Ve Have Vays Of Making You Talk...

Would/Could relentless tickling be considered a form of torture?

Pardon.

If you say, "Excuse me!" after burping, and no one excuses you, what happens?  I mean, are you cursed or something?  Or do you just have to feel bad about being rude?  (Not that I actually feel all that bad... We all do it, for crying out loud!)

I'm Cool With It, But...

How did cottage cheese become a staple of salad bars everywhere?  Don't get me wrong; I love cottage cheese, and I'm glad it's always there.  But... it's not salad, nor is it something I've ever seen anyone put ON a salad.

Cruel, But Not Unusual

Who decided cumulative final exams were a good idea?  It seems more like torture than an accurate way to measure the amount of information learned over a semester...

Yeah, About This Journey... (RQ)

In Lord of the Rings, why didn't they just use one of those big ass eagles to fly the ring into Mt. Doom instead of walking there for 3 years? Seems like a waste of time and resources...

Itsy Bitsy Peanut?

Why do we use the phrase in a nutshell when we're summarizing something?  I mean, I get that nutshells aren't that big, but my explanations, no matter how brief, would probably not fit in a nutshell.  Unless it was a coconut.  Except that's not a nut, is it?  Now I'm confused and hungry.

Flawed Theory

If we (humans, people, whatever you wanna call us) are really the most evolved creatures around, then why am I the one working while my dog gets to lay at home all day?

Happy Earth Day!

Why are some people/places so resistant to recycling?  It seems like a relatively easy thing to do to help save the planet that gives us life...

Never Gonna Give You Up

If you were actually watching the Rick Astley video and it was interrupted by another video, what would that be called?  Unrickrolling?  Maybe rickunrolling?  Or antirickrolling?

A Super Pooper Scooper? (RQ)

Did the Cat in the Hat have a litterbox? Who cleaned it?

Zzzzzz...

Why doesn't nap time extend past Kindergarten?  I think everyone would benefit from a little post-lunch snooze session.

Sleep to Dream (RQ)

Dogs are color blind, right? Do they dream in color?

First Reader Question!

A reader ponders this age old question:

Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Lucky Be A Lady?

Do we really create our own luck?  Or is luck just lucky?  OR, is it a combination?  Or is there no such thing as luck??

I'm Blind!

In honor of my mom (whose birthday was yesterday - happy birthday, Mama!):

How can you see the sign if your eyes are closed?

(I was a child of the 90s and, as such, wound up listening to Ace of Base more than anyone really should.  Whenever I sang, "I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes..." my mother asked, "But how can you see the sign if your eyes are closed?"  "Moooooom, it's just a song!")

Was he?

If Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, then why was it his name?  I think his name should've been Armando. 

Here's a thought...

If there's a hole in the bucket (dear Liza, dear Liza), then why not just get a new one?

It's not like buckets are super pricey, and then we can just skip that whole thing about how to fix it.  I mean, really, it's probably just going to give out again anyway.

Yum?

Why does everything that's so tasty have to be so incredibly bad for me?  Why can't chocolate just be a vegetable, dammit?

Achoo!

Do fish sneeze?  If they do, does it just come out as bubbles?

Let's Begin.

If I'm the only one holding myself back, then why can't I talk myself into doing things I know are good for me?
