Made you think…

August 12, 2008

  • Can you cry under water?

  • How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

  • Why do you have to ‘put your two cents in’… but it’s only a ‘penny for your thoughts’? Where’s that extra penny going to?

  • Once you’re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

  • Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

  • What disease did cured ham actually have?

  • How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

  • Why is it that people say they ’slept like a baby’ when babies wake up like every two hours?

  • If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

  • Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?

  • Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

  • Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They’re going to see you naked anyway.

  • Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

  • If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?

  • Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ?
  • If the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat?
  • Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs!

  • If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn’t he just buy dinner?

  • If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

  • Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

  • Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

  • Why do they call it an asteroid when it’s outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it’s in your butt?

  • Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

    8. not sure if i can ans all ur questions, but here’s some simple ones:

      # Can you cry under water?
      -Yes. just wear goggles.

      # How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
      -not about the person’s importance. the difference is that assassination has a political motivation, but this is not a critical factor for murder.

      # Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
      -cos square boxes are more economical to produce?

      # If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
      -yes… dun take the technical term so literally…lah.

      # Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?
      -cos movie is the animate subject, while TV is the physical object. similarly, you say you are IN a drama serial, but not “ON a drama serial” rite?

      # Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
      -cos actually they mean to look afar to the horizons, and not to the ground?

      # Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They’re going to see you naked anyway.
      -it’s not a qn of ‘anyway’. it’s a huge difference bw watching u change, and performing professional medical checks on your body. the former can get charged criminally, but the latter may not be so.

      # Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
      -u may never know. eating habits vary.

      # If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
      -and you actually know about this ’stupid song’. goes to show so much. ha ha ha…

      # Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ?
      -you can try.

      # If the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat
      -professors just cant think normally. haha..

      # Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs!
      -why is this even in your list of “Made you think”? i wonder..

      # Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
      -i’m sure u will react the same as the dog. will u get irritated when someone blows in your face, and will u enjoy it in a fast-riding car when the wind is blowing against your face? isn’t it obvious. -_-”

    9. it’s food for thought, not some PSLE assessment you were required to complete *rolls eyes*

      man, the pizza made me think of Ciao Italia… man I need to take a trip to Perth soon! =)

    11. I’m glad to meet you too! :)

      Yeah, I had a great time there but my calves are aching now cos I’ve been walking at the park from 9am to 4pm!!! The last time I visited birdpark was 10yrs ago so I guess I wanted to catch every single attractions. Ha!

      I believe the Alphabet and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star songs had the same tune. I’ve been singing these songs almost every night during my son’s bedtime routine for the past 3yrs! :D

    12. alamak. relax lah “passerby”. blursotong is just sharing sumthing that made her smile. no need to be so uptight right?! gawd you remind me of this obnoxious ‘know-it-all’ who sat next to me in skool. anyways i found this entirely engaging & amusing angela. cheers for sharing this!!!
      ;-)

      but while we’re at it “passerby”….. an assassination is not necessarily politikally motivated. i was very surprised when the media coined Tupac Shakurs’ killing as an assassination!!!! sensational media blurs many things. be kareful with wat you say.

    13. ok lets all chill…. :)

      I appreciate passerby posting his views, and guerrilla for mentioning about that assination thing. It’s all up for debate.

      i like lively discussions… makes the blog more interesting…

      :D

    14. wow… this is obviously the most entertaining post I came across in couple of days.

      I always wondered about the Goofy and Pluto thing when I was a kid. And my Mom would get mad because I would say over and over again, “..but they are both dogs. So why?” Ahh…it brought some pleasant memories.
