    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? etc., etc.

    (That last one's a lie since I don't eat wheat and therefore bread, but you get the picture...)

    'What would I be like if my parents didnt meet?'

    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

    The two don't have to be mutually exclusive, Troy. You should know that.

    Why is it at airport check in I always take 30 seconds to check in and everyone else in the queue ahead of me without fail takes 5 minutes at least no matter how small their luggage?

    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?

    Toast typically flips once during the fall and therefore the buttered side will now be facing down. Simple logic really, PP.

    What is infinity?
    What's beyond outer space and within what is it all contained?
    Sorry if any of you haven't previously thought of this and getting a bit freaked out now.

    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.
    Sometimes people think of infinity in numerical terms but never consider how it applies to us and our very existence.

    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.
    It freaks many people out and drives others totally crazy.

    On a less profound note, whatever happened to Acid Rain?
    It used to be the big scare of the late 80's early 90's.

    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.
