Default Some Philosophy....

If a young man swimming at a local swimming pool places his goggles on the bottom of the slide to pick up when he is done jumping off the diving board, and the goggles are picked up by an employee and brought to the lost and found box.

since this young man hasn't lost his goggles, were they actually found at all?

BTW a fellow lifeguard i work with asked me this today, i was like :wtf: man i :dunno:

wow that is probably the most pathetic, retarded theoretical question ive ever heard of.

Technically, they are lost, because he can't find them. Maybe HE didn't lose them, but they are lost.

You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"?


Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?


Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?


Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?


You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive?

Proof of age. Drinking and driving has nothing to do with it.

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

Just is that way.

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

So they can get federal funding. Also for the army. Each state must have at least one federally funded, therefore owned, highway.

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

In case of a splash down. Most people have better instinces to grab something that is floating than know how to operate a shute.

Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?

For when you leave stupid. :slap:

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?

that's just a stupid question. no.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

Yes.

How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?

Weather forcasting has come a long way since the farmers alminac.... might wanna try looking at the weather AND BE PREPARED!

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

It's the law. It's a commercial business. And they do close at some point.

If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?

hey look, another stupid question

If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan?

By sanding the surface of the metal before applying the TEFLON and then at high pressure spraying it literally INTO the metal. The TEFLON gets lodged inside the cracks and grooves and becomes part of the metal.

If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen?

Well you'd probably have a lot of scratches from the cat then the cat would probably try to get the stupid thing off of it.

If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights?

The light source is also traveling the same speed. There would be no diffrence if you were driving down the highway.

You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"?

There is no such thing. Stupid.

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

it's the law. Blind people are allowed 24hour banking too. You wanna goto court and try to prove otherwise? I don't.

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

It's a naming convention just like the chicken and egg question. Which was first I don't know.

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

Another naming convention that's been around longer than this question.

You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

It's not WHAT the box is made of. It's HOW it's made. It's made OF regular metals. Just highly armored and braced from the inside.

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

Noise is a distraction.
