“Do you need a silencer when you shoot a mime?” sure. dahil yung baril ang puputok hindi ang mime. but the mime does not need a silencer, thou.
sino bang gumawa nyan? parang si ax kung magtanong….
bakit andaming tanong na hindi kayang ipaliwanag ng syensya, may mga pagkakataon na kaya natin naitatanong ang mga ganyang bagay dahil may gumugulo sa atin. kaso dahil malabo nga ang sagot at walang sapat na mga batayan, para tayong naghahanap ng karayom sa isang bunton ng kamalig… di ba mahirap yon…. kaya tahan na tsi… wag ka na magtatanong ulit ha… bahala ka hindi ka na mananalo sa sarangola… hahahahha

Oo nga baril naman ang puputok yay nanggugulo lang ano?

Witty questions we may never get to find the right answer.

If you try to fail and succeed, what have you done? = If you achieve your objective, then your endeavor is a success. Therefore, you've succeeded.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
because people who are careless likes to drop a lit match in dry tinder, dead grass, or something similarly as flammable. and many forest fires are the product of bad people, who purposely go out and try to burn down the place. they use accelerators like gasoline, kerosene, and napalm (gasoline with Styrofoam in it) to help one match burn down a forest.
and the reason why it takes a box of matches to start a campfire is because either you didn't set up the wood pile right or you forgot to douse it in lighter fluid first. You can't have a match light a log. you need smaller pieces of wood, like twigs and all the way down to dry tinder to try and light a fire with one match. Or… you can douse it in fuel.
Why is the time when the traffic is slowest called rush-hour? = because there are the msot cars attempting to leave (Hence, people in a rush)
What’s the speed of dark? = Darkness has no energy. It is not a wave or particle, it is actually nothing so you cannot define a speed for darkness as it is not there, it cannot be emitted or travel spacetime in any way.
If physics can predict lottery numbers, why are they still working? = physics or psychics?if you meant psychics, it's because they believe in charma. 'cause winning the lottery just because you've seen the future is a form of cheating. and they don't want to pay the toll for cheating.
If you run backwards will you gain weight? = no. in fact, you will lose more weight because it requires extra effort to run backwards.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you need to buy her friends? = because they're just dolls/toys and her friends (which are dolls too won't come to her by themselves.)
What happens when you get scared half-to-death twice? = you get scared half-to-death twice. or technically, since after the first time they are already half dead, the second half would really be a quarter of the initial aliveness. so they would be three quarters dead after the second time being scared half to death. it's an exponential decay factor.
Can a blind person feel blue? = yes
How can a house burn up when it burns down? = it can't
Are you telling the truth when you lie in bed? = depends on what you're saying.
If your vacuum cleaner really sucks, is it a bad thing? = depends on your definition of the word sucks
How do you know when a Smurf suffocates? = when it turns pink. LOL
Despite the cost of living, why does it remain so popular? = because most humans, like all creatures, have a natural instict to stay alive, have children, and push on the species. it's mostly biological, not something we all make a conscious decision about.
If a word in a dictionary is misspelled, how would you know? = when you know the correct spelling of the word
In Chinese why are the words for crisis and opportunity the same? Actually, they aren't. That is a modern myth promoted by the internet and Hollywood. Follow the link: http://www.pinyin.info/chinese/crisis.html
Why does X stand for a kiss?
Why does O stand for a hug?
= The first mention in literature of XXX for kisses at the bottom of a letter was in 1901, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The X itself is very old.
The custom goes back to the early Christian era, when a cross mark or “X” was the same as a sworn oath. The cross referred to the cross of Calvary and the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, Xristos.
Even as little as a hundred and fifty years ago, not many people could read or write. The “X” at the bottom of a document took the place of a signature. They would kiss the “X” as a crucifix or bible was kissed to emphasize the importance of the mark. It was this practice that lead to the “X” representing a kiss.
There isn't much known about the beginnings of the “O”. It is a North American custom. The “O” represents the arms in a circle around another person. Arms crossed in front of you do not mean the “X” as a hug! The “O” is the hug.
In “The Joys of Yiddish” by Leo Rosten, it is noted that illiterate immigrants (or those who did not know Roman-English letters) would generally sign entry forms with an “X” but Jews preferred an “O” to avoid making something that looked like a cross. Also, shopkeepers and salesmen would similarly sign receipts with a circle. Could this be the origin of the “O”?
Or could it have developed from the game of tic tac toe, where one player uses the “X” and another the “O”, leading people to think that the “O” was the hug, as the “X” is the kiss.

