Why are all larger life-forms being symmetric?
 
  • #3,012
Hmm, as far as I know, they are not. Want proof? My left ear is just a tad lower than my right ear, and my left foot is just a tad wider than my right foot. Or maybe it's that I'm not considered a larger life being... I am kinda short, so maybe that explains it.

Why are so many recycling bins blue?
 
  • #3,016
Recycling bins are blue so people can see them. The parts of human DNA responsible for red and green color vision are in proximity to one another. In most people with color blindness it is these parts of the DNA that combine incorrectly due to their proximity. Blue color receptors are located in another part of the genome. The government makes recycling bins blue so as many people as possible can see them, and they make traffic lights red and green so less people can see them. It's a conspiracy to clean up the environment and control the population. Save the planet, dude!

How many cops does it take to change a red light?

Huckleberry, if you read over your work, you will notice that you have nearly answered your own question. Red lights do not exist primarily to help drivers, rather they exist to provide an excuse for fining people and thus fund the police department. Thus, as "changing" does not occur at high enough frequencies to provide meaningful data, a question such as this properly belongs in an Independent Research forum (if not in the S&D thread altogether.

Because time's fun when you're havin' flies.

If time flies when we're having fun, then shouldn't we avoid fun as much as possible in order to maximum our time in this life?

No, their size in relation to their aerodynamic properties will not allow it. Which brings up an interesting question; how so Bumbe bees manage to catch the tuna they are famous for?
