  • Why is it?
     OP - July 29, 2009, 06:54 PM
    Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

    Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours?

    Are there specially reserved parking spaces for 'normal' people at the Special Olympics?

    If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

    Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

    If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

    Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

    How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

    Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

    Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? - Because most people go snack hunting in the night time for something easy, not something cookable, ergo they need light in the fridge but not the freezer.

    How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? - because human beings are too smart, and prefer to dive to bigger more important discoveries rather than focusing on silly things, like wheels on luggage.  Tongue

    Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? - because some people actually eat toast that burnt, ask pregnant women.

    Only ones I could think of.

    When the phrase is used in discussion then presumeably it must mean twice as cold as in double the amount of degrees the temperature outside is from your body temperature, today. So if the temperature outside today is zero and the temperature of your body is 37.5 degrees celsius, then if tomorrow it is going to be twice as cold then the temperature is going to be -37.5 degrees celsius. That's the only way I can make sense of it. But objectively, cold is simply less heat, so twice as cold must mean half as hot, which means that if it is zero degrees today then tomorrow it is going to be -136.575 degrees celsius (LOL) because the lowest physically possible temperature is -273.15 degrees celsius.

    I'm so glad you asked this question. Whenever I want to use the toaster I always find the setting on the highest possible, so Ferrero is the person you want to ask this question to! I'll get her to answer it lol.

    I found myself the other day for some reason thinking that nothing out of a freezer can be eaten straight away. Then when I thought about it... Ice Cream!

    If we didn't have nose hair, we would be sneezing constantly because of all the crap going up there.

    You didn't see the Beavis and Butthead episode where they were talking about this video? One of the funniest video commentaries they ever did. First Beavis gets really excited by Sagat saying "Funk Dat" and the little kid stomping on the flyer guy's foot-- "Yeah, yeah! Funk Dat!" Then Butthead compares Sagat to Andy Rooney and Beavis does an Andy Rooney impression-- "Why do they call it taking a dump? You aren't taking it anywhere-- they should call it leaving a dump"
