The internet has been called the greatest education tool ever...
Yet, in the words of the old song there are still more questions than answers.
Here are just some of the thousands of queries pinging around on emails and forums baffling computer users, from the origin of species to the shape of pizza boxes. Some silly to some serious.
See if you can answer one of them...
Why do we press harder on a remote when we know the batteries are flat?
Can you cry under water?
Why do people believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the tube?
Why do they use sterilised needles for execution by lethal injection?
How come Tarzan didn't have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest but ducks when a baddie throws a gun at him?
Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose cruel idea was it to put an "S" in "lisp"?
Whats the speed of dark?
Are there reserved parking spaces for able-bodied people at the Special Olympics?
If you sent someone a consignment of polystyrene, what would you pack it in?
If the temperature is zero outside today and its going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold would it be?
Why do banks charge for "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money in your account to pay for it?
If its true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing?
What level of importance must a person have before they are considered assassinated instead of murdered?
Why does round pizza come in a square box?
How is it that we put man on the moon before figuring out it would be a good idea to put wheels on our bigger suitcases?
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when baby's wake up every couple of hours?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings then put money into binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors, when they ask you to strip, leave the room or close the cubical curtain while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
If all the nations in the world are in debt, where did all the money go?
Who copyrighted the copyright symbol?
Why is an actor in a movie but on TV?
Do fish ever get thirsty?
Can you still get cornered if you're in a round room?
Why don't birds fall out of trees when they are asleep?
Orange: which came first, the fruit or the colour?
If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, should we boycott baby oil?
Why is it called a "building" when it's already been built?
If you were travelling at the speed of sound and turned on you radio, would you be able to hear it?
If you were driving at the speed of light and turned on your headlights, what would happen?
Why is it called a TV set when there's only one of it?
Why do the speedometers on cars go up to the speeds that are both completely illegal and well beyond the capability of the car?
Once you make it to heaven, are you stuck for eternity in the same clothes you were buried in?
Enjoy...
