::thinks hard::

Why this hasn't been moved to goof off?

No, really...

Why did TechTV edit the last episode of "Last Exile" so an important scene was missing? It changed the ending??

I have no idea.

[SPOILER]Because the dark side of the force, represented by Darth Siduous, gave him a false pride in himself in his abilities as a jedi, thus making him believe that he could do what his rational mind knew was not physically possible. Either that, or he believed that death was better than not defeating and killing Obi-wan- the ultimate sign of triumph, because to him, Obi-wan was the person he most respected and revered, and beating him would be the proof of his greatness and superiority over everyone, and it would also sever any ties he may have had with his past life. [/SPOILER]

That was crappin long.

Why is Greenwich time so mean?

because the word mean is defined in that case as average. GMT is based on the line that runs through an observitory in Greenwich.

Um... no idea. I don't think you can say everyone does. And sometimes it's just that men are drawn to look somewhat like women. It's like a style, sometimes, I think, that makes men and women look almost interchangeable.

I don't think it's a good thing, but I don't think think all women like guys that look like girls, either. :)

Could go into this more, but...

*wonders why this hasn't been moved to goof off*

Hmm...I came into this thread thinking there might be some serious pondering going on in here. I have nothing against fun though.

For now I got one pretty good one

Why is the NFL team that's named the Browns color orange?

Why are so many people's avatars misleading? I always was used to a girl have girl avatars and vice versa.

heres a question that confounds me:

Why isn't this in the goof off?

I have a few...

Why can't Nintendo attract third-party developers? (and don't say RE4...that is only one game compared to dozens for the other consoles).

Why do I still visit the CAA even thought I haven't watched any anime in over a year?

How can you reconcile divine foreknowledge with human free will? (bonus points if you can come up with an answer that doesn't depend on timelessness/eternity).

If there are more women than men in the world (and there are; over 7 million more in the U.S. alone), why do we still say that there is someone for everyone?

Why doesn't the "master key" in Resident Evil open every door in the game?

Do gnomes live in my closet?

What is the meaning of Life?

Why do people ask the same questions over and over?

Seriously though, these questions can be serious or humorous. There is no reason to toss any slightly humorous thread into the Goof-off forum.

why must cbwing bring up how "nintendo is inferior" again

Why doesn't MSP know me well enough by now to realize that I can't pass up an opportunity to bash Nintendo?

And here's another to stave off the Goof-off forum vultures:

Why do game companies think that having a console that stands vertically is so important?

Because they want it to be easy to knock over.

Therefore breaking. Therefore buying-a-new-one.

^-^ Mesah so smartie!

Maybe on a different forum...

Here, we like to confuse. :) Make you wonder about our genders every day. (Who is this 'we' whereof I speak?!)

No, seriously, because people like to pick their favorite characters. Most people's favorite characters do not look like themselves. Sometimes they're not the same gender, either.

Why do 'fat chance' and 'slim chance' mean the same thing?

Why does Grand Union have 'low prices everyday!' in the water aisle, then still have it there the next day when they raise the price by six cents?

What kind of cruel person put the letter 's' in the word 'lisp'?

And what are those green things in the school mozzerella sticks?!
