Ok, I thought of some questions that are both humorous and serious at the same time... I even spent some time thinking about these...
1) If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?
2) 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?
3) Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
4) Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
5) Why do the signs that say "Slow Children" have a picture of a running child?
Yeah... I read about these awhile back and for some odd reason I thought about them again and got stuck...
1) I came up with 24.31
2) Too expensive?
3) No wonder they charge so much...
4) I see no quality there...
5) Talk about an oxymoron...

Heheheheh the slow children isnt refering to the speed of the childs legs but rather the speed of there mind

They may follow a ball right out in front of a semi truck while a smarter child would reason that they have seen cars trucks and things drive realy fast down that road.... Now here is a good question why is it that a smart person and a dumb person can think of the same thing its just that the smart person thinks of it faster ?

I think the ability to reason things out quickly is "intelligence".

I was thinking the same thing not too long ago. It should be SLOW... CHILDREN but think of how much more money it would cost to add the 3 dots.
2) Is the black box extremely dense?
3) You can never have too much practice...
4) Psychics are frauds.

@1 | Find me one person who actually cares

btw what kind of question is it anyway

@2 | The black box wouldnt be special anymore

@3 | practice makes perfect

@4 | pyschics.......as if people are really fooled by them.
@5 | isnt that sign to do with how fast you drive past

I didnt even notice the black box question no those boxes are made realy strong and what not and yeah they are pretty heavy but the reason they can get the data off of them even in a bad crash is that they made realy strong for impact sealed (they have to be cut open) and they record on wire strand using realy strong magnetic fields like a hard drive only the head stops when there is an impact.... contrary to popular notion they are not indistructable.... they could make planes that tough but it wouldnt make them any safer its like a math problem you make the plane heavy it crashes harder.... so the plane might survive but human anatomy can only withstand something like short bursts of 20-30G's after that your organs pretty much liquify and you go splat. After all we are like 90% water or something.... The best way to make planes safer believe it or not would be to install more sensors and have them flown by mission critical computers...

I think were only 2/3rds water, definitely not 90%!!

90%. At least that's also what I've heard.

lol google for it!!! *runs off to google* hmmm interesting acording to this it can very almost wildly anyway what I got from this is that people are between 40% and 80% water.... lol wild thats alot of variety !

40 to 80%? thanks a lot google, might as well just say between 0 to 100.

0 & 100. Now i would LOVE to see people with those water compositions

So would I, but I'm especially interested in how GTX came to his solution to question #1 : 24.31

I'm just guessing, but it seems like a random number to me

But I can be very wrong

Simple: You take the mathimatical probability of a hen and a half, multipled by the chance of laying an egg and a half in a day and a half, multiplied by the amount of time given (a day and a half), multiplied by the square root of the radius of the egg divided by the constant energy output of light over the varible of the diverse acute effects of water of the egg and multiply that by the amount of seconds it takes to make an egg and you'll get 24.31.

or you just take 1234, mix em up and put a decimal inbetween

But that's the easy way out.
Another question:
6) Why do people go to the top of skyscrapers just to put money in a small telescope just to see things on the gound up close? Why don't they just get on the ground?

I have a great answer on that one : when you go to the top of a skyscraper, the air density will diminuate, that'll give you a great kick, and if you have asthma, you might just suffocate, and all of that while you're just looking at some banal city down there

I think people put money into those things so they can peep into the apartments across the street.... or at least thats what I would probably do LOL

I don't think I'll ever live in a city with telescopes now...

I don't think people'll ever peep on you with their telescopes so no need to be alarmed. I mean, who'd want to see a naked genetically engineered tall hairy hobbit!?

I should post this under my new idea's thread but it kind of goes here where the conversation is. Ohh the pain...... anyway They need to update those things with a nice digital camera inside with a SD slot you could charge like a buck to use it for 1 minute.... I could make a fortune.... and sell SD cards in the loby for exorbitant prices !!! MUHAHAHAHA !!!! lol