Why is the alphabet in that order? = Alphabet HQ tried other orders, but the letters only got confused and wandered around the baseline. This order seems to work, whatever the reason. The letters never go on strike or anything. Once in a while, you hear rumors that A is obsessed with the lead slot and pays the other vowels to stay put, but I'm pretty sure that's just trash talk from three or four gossipy consonants.
~~~~~~~~~
If you take a look at the 24 letter-layout in the Greek alphabet, the English alphabet flows along the same lines, with some notable exceptions in zeta, xi, phi, chi, and psi. The Greek alphabet, from Alpha to Omega:
Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega.
From Wikipedia,
“According to legends recounted by Herodotus, the alphabet was first introduced to Greece by a Phoenician named Cadmus, who also figures in other Greek mythology.” The following link takes you to the Wikipedia article. Enjoy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet
How does skating on thin ice get you into hot water? = it doesnt mean that literally it just means that you are treading on dangerous ground and getting into trouble
Why are they called stands when there made for sitting? = it's because when they were first mass marketed, they were made by a company run by Hale Stand. Kinda like how the crapper (toilet) was invented by John Crapper.
Doesn’t expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected? = It depends. Although you may think you are expecting the unexpected, there will still be things happen that you did not consider, hence even when you expect the unexpected, something unexpected still can happen while you are busy expecting the unexpected.
So while you may make the unexpected expected, the unexpected can still hit you even when you expect it… I guess that's why they call it the unexpected.
When cheese gets its picture taken what does it say? = if you're pertaining to the cheese which we eat, it doeasn't say anything. it doesn't talk
Why are they called non-stick pans? = because they want people to think that nothing will stick on them
Is there a law saying your not allowed to put sticks in them? is this a follow up question about the pans? well, the stick in the “non-stick pans” doesn't mean stick (wood)
Why are a wise-man and a wise-guy opposites? = A wise guy never knows when to shut up while a wise man knows when to speak well and when to others.
If work is so terrific how come they have to pay you to do it? = They don't pay you to do the work you like, they pay you to do the work they don't want to do. Some people get paid for their time, whether they work or not.
Should crematoriums give discounts for those
w
ho died in fires? = maybe if the family of the deceased ask for a discount.
Is it possible to have a civil-war? = Civil war, seems to be an oxymoron. It means that the war, is within a recognized nation or state, between two or more “civil factions.” If the war is between people of different countries or nations, then it is the generic type of war. In any type of war, there will be lots of oxymorons, like “military intelligence,” and my favorite, “friendly fire.” In addition to the oxymorons, you also always find a lot of simple morons in any war, usually the morons in charge who started the damn war in the first place.
If the #2 pencil the most popular, why is it still #2? = I think it is the size of the lead
Do tea makers have coffee breaks? = if they want to
Can fat people go skinny-dipping? = the word skinny there doesn't mean thin. it means naked
Why do they announce power shortages on TV? = ewan
Do you need a silencer when you shoot a mime? = if they don't want the sound of the gunfire top be heard, yes, they should
Why do you press harder on the remote-control when you know the battery is dead? = because sometimes, it seems to work when you press harder
How can batteries die? = they don't die. they just run out of energy
If its zero degrees tonight, and tomorrow its meant to be twice as cold, how cold will it be? = -0.5? LOL
Why are buildings called buildings when there finished?
Shouldn’t they be called builts?
= I guess for the same reason paintings aren't called painteds?
Why is abbreviated such a long word? = cause it's not abbreviated. if you want to shorten it, then abbreviate it.
Why is it that when you tell a man there are 400 billion stars he will believe you, but when you tell him there’s wet paint he has to touch it? = they're stupid. that's why
Who’s cruel idea was it to put a ‘S’ in ‘lisp’? = probably the same guy who decided to name the fear of long words hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliop hobia
Do you find it unnerving that what doctors do is called ‘practice’? = no
Would a fly without wings be called a walk? = no. but if you want, you're free to do so
If a turtle doesn’t have a shell is it homeless or naked? = neither
Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? = yes they could. if they want to
Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections? = because cruel and unusual punishment is against the constitution and non sterilazation of the needs makes it fall under that category (Which I find ironic in itself.)
No comment haha sinagot talaga and mas mahaba pa ang kinoment mo sa post ko haha congartulations, may 95% kang grade on answering those q's hehe.

Can you cry under water?
'Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?'
- In case at the last minute, the condemned receives a 'stay of execution' order. Also, it makes things safer for everyone involved.
