Beware the lollipop of Mediocrity - Lick it once and You'll Suck Forever.

So a few weeks ago justjayme  set me a challenge. According to my fellow blogger, I seem to think I know everything. Of course I don't think I know everything ... just most things. I didn't take the quiz that Justjayme set me because it didn't seem worth it; The whole question of whether the attacks on September eleventh 2001 were real or constructed for some shadowy government conspiracy, just seems to silly to respond to.

 

However ....

 

I have decided to answer some of the world's most pressing questions and find out if anyone has any more questions they'd like answered. So here goes:

 

1- How long is a piece of string?

   A- A piece of string is exactly twice the length measured from the centre to one end. There is a longer, more scientific answer but I like this one better.     

 

2- How far can a person run into a forest?

   A- A person can run half way into a forest, after which they are running out of it.

 

3- What came first, the chicken or the egg?

   A- The egg came first because the parents of the first chicken had to be "proto-chickens".  That is to say that they had to have two sets of genes that together, would produce the first chicken but couldn't be chickens themselves.

 

4- Why did the chicken cross the road?

   A- This is a surprisingly easy one to answer, given that so many people have tried to answer it. The chicken crossed the road because birds are prone to random acts dictated by random thoughts. In other words, they do things for no reason at all. It simply chose to. The bigger question on my mind is: why are so may people interested in questioning the choices made by a flightless avian food source? 

 

5- If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

   A- The simple answer is: NO. The reason is that sound only becomes sound when it strikes an eardrum. Before that, the "noise" is simply vibrations that cannot be called sound at all. If you watch the ocean you see waves, these are vibrations but they make no sound until they strike the beach or rocks and transform into smaller, faster air vibrations that strike your eardrum and enable you to hear them. If you were in the water, the vibrations (waves) would roll over and around you but you wouldn't hear them becuse they are too big to fit into your ear - get it?

 

OK, so if anyone has any questions they've always wanted the answers to, just let me know.
