lol, I copied most of it.

[*]Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?
What do you plan to do after you've 'chuted to the water below? Float on your chute?
[*]Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
They don't. Fat chance means the opposite to slim chance, it's just that "fat chance" is almost always used sarcastically - "Yeah, fat chance that'll happen. Not." See?
[*]If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots?
a) You don't, you need proof of age.
b) Got a pushbike handy? Anyways, cars are easier to operate drunk than pushies.
[*]Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?
No. You need a high-powered, automatic, self-aiming weapon. Those suckers are tricky.
[*]Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
You could say that..
[*]If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen?
The cat would split in two along its horizontal axis, the buttered (top) half would invert and land butter-side down, and the bottom half would land on its (considerably bloodied) feet.
[*]If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights?
The beams reach back into the cabin and electrocute you.
[*]You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"?
Take it somewhere else, and hope that by the time you get there, the label has worn off.
[*]Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?
Blind people can drive can't they? I've come across quite a few people who were obviously taught to drive by Stevie Wonder.
[*]Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
We're stoopid.
[*]Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards?
To annoy you.
[*]Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?
Now you're just being silly.
[*]You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?
It's a bit hard to dis/embark through seamwelded lead.
[*]Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
I don't.
[*]Why is it so hard to remember how to spell MNEMONIC?
It isn't.
[*]If someone invented instant water, what would they mix it with?
Instant.
[*]Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?
It's a set of components. Take out the fuses, and you'd have a TV-semi-set.
[*]Why does your nose run and your feet smell?
a) Mine don't.
b) Variety is the spice of life, and your apendages know this.
[*]If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?
Yes.
[*]Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same?
Both actions involving "sitting".
[*]Why is it called a "building" when it is already built?
I call them builts.
[*]Why is there an expiration date on SOUR cream?
It goes tasty.
[*]If you keep trying to prove Murphy's Law, will something keep going wrong?
Yes.
[*]Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?
Cos.
[*]How can someone "draw a blank"?
Like this:
[*]Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Habit.
[*]What is another word for "thesaurus"?
Vocabularybook.
[*]When they ship styrofoam, what do they pack it in?
Precious China plates.
[*]If 75% of all accidents happen within 5 miles of home, why not move 10 miles away?
You'll get injured twice - once 5 miles from home, and once again 5 miles from your new home. Nature knows what you're thinking.
[*]Why doesn't "onomatopoeia" sound like what it is?
It sounds very onomatopoetic to me.
[*]Why do 'tug'boats push their barges?
They (usually) don't. They tug them.
[*]Why do we sing 'Take me out to the ball game', when we are already there?
We're insane.
[*]Why are they called 'stands' when they're made for sitting?
If they were called "sits" they'd probably be very flat and provide poor visibility.
[*]Why is there only ONE Monopolies Commission?
They're showing Microsoft how it's done.
[*]Does a fish get cramps after eating?
Only if they go for a swim. If not, no. They just die.
[*]Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a "near miss"?
Shouldn't it be called a "near hit"?
Near = close. Close miss = just missed. Close hit = just hit.
[*]What does Geronimo say when he jumps out of a plane?
Banzai!
[*]How can there be "self help GROUPS"?
Groups can help themselves.
[*]Why are we afraid of falling? Shouldn't we be afraid of the sudden stop?
You think that if you fell out of a plane (without a chute) you'd be more worried when you hit the ground? Anticipation's the killer. (SLK: *nudge*wink* ;))
[*]Why is it called a bust, when it stops right before the part it is named after?
It isn't named after a chick's rack. It's from the Italain busto - a sculpture.
[*]Why is it called 'after dark', when it is really after light?
Cos it's after the onset of dark(ness).

Got any more?
Yes.

:D pedantic is my 3rd middle name.

They would make the wings bigger thus creating more lift. By the looks of it, I'm not the retarded one here.

For the same reason the word "bed" is short and hard.
And the same reason the word "sex" is short and harsh.

Bluu 14th February 2001 02:52

Hmm, suddenly reminded of Survivor.
"...This is what you'd call the flight recorder of Flight 2039. The black box, people call it, even though it's orange..."

Junklord 14th February 2001 02:59

Someone once said that nothing's impossible, but if that's true then it would be impossible for something to be impossible... if you take may meaning.

ojms 14th February 2001 13:01

Contuary to modern belief the Black boxes on planes are not indestructable, are infact orange, and there are many distributed around the plane (some are back ups and some preform the same function ie copies)

With the cat and the toast thing, i read about an idea where three cats were strapped onto the shaft of a motor and dropped, this caused the shaft to spin and produced a perpetual motion engine.

Obvious, really.

'Aibohphobia' - an irrational fear of palindromes.

RacingCaptain 15th February 2001 12:49

If you were driving at lightspeed, your headlights would still go out in front of you, and if you measured the speed of the light relative to you, it would still be the same. If someone by the side of the road measured the speed of the light coming out your headlights, it would still be the same as normal for them. (3*10^8 m/s)
