What was Scott Peterson thinking?

Why do we pay adults to play chlidren's games (baseball, basketball, etc.) more than nearly anyone else in the world?

Ahem: "Dalmatian". Sorry, but that's one of my pet peeves (no pun intended).

Why in a world of abundance are people going without ?

Why if the universe is stable, ordered, benevolent and expansive are the minds of many unstable, disordered, malevolent and contractionary ?

Why have various groups of people throughout history used violence, misinformation and confusion as weapons to subjugate others ?

(P.S. I know the answers to these questions. I am just waiting for others to ask the same things.)

Why is true wisdom and grace ignored, mocked, marginalized or silenced ?

The blind person is the passenger.

The driver enters the drive thru in the opposite direction.

Why men never stop to ask for directions?

Because in states like Massachusetts, for example, it is state law to give the wrong directions when asked. Besides we invented GPS. Next question.

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

Can you name them? I think you'll find the answer there.

Because I am a dylsexic I resent your inference that I work for Fedex. I send all my mail through LHD. I am a little bit upset with LHD's service lately though. The packages always come back marked "Return to Sender."

---Why do they put braille on drive-up ATMs?---

Actually, what you are seeing (pun) is intended for the passengers in British automobiles.

There are some ideas worth experiment and exploration. But there are other ideas that are so stupid that only an intellectual would be able to believe them.

14. Michael Jackson's Face. Physicists at Los Alamos have concluded, based on exhaustive scientific analysis that Michael Jackson's face is the result of a macrogenetic fusion of Liz Taylor's ass and DNA from the Planet of the Apes.

A series of dermatological excisions have produced cells which are clearly unrelated to any known species on earth, leading theoretical physicist Jennifer Lopez of San Andreas University to speculate that Jackson may be a previously unknown life form from the X-Files.
