All I have to say is Bowling Ball Polishers.

Broken glass. Bowling alley vandalism is part of a thriving urban economy.

To help keep the evil fairies from possessing your mind. All occultists know that evil fairies are attracted to facial hair.

If a bear runs out of toilet paper, what does he use once he has crapped in the woods?
 
The bear doesn't use anything, instead he goes over to Goldilock's house and sits on all of the chairs before deciding on a chair that he likes.

Why does toilet paper come in rolls?

Cos if it came in sandwiches, it would cost a lot more. Plus sliced bread doesn't feel quite as nice as a floury bap.

Why didnt the bears just bust Goldilocks for tresspassing, surely that is morally right in modern society?

Papa Bear thought tresspassing was too harsh, Mama Bear thought it was too soft...
Why do they call it tresspassing when the problem isn't passing it's tressstaying?

I believe the real problem is finding the defining moment between passing and staying. It only takes an instant to pass, but it takes slightly more than an instant to stay. Tresstayantial calulus is a branch of mathematics devoted entirely to this problem. However, few people study Tresstayantial calulus (T.C.) anymore because so many of it's proofs can only be accurately demonstrated with the use of a three-dimensional abacus, and by hopping up and down on one leg shouting "a-hoy! hoy! hoy! hoy!" Few advanced students ever committed to the rigors of the proofs of the subject and failed to give deliver convincing dissertations, falling victim to a similar kind of stifling shame one feels when ordering the rooty-tooty-fresh-and-fruity breakfast at IHOP.

So many people are working on a Theory of Everything these days. How come someone isn't working on a Theory of Nothing?

And I do have a question: What is the reason that people like cheese?
 
Because it has just as many vowels as consonants.

The direction you rotate when the current passes through our tongue.

If there was no such thing as fuses your wiring would be made out of one solid reliable piece of wire, and you would never have the joy of being stranded in the middle of the desert at 3AM trying to use a Wrigley's Gum wrapper to bridge the gap to start your motor.

Is the popularity of Everybody Loves Raymond a manifestation of a quantum mechanical paradox?

No since that is just an arbitrary name given the show, and its popularity is independent of its name. Realistically, some people out there do infact love the show, so that just means: NOT everybody loves "everybody loves raymond"


If i produced a device which negated the effect of the Earth's gravity on a particular object, it would initially remain stationary relative to the Earth and us, as it would possesses the velocity of the Earth at the moment the device was activated, but since the Earth is spinning on its axis and following a circular orbit around the sun, wouldn't the object (relative to us) start 'flying away' ??
(assuming air resistance is negligible...but if it wasnt negligible and the Earth was moving in a straight line, without spinning, wouldn't the object appear to accelerate as it experienced the resistive forces of the atmosphere? (since it is no longer anchored by gravity?)
...you know i thought this was trying to do a dumb question, but i think i got too into it...
anyway just incase here's a dumb(er) question: would an object approaching the speed of light, as its mass appoached infinty, produce a gravitational field in proportion to its increasing mass??
 
You are a prisoner in your mind, it is making you think gravity exists. Humans just made it up because we want to climb out of the pit the Earth actually is.

Hmm... probably during mating season. They got to share some body warmth through kinetic energy transfer :biggrin:. Sometimes Igloos just aren't enough.

Is it acceptable in Spanish to combine words such as autobus (bus) or buscar (to find) into one word such as autobuscar (to find/search a bus)? Te autobuscas?
 
[I was doing this all wrong! let me try again...]

Only in the secret organisations, where they link certain words to produce new words, which give the instructions to carry out their next task.
for exaple, your examlpe, gives the command, to go find a bus. (but the real question is...for WHAT?...)

Why do men have nipples?
 
They are a defense mechanism, fooling an attacking avian into thinking it is attacking something bigger. One of the few direct links to our 83rd closest relative the Luna Moth.

I was going for my foursies when a small dog stole my ball. Do I have to start all over with my onsies or can I just kill the dog?
 
Hmmm you said it was a small dog, just take it back. Hurting it solves nothing, though do make aggressive gestures and sounds to make sure he never does it again. If the small dog in question was a genetically enhanced fox terrier, just start with the onsies again and forget about my secret project...i mean "WATCHOUT! A BIRD! QUICK SHOW THEM YOUR NIPPLES!" (if you are a guy ofcourse)


who or what is our 97th closest relative?

Because there is no point in looking backwards to yesterday.

How can elephants hide in a refridgerator?
 
Not very well. the footprints in the butter always seem to give them away.

Would taping a cat to a slice of buttered toast be an effective solution to the worlds energy problems, or would there be problems? (working on the pinciple that a cat always lands on its feet, buttered toast always lands buttered side down, so the two together would result in a perpetual spinning motion as the two fight it out)
 
Doesn't work, cat dies everytime I put the bread in the toaster.
