While watching TV, that is of course when I have my best toughts. So i Typed some down just to share them with you.




Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing?
Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?
Why doesn't "onomatopoeia" sound like what it is?
Why don't you ever see baby pigeons?
Why is a women's prison called a penal colony?
Why is it called a "building" when it is already built?
Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?
Why is it called 'after dark', when it is really after light?
Why is it so hard to remember how to spell MNEMONIC?
Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a "near miss"?
Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same?
Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?
Why is the word "abbreviate" so long?
Why is there only ONE Monopolies Commission?
Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards?
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?
If Pringles are "so good that once you pop, you can't stop" why do they come with a resealable lid?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
If Wile Coyote had enough money for all that Acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

Is there a certain temperature at which it stops being qualified as cold? At what temperature does it qualify as hot?
If you were a pastor, and you were getting married, would you hire a pastor, or would you do the wedding yourself?


If a person suffered from amnesia and then was cured would they remember
that they forgot?
If you died with braces on would they take them off?
Why do mattresses have designs on them when they're always covered with sheets?

If conjoined twins participate in sports, do they count as one or two players?
Why is shampoo clear but conditioner not?
Do cows have calf muscles?

Aren't you tired of people asking you rhetorical questions and you don't know if they are rhetorical questions or not?
Why do they call it taking a dump? Shouldn't it be leaving a dump?
Where in the nursery rhyme does it say humpty dumpty is an egg?


Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If The Flintstones were B.C. and before America, why did they have Flintstones Thanksgiving and Flintstones Christmas?
If a Man is talking in the forest and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?
Why is it that when a person tells you there's over a million stars in the universe you believe them, but if someone tells you there's wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?

Oh my gosh! Those are hilarious but so true. Also I feel that those are high moment thoughts. We're you smoking? ;)

Lol, oh my goodness...I'm mad at you for having time to think of all those questions. Oh and yes, the man in the forest would still be wrong:)
