10 Tricksy questions from Children, how many do you know?!

1. Why don't all the fish die when lightning hits the sea?
Because the lightening is not strong enough to electrify the whole sea?!

2. How much does the sky weigh?
?! Pretty complicated, I could work out the weight of the atmosphere at a certain density but not the whole sky!

3. Why can't people leave other people alone?
Answer eludes me.

4. Why are birds not electrocuted when they land on electricity wires?
Not being earthed when they land.

5. What is time?
It is a measure between events (or an illusion) your choice.

6. Why is the Moon sometimes out in the day and sometimes at night?
The moon is visible when light reflects off its surface, sometimes light can hit its surface in sufficient intensity to make it visible during the day.

7. Why did God let my kitten die?
Masturbation? This is only funny if you have seen the joke email about kittens and masturbation. . . .

8. Why do I like pink?
Because you are weird.

9. Why is water wet?
Because it is a liquid and all liquids are wet? I am not sure on this one.

10. Why does my best friend have two dads?

10. Why does my best friend have two dads?
Answers on a post card please!

I could so easily see myself halfway through a conversation about what is a gay man and it is fine to be gay, to then find out actually its a dad and a step-dad!

I had a fit of a giggles in a supermarket recently, as mum and trolley were being followed around by a very embarrassed daughter. Mum... why. Daughter... why are you saying why... Mum... why. Daughter mum stop it people are looking at us. Mum... why.....

I've not been very active on the forums recently, couldn't resist though...

1. Why don't all the fish die when lightning hits the sea?
Some of them do, suffering horrendous burns. Oh, and it's tuna steak for dinner.

2. How much does the sky weigh?
Not enough to hold your mouth shut.

3. Why can't people leave other people alone?
You mean with dumbass questions? Go back to your pit.

4. Why are birds not electrocuted when they land on electricity wires?
If they touch more than one they are electrocuted. Want to go kite-flying near the substation?

5. What is time?
A countdown to your eventual painful demise if you keep on asking these questions.

6. Why is the Moon sometimes out in the day and sometimes at night?
When it's out in the day it means it'll try to consume your soul that night, but it rarely succeeds.

7. Why did God let my kitten die?
He hates you, just like Santa does.

8. Why do I like pink?
Because you're weak and respond to social conditioning. Get back to the kitchen.

9. Why is water wet?
So it can drown you. Want to go swimming?

10. Why does my best friend have two dads?
Because their mother was a tart, or known only by her code at the ovary-bank.

If anyone needs a babysitter, give me a call. On another note, I'm not nearly as cynical today as the rest of this post suggests.
