IMPONDERABLES
This page is devoted to imponderables, you know, those questions that no one seems to have the answer to, but that we ask anyway. Things like, "Why do you only see one shoe on the side of the road?" or, "If a tree falls in an empty forest does it make a sound?" The answers to these, and many other questions will be answered in part, and in many different forms on this page.
To encourage reader participation I have divided this page into three parts. Actually the reason it is divided into three parts is that I, and I know this may come as a shock to most of you, I don't know the answers to everything. So, I need outside help every now and then. (the use and meaning of this phrase will be discussed later on in this page)
The first part of this page will be questions I admit I don't have the answer to and want to know about.
I ASK READERS TO SEND IN THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT ANY OF THE IMPONDERABLES ON THIS PAGE. The page won't work without response.The third part of this page will be questions NONE of us have answers to. After a period of time where no one can give me any kind of answer (nonsense or otherwise) that will explain the question in any way, it will be moved down to the bottom of the page with the rest of the lost souls.
REMEMBER:
This page will not work without reader cooperation. If I see that no one is submitting answers I will just kill the page, and no one wants that.
My Questions
Why is the phrase "Every now and then" used to refer to something that only happens sometimes when the phrase itself is all-inclusive? You see there are two types of events, things that happen now, and things that happened or will happen then. After we get through the now it all becomes then, and in the same fashion everything that will happen is also a then. So every now and then REALLY refers to every second that has happened, will happen, and is happening in the whole history of the universe. Saying this is the same as saying ALL THE TIME, so why do we use it to refer to something that only happens occasionally?
Why do garbage men make so much money, when ordinary delivery boys only earn minimum wage? They are essentially doing the same thing.
Who thought it was a good idea to invent the Spice Girls? They can't sing, they can't act, they can't play any instruments, and all they do is stand around and act like whores. WHY?
Who invented gay people? (Don't say God because if God invented gay people he wouldn't have punished the whole town of Sodom for being gay, and he wouldn't consider it a mortal sin, as so stated in the Bible.) Who was the first gay person?
When a tree falls in an empty forest does it make a sound? What if a tree falls in an empty forest on a small woodland creature from the endangered species list? Does the government pass a bill forbidding trees from falling in empty forests and impose a heavy fine and a tax for any tree that falls, anyone aiding it in it's fall, anyone causing it to fall, and everyone else in the US who had no idea the tree fell at all and thinks they are paying for "Environmental Improvement"?
Why do you only see one shoe on the side of the road? What happened to its mate and how did it get their in the first place?
