I have done my best to answer your mysteries of life, enjoy:

1. "When the problem of toast sliding off a plate or table is examined more carefully - with the toast modelled as a thin, rigid, rough lamina - it turns out that the public perception is quite correct. Toast does indeed have a natural tendency to land butter side down, essentially because the gravitation torque induced as the toast topples over the edge of the plate/table is insufficient to bring the toast butter-side up again by the time it hits the floor." http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rajm/toast.htm

4. http://education.jlab.org/qa/air_01.html

6. It doesn't.

9. Pretty much the same as he does now, probably.

10. It depends on the manufacturer of the sausage really

11. HE is actually male, although I haven't varified this myself, I'm pretty sure.

13. "FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION (29 letters; an estimation of something as worthless)" http://members.aol.com/gulfhigh2/words11.html

15. The bread turns into toast.

16. The Matrix - "A computer hacker learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against the controllers of it." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/
The Matrix Reloaded - "Neo and the rebel leaders estimate that they have 72 hours until 250,000 probes discover Zion and destroy it and its inhabitants. During this, Neo must decide how he can save Trinity from a dark fate in his dreams." http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0234215/

18. "E-mail spam consists of many copies of the same message sent to individuals." http://www.fau.edu/spam/
"According to the The Amazing SPAM Home Page, the ingredients of SPAM are as follows:
chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added
salt (for binding, flavor, and firmness)
water (to help in mixing)
sugar (for flavor)
sodium Nitrite (for color and as a preservative)" http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20010205.html

22. They like to think they are

23. Maybe you need to wash.

24. Maybe this has something to do with why it's called a hamburger - "In the nineteenth century, German immigrants brought a dish called Hamburg Style Beef to the United States, which had traveled to the seaport city of Hamburg, Germany from Russia. This dish was a raw, chopped piece of beef and is believed to be the primitive ancestor of the modern hamburger." http://bbq.about.com/library/weekly/aa070597.htm?iam=savvy&terms=+origin++hamburgers

Why does this always happen: I'm sitting at my desk in the office, I look right and left, there's nobody. There hasn't been anybody around for about half an hour. I feel this huge gas bubble creepin' down and yesterday's chili smell fills the room. Then why is it that when I do this, there's ALWAYS somebody standing next to me within 10 seconds and I feel really embarassed and stupid. Especially when it's this hot chick from the sales department..... damn!!!
