Contradicting Questions. You gotta wonder...

I found my notebook in which I wrote all these fun questions that I found on the internet years ago and looking back at it, I still laugh and still wonder.

See if you can explain some of these. I have a lot written but I'll post some for your enjoyment and post more later.

*Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when you can't smoke there?

*Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

*Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same?

*Why do they call it buildings when it's already built?

*Why is it called rush hour when everything moves so slow?

*When you erase a word with a pencil, where does it go?

*If Barbie is so popular, why do we have to buy her friends?

*If the #2 pencil is so popular, why is it still #2?

Enjoy

Do you get a prize for each right answer?

Why do they sell beer at gas stations?

I actually have a lot more of these now...the questions that is.

Didn't think this thread would be updated, since I was going to use some of these questions for a future intro thread. But here's some more:

Would a fly without wings be called a walk?

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road?

If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?

Some questions are really funny, others are just meant to be asked one day

How about these:
Why ask rethorical questions? You don't really want any answers...

Why still sell cigarettes if they kill people? Is this some sort of government scheme to get rid of people?

How come the good guys never get hit by a bullet in a shoot-out, but the bad guys always do? Are they just bad shooters or do they miss on purpose?

Ooops...Sorry. I do think they would make great thread topics.

Eh, don't apologize. I'm just surprised, that's all. Only because of the slow response.

Oh well, maybe it might help prepare the posters in case I may strike them with these

beer tastes good, but gas stations you normally get to with cars, other stores not so much.

Ooh, why do they call it a driveway if you're parked there?

Some of these are really funny!

*If corn oil comes from corn and olive oil is from olives than where does baby oil come from?
