Because the employees at Remington and Gillette would be jobless, which will result in aimlessness for some of them and then they’ll be scratching at their hairy armpits, chins, legs, and other places with one hand, clutching at a bottle of ‘Hair of the dog’—or a half-empty bag of Krispy Kreme powered donuts—with the other hand while binge-watching every season of "American Horror Story" on Amazon Prime or dark-corner documentaries on Netflix.

Is there a map somewhere that leads to that moment of, ‘Eureka’?

It was written in the Tome of Thyme that a certain map that lead to the mystical "Eureka" did exist and that it was hidden in the Temple of Sage located in the Mountains of Marjoram by Epazote tribal mystics. It is said that this place can only be found by one pure of heart......that's why I haven't found it yet. Meh.

More people are very literal-minded. They would likely be interested were you to describe your book club as awful rather than awesome.

Why is glass transparent?

Because it's really shy and doesn't want to be seen.

It was the popular band The Birds and The Bee's who wrote the book of love.

In the early 1400's, a wealthy man by the name of Sir Mitchell McMonty had a full staff of maids. One of his best maids could no longer handle his abusive behavior. So, when a friend of hers offered her a job at the local pub she accepted. Unfortunately, the pub was Sir Mitchell McMonty's favorite hangout spot. When he walked into the pub to see her serving drinks he laughed.

"So, you quit being my house maid to be my barmaid."

Others in the bar heard the term. In fact, everyone started using the term. So, barmaids are called barmaids because of Sir Mitchell McMonty.

Opps, I forgot to add a question.

Why are the letters of the alphabet shaped the way they are shaped?

Nobody knows. Hang on a sec while I make a call. ... ... Okay. I wasn't able to get any answers. I'd barely started to speak when Nobody hung up, mumbling something about "super-secret" and "no eyes only".

[shrug] It's a mystery.

Are we still evolving?

We have never evolved. We are exactly the same as we were when the great god Mbombo barfed up the world.*

*from a Bakuba myth. :greenie


Should people who text while driving be sentenced to life in prison or to a week caddying for Trump at Mar-a-Lago?

They do, actually. But only during those rare occasions of hot-rainfall. And their shrinkage is offset by the growth spurt triggered by this wacky phenomenon.

Static is caused by rubbing several sheep together. Not wet sheep like what Mary M. has, but dry sheep like everyone else. Of course you have to be strong to pick up at least two sheep and rub them together. The sheep aren't terribly fond of it either. Static is created when their wooly sides are rubbed frantically together. Sometimes rogue sheep will do this on purpose and walk up to the their owner and shock them.

Why do fish swim.

They are taught to swim in schools.

If you go to a fancy dinner party, and there are bowls of flowers on the table, are you supposed to eat them?

The practice of laying out bowls of flowers on the table before supper is actually of Pagan origin. The ancient Celts believed that if their foods were embued with scents of vibrant plants on the eve of battle, that they too would be vibrant and strong the day of. As such, the practice is merely a traditional and cursory gesture, no eating intended.

Dogs use barks to send sub-sound coded messages to other dogs, like how email messages are sent in packets. The packets are decoded by the other dog's brain. Thus it is possible for all dogs in an area to be in communication all the time. However what they communicate is mostly where the food and squirrels are, and the good peeing places.

Why do some women neglect their toenail polish so all that remains are tiny stubs of uneven color?

In evolutionary psychology, this phenomenon is known as the "Bait and switch." Typically, this is one of the first signs. It's part of an elaborate test on part of the female to see whether the male has the capability for commitment, even when the female's bright plumage and shiny bobbits are absent.

Why are most people that refer to themselves as sapiosexual massively full of shit?

Who better to answer than a sapiosexual like myself? See, the thing is, as a sapiosexual, I'm not into body-type stuff at all. I mean, a body that's alive—able to walk and talk and maybe look around with its eyes and all that is obviously, well, necessary, but other than that, bleh. Whatever. Because I'm not big on physical stuff, I'm not big on physical stuff. Including my own physical stuff. As long as I've got wit and what not, I'm happy. Like this: :) And sometimes even this: :D Needless to say, sapiosexuals—like myself—tend to neglect their bodies. And their bodily needs. It's a little gross, but—*shrug*—not really. To a sapiosexual, that is.

After metal rusts, it retires to a home for elderly metallurgians.....there, they are cared for by qualified metallurgists till they need eventually pass onto to shavings. Sadly this happened to the Tin Woodsman years ago. There was a lot of crying....which led to more rust and the early demise of more Tin Woodspeople.

Why can't people from the UK speak proper english? Specifically the Scotts.

Ahhh, that's a tricky one....but all bubbles bursting go to Beavin. They are met at the bubbly gates by St. Globular who welcomes them and guides them to a coalesce center where they reform into golden globes. It's beautiful to see.

Why does the ice in my drinks melt to quickly?

That's what really causes black holes.

Are tigers black with orange stripes or orange with black stripes?
