If you throw a cat out a car window, does it become kitty litter?
If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?
If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?
Is it OK to use the AM radio after noon?
What do chickens think we taste like?
What do people in China call their good plates?
What do you call a male ladybug?
What hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?
When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
When they first invented the clock, how did they know what time it was to set it?
Which is the other side of the street?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
Why don't they call mustaches "mouthbrows"?
Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

Only if the skin breaks.

Quote
If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?

White, most likely.

Quote

It depends on how good his sense of balance and agility is.

Quote
Is it OK to use the AM radio after noon?

Yes.

Quote
What do chickens think we taste like?

Do they even have taste buds?

Quote
What do people in China call their good plates?

I don't speak Chinese.

Quote
What do you call a male ladybug?

A ladybug

Quote
What hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?

Natural bald, or shaved bald?

Quote
When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?

A different dog.

Quote
When they first invented the clock, how did they know what time it was to set it?

From sundials, which do not need to be set.

Quote
Which is the other side of the street?

The side you're not on.

Quote
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Because Noah in all likely-hood never existed.

Quote
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Perhaps they need the needles for other stuff, too.

Quote
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

The glue doesn't dry because it's not exposed enough.

Quote
Why don't they call mustaches "mouthbrows"?

Most likely because the etymology for the two terms is completely different.

Quote
Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

Same reason we can't shoot people named "Summer" in June->September in the Northern hemisphere.



Literal responses, FTL. Sorry. Couldn't resist. :p

AFAIK that word isn't prefix/root. It's just one thing.

I think the company was going out of buisness, so they made the "Final Fantasy."  But Final Fantasy was a hit and saved the company.

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

There is always the possibility for a last minute stay of execution or pardon.

Unlikely, but it's there.

And if they use filthy execution needles that give the man a disease, he can then sue the prison and/or the parties responsible for that prison (the state, the hospital any doctors may be a resident at) and will in all likeliness win their suite.

It's also a matter of dignity and respect.  Yes they're the convicted dead, but above all it's important to maintain fair practice.  It's what separates good people from foolish animals.

If you throw a cat out a car window, does it become kitty litter?

The real question is, when the cat smashes into the window of the car behind you, will the driver maintain control and not get into a fatal car accident, and will they realize they can take you to court for a sizable sum?

I admire Watson. Always been dragged all over the place by Sherlock, always having Sherlock's thinking go waaaay over his head.

Kind of like the loyal hound dog. He doesn't know what his master is up to, but damn, he's happy.

Better question: why did Noah take along carpenter ants and termites even though they build their nests in and eat wood respectively?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Just buy ten packs of buns and eight packs of hot dogs. Then you will have even amounts of buns and hot dogs.

My vote's on him eating one-eyed one-horned flying purple people.
