here are some good questions:

- Why do companies offer you "free gifts?" Since when has a gift NOT been
free?

- If something "goes without saying," why do people still say it?

- You know the expression, "Don't quit your day job?" Well what do you say to
people that work nights?

- Why do you get in trouble for blocking an exit when you're standing in the doorway? In case of an emergency, wouldn't you run out, too, therefore NOT blocking the exit?

- Why is it when some products you have to turn it upside down to read the directions, and the directions say do not turn upside down?

- Why is a square meal served on round plates?

- Why is the 0 on a phone after 1 and not before 1?

- Which way does a compass point in space?

- Why are people allowed to put naked statues outside but why can't we run outside naked?

add to the list...

Round Two

- If you were a genie and a person asked you this wish, "I wish you would not grant me this wish" what would you do?

Why are Pringles curved?

What happens if your snot freezes in your nose?

Why aren't safety pins as safe as they say they are?

Why is it that its good to score under par in golf but its bad to be “under par” in any thing else?

Is Jerry Garcia grateful to be dead?

Why do people say, "You can't have your cake and eat it too"? Why
would someone get cake if they can't eat it?

Can bald men get lice??

How come popcorn isn't a vegetable?

Do movie producers still say lights, camera, and action when it is a dark scene?

Did Noah have woodpeckers on the ark? If he did, where did he keep them?

Why is Charlie short for Charles if they are both the same number of letters?

Why is snow white and ice clear? Aren't they just different forms of water?

and my personal favorite
If all of the Acme stuff doesn't work, why does Wile Coyote keep buying their products?

To try and get your attention. Gifts are not free when they're included in the purchase price of the product.

Because they're stupid

quote:

Don't quit your night job.

quote:

You wouldn't if you're stupid.

quote:

Because they're sold at Silly Sollys.

quote:

- Why is a square meal served on round plates?


Dunno

quote:

- Why is the 0 on a phone after 1 and not before 1?


To make up for 10

quote:

- Which way does a compass point in space?


Nowhere.

quote:

- Why are people allowed to put naked statues outside but why can't we run outside naked?


Because statues aren't alive. Plus, they have no.....uh, nevermind.

If the S.W.A.T team comes to your house and breaks down your door, do they replace it later?

Which way does a compass point in space?

Depends on where you are in space. Close to the Earth, it would point toward the poles. Further away and it might point toward the poles of the Sun (whose magnetic field is 100 times stronger than Earth's). Most, but not all, other planets have noticable magnetic fields (Jupiter's is 10 times stronger than Earth's, while Mars and Venus seem to lack magnet fields).
quote:

Provides structural strength and stackability.
quote:
Why is snow white and ice clear? Aren't they just different forms of water?

Each interface between air and frozen water causes some reflection and refraction of light. With enough tiny crystals, all the light is scattered in every direction to make the snow look white. Ground up window glass would also look white. Likewise a large crystal of salt is clear.

Because the Coyote didn't have internet service so he could not see that Acme had a very low seller's rating on EBay.

Or maybe Wild E Coyote made a deal with Acme to try and advertise their products during the show, but couldn't get them to work, and then got sued and couldn't afford anything else? Hmm, that was a bit confusing. I think i'll go to bed now.
