If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
Planck's Constant, a delightful blog, has a series of serious questions that seriously need a serious answer. A sample, then go read the whole thing:
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? [Moreover, why does he wear his underwear on the outside of his tights and what kind of man wears a cape anyway?]Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? [Actually, it's cold up there. To push the question to its logical conclusion, why do they bother wearing any clothes at all?]
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"? [To tell the difference from people who do not have a lithp]
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? [Who said ALL the apes evolved? - More importantly, who said ALL humans are evolved?]
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Moose, my oh my, just like a liberal... when he/she doesn't understand the question (hint: It was humor) give an answer that is factual, but irrelevant! ;-)
Cheers, and by the bye, that was at least an interesting article... much more so than something on ID from KOS or the DU! ;-)

Wow. Most of those are, like, really really old.
Here's a golden oldie:
Why does a tub of sour cream have an expiration date?

Although, "Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?" gave me a good laugh. Hadn't heard that one before.

Heard most of them before, but still funny as hell.
