new pigments to deal with the increasing UV load. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouths closed? Because they spend most of the time talking, if they did it closed it would look weird! Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Because everyone is rushing home! You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes????? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?! You like scrambled human? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? Because all the flats are apart from the other ones with a wall, and it's not just a big house with people living randomly. If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? No, the word origins are completely different. Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Their coat does, but it's very negligible. |

thats been answered seriously before. it would just make the entire plane too heavy and wouldnt be able to fly. im only correcting that one because its the only one not seriously answered oh, and for the dog one, its obvious because of the way dogs like it more. Edited by: Chunky |

[start smartass mode]
Because of the biological composure of the two seperate materials (flesh, and dead skin cells). More specifically, because Vitamin D affects our skin, but the property of skin cells that accounts for this darkening is lost when the cell "dies".
They can. They choose not to.
Because psychics don't bother with the lottery.
Why is "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" such a long word? Because whoever coined it wanted to make it clear what exactly it meant.
Because the word "practice"'s etymology can be traced to various forms from various Middle & Old English, and Medieval Latin forms, most notably "practisen", "practiser", "practique", and "practica", which all had meanings related to precise labor.
Because lemons contain special properties that make them excellent detergents, while artificial flavors can be manipulated to taste better than the real thing.
Again, it's a matter of etymology.
Because everyone is "rushing" to get home.
Because cat's usually don't eat mice for their flavor. They enjoy the game of catching a mouse, and then enjoying the reward.
No one. Maybe some dogs, but thats not the point. It's a capitalistic marketing scheme to attract thoughtless fools to ambiguous packaging.
I would reply to this, but I don't want to raise a debate on the existence of religious figures such as "Noah".
Because (the airplane would weigh too much to get off the ground. Also, that material is only efficient when very thick, which a plane obviously shouldn't be.
Because wool only shrinks when wet when woven into a fabric. Raw wool itself does not shrink when it rains. Even if it did, the sheep themselves wouldn't shrink.
Again, etymology.
Actually, con isn't the opposite of pro. The prefix "re" is. Despite my apparent smart-ass attitude towards these paradoxes, I actually do find them very intellectually stimulating. We live in a rather contrary, paradoxical world indeed. P.S. This wasn't meant as an insult or assault towards wolfie.. I just couldn't help trying to refute each of those --

Lose points, wrong! People are actually paid to taste dog food in order to decide if it's new and/or improved. This is a job title, it does exist, I know one |
