Why is the sky Blue

It is a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering, basically the particles in the air polarize and scatter the light coming from the sun allowing the eye to only see a certain area of the spectrum of light.

Why is a steak called a steak

It comes from the Norse word steik meaning "roast."

Why do people honk while behind you even though traffic is stopped

Normally because of a version of Narcissism, usually very slight that gives every person a level of inability to empathize. No one is ever able to "put themselves in someone else's shoes," but in this case, it is usually because the people in the cars behind think that they know better or would acted differently in the same situation or fail to realize what else may be going on to keep the person from going. At this point, they honk either out of anger or "trying to help" which is normally a more personal reason or simply frustration.

what makes a great drink when all alcohol will do the job

I don't think there's a real answer, but I think that it is all about the proportions and mixers....personally, I love the alcohol, but I also love a good, well mixed drink.

If all fat people was skinney would skinney people get skinnier

Good question - But there would simply need to be something else to "stratify" society. Look at sizes in General, over the last 50 years, what used to be a size 6 is now a size 12, people have gradually gotten smaller and it is more acceptable. It used to be considered disgusting to be too skinny. But as everyone gets more skinny, those who are already on the lower end of the spectrum, will need a new way to stand out.

If your wife cheats and you cheat whos fault is it really

Wow - that's deep. I say that it is almost always a touch of both. The one who cheated because they can't control themselves and the other because anyone who cheats either has deep seated personal issues or isn't being fulfilled in their relationship - but then....they should have communicated better.

Childern play and then get made because they are tired

Well that's just kids!

People work so they can have money but have no time to spend it

I hate that! Especially that you have to work until you're 65, then you have the money, but you're too old to do the things that you really want to do. URGH!



Sorry, I'm an engineer - there has to be an answer for everything in my world!

Why is the sky Blue

The short answer? Atmosphere and light waves.

Why is a steak called a steak

The word coms from Middle English "steike", which in turn comes from Old Norse "steik" from the base word "steikja", a verb "to roast on a spit."

Why do people honk while behind you even though traffic is stopped

Frustration and not thinking things through.

what makes a great drink when all alcohol will do the job

Flavor.

If all fat people was skinney would skinney people get skinnier

Nope. There would just be more hot chicks and competition for those hot chicks.

If your wife cheats and you cheat whos fault is it really

The wife's fault for cheating on you and the your fault for cheating on her.

Personal responsibility for our actions is something we should all take. Now, our partner can make things easier on us or harder on us. Being a flat slob or refusing sex, for example, definately make things harder on the other spouse. But it is still no excuse, really.

Childern play and then get made because they are tired

I think adults also get short-tempered when they are tired. I know I do.

People work so they can have money but have no time to spend it

Yep. That's just sad. They should send all the money they don't have time to spend to ME as I don't have enough money because I decided long ago that I didn't want to spend all my time working and have no time to spend money.

Now I don't have enough money to spend with my free time ... AND I still don't have enough free time. Too busy making money just to make ends meet.

:sigh:

Why is the sky Blue
>> because blue was in fashion in them days

Why is a steak called a steak
>> because if it was called a fish it'd be entirely the wrong colour.

Why do people honk while behind you even though traffic is stopped
>> It's a form of ciphered language used by the criminally stressed. Also, every honk does in fact edge the vehicle slightly further forward.

what makes a great drink when all alcohol will do the job
>> One that does the job and then expunges itself before anyone finds out. Vodka's lack of odour can be a plus

If all fat people was skinney would skinney people get skinnier
>> the laws of thermodynamics suggest that if all the world's larger folk got smaller then smaller folk would in fact become red giants.

If your wife cheats and you cheat whos fault is it really
>> Personally, I blame the government.

Childern play and then get made because they are tired
>> Or is it the adults that get mad because they can't keep up, and blame it on the kids being tired?

People work so they can have money but have no time to spend it
>> Here, here! Can I retire and come live in your Bel-Air mansion??

Do I get a prize???

People complain when it is winter and cold then summer comes and then they complain about it being to hot.

Well, yea! It's too damn cold in the winter and too damn hot in the summer!

Spring here sucks, too. Temperatures are about right but it is raining all the time.

Fall ain't no better: temperatures are great and it doesn't rain quite so much but winter is just around the corner! Shortening days are depressing.

Brothers and sister fight like cats and dog so when cats and dogs fight are they like brothers and sisters?

Nope. They don't run and tell mom and dad.

Milk is dairy but yeat it is processed for the good of people why?

Milk is Good Food. Goes great with cookies and other baked goods. And cold cereal.

if the egg was first then how can that be, don't we need a chicken and roster before the egg.

Creator created animals and they then reproduced. Hence, chicken (and rooster) came first. Shut up, Darwinists. Evolve THIS (insert obscene gesture HERE).

Pregnancy is nine months or they say but it is actually 10 so why call it nine

Women. They are in charge of pregnancy stuff. But then, it's probably men's fault. We keep telling them that 6 inches is 12.

Pizza is from Asia but yet Italy is known for it why

For the exact same reason spaghetti is from China but Italy gets the credit: The Pope.

California is sinking but yet people live on the beach

Have you BEEN to a California beach? Wish I could afford some of that "sinking" property.

Where does your lap go when you stand up?

Vertical.

 

[terryl965]

If six inches is nine then nine is is a horse

If god created everyone the same where is my millions

If a man says shut up to a woman it is wrong, if a woman says shut up to a man it is consider a great thing

when you get a haircut why is it always wet

If a job does not like you, you can be fired but if you don't like the job you are suck

If men are always wrong then why create women

If women are also right then why have man

if the sky is falling what happens to the clouds

HUSH! Too many question! Silence! Horse riding stance, two minutes!!

 

[zDom]

DEEP horse riding stance! Start two minutes over!

 

[terryl965]

That brings up some more points

Why is it called a horse stance, we are not on all fours

if we train to fight how come we never fight

why is a kick to the head consider dangaress but on to the solar plex is not

a broken rib is ok but a broken finger is more painful

You train I train we all train so why does everbody not train

red brings out anger so blue brings out inner peace

 

[tshadowchaser]

what makes a great drink when all alcohol will do the job

can’t agree there some drinks taste terrible when mixed with certain alcohol and some alcohol tastes like crap without a mixer

when you get a haircut why is it always wet

what’s a hair cut can not remember when I last had one but do not worry I am loosing my hair so fast it will not matter in a few years

If men are always wrong then why create women

Had to have someone to tell men there wrong

If women are also right then why have man

So they have someone to ***** at:angel:
