Only the real impponderables for me...
What is the meaning of life?
Why does the queue I join in the post office always move the slowest?
Why does my toast always fall butter side-down when I drop it? :confused: etc., etc.
(That last one's a lie since I don't eat wheat and therefore bread, but you get the picture...)
:ball: PP
Why do people onder what the meaning of life is instead of getting on with it?
What would I be like if I was born a girl & not a boy?
What would I be like if my parents didnt meet?
Do you really wonder that.Quote:

Thats a weird one alright - would that not mean you would never have existed and thus never knew about this world, and thus never would've had that question to ask :D
The two don't have to be mutually exclusive, Troy. You should know that. :)Quote:

poor student, quality, was just thinking the same on me way home 2 weeks ago. i just cant understand it. and i knew they would so i took a look around to let everyone know when i first checked in and got out of the queue.
my father has a funny one though, you know when people are holding up traffic for about 2 or 3 miles etc on a road going about 40 mile an hour and wont move into the hard shoulder to let others pass them out,because they are ignorant and sh1te drivvers. well when he passess them out he swerves in right in to the hard shoulder, slows down for a bit and stays there right in front, it is very funny, but funnier that he even thinks they take notice....
Who discovered tobacco? And who thought of adding cannabis to it?
And what was your man doing when he first milked a cow?
And if we drive on the left because ye needed to keep your right hand free to attack others with your sword should you have meet a nasty character on the road, why do most countries drive on the right? (maybe this one is answerable?)
And why can't tractor companies give them a higher top speed?
Is heaven really just floating on fluffy clouds or is there more to it?
A bit of a w*nker I'd imagine....:) hehe sorry I had to.Quote:

Sorry if any of you haven't previously thought of this and getting a bit freaked out now. :o
Why doesn't vegatarian pizza have vegetarians on it??
Why didn't Fred Flintstone jump through the window of the house like his sabre tooth tiger did at the end of every show??
What is infinity?
Infinity is an unbounded quantity. It is a value or state that we as people can not measure as measuring it bounds it and by definition its unbounded so by ascribing it a value would be paradoxical in a way.
It actually leads perfectly to your second question of:
What's beyond outer space and within what is it all contained?
That would be dealing with potentially trying to wrap infinity in a finite amount which will always lead to the question of what is beyond that. I assume whatever lies beyond if beyond is even the way to describe it is currently unfathomable to us and therefore this question is currently unanswerable and is just a spectulative question to which so many enjoy pondering and arguing about. I think by investigating the small we will understand the infinite. Quantum Physics is intriguing!!!
Yeah, I intended for the questions to be linked.Quote:

I agree with that as I came to the same conclusion when I was thinking about death at around 11 or 12 years of age.Quote:

Napoleon was left handed. So that's why Europe changed from riding their horses on the left hand side of the road, and then the Canadians, and then the Yanks just to be anti British. FACT.Quote:

Off them nearly 5 weeks now, but why can't they just be like drink - okay in moderation? Or even better like red wine, where a couple of smokes in the evening actually do you good? :( Proof there is no God...
Well if Tony Blair pandered to Bertie, I'm sure we'd get over it too. ;)Quote:

Numerical terms of infinity can cause confusion as you can always add one to a number to make it bigger and at what point in the number chain is infinity reached is the question usually asked, but it doesn't work that way. Take Positive Integers, this set is infinite as they are unbounded. Its not at any point it becomes infinite. It is infinite. In relation to our existance, I consider humans to be no more to the earth as ants would be to a forest. It could be considered incredibly arrogent of us to consider ourselves as anything more than a bi-product of a plantary system. The concept of God and religion somewhat smells of arrogence on our part that we alone in an eco-system of billions of creatures are the only bunch that get to continue after life. God in my opinion is the gap between our current knowledge and the unknown. It always has been considering the re-definition of God over the course of our history.Quote:

I am sure getting caught in a nuclear fallout might stop some disease but its not really the point.......Quote:

I don't have any religious beliefs, thank God. ;)
Didn't know debate on this subject was venturing into bannable material. I wasn't debating the nature of religions. I don't really mind what people get up to as long as they don't make me do it :). It's in Off Topic. I assumed this was some level of discussion on topics off football? If you mention infinity, god is unavoidable seeing as the concept is religions way of defining infinity and most of the world is of some religion.
Hence there is no God. My question that I wanted answered was why it was bad for you, not some numpty stating the bleeding obvious. :rolleyes: :DQuote:

Smokers have lower levels of antioxidants in their blood than do nonsmokers.Quote:

Its not really a theory more than a fact but thats not the question asked. Why can't it be good. It can be fantastic. The only price is the potential of a very uncomfortable end with the coughing and phelgm and stuff. But hey you might never smoke and end up that way. So you choose. Enjoy your vices and be damned the consequences or live all proper and hope that you live to 140 and die whilst playing a 5 a side game of astroturf soccer after scoring the winning goal :)
because you are dead ( from the smokes ) before it has a chance to kick in???Quote:

What created the universe? And if we are to believe scientists and the whole Big Bang theory, how did the Big Bang happen from nothing?
