and questions ANSWERED

1. Why is it always in the last place we look that we find what we are looking for? Because only an idiot would go on looking for something that is already found.


2. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The egg. If we are to believe the theory of evolution, chickens were descended from primordial birds that were already laying eggs. It was an "almost chicken" bird that laid the egg from which the first chicken hatched.

3. How high is up? Around 100 miles above sea level. "Up" is generally influenced by our sensation of gravity. Higher than 100 miles and we begin to lose this sensation. "Up" is no longer relevant.

4. How far is "as far as the eye can see"? Around 1,600 light years. The farthest object that can be seen by the human eye is the star Deneb, around 1,600 light years away.

5. If I piss off my boss and he tells me he is sending me to Timbuktu, where am I going? Mali. Timbuktu is an actual place in Mali.

6. What is the color of zebra? Black with white stripes and not the other way around. Shaven, zebras have black skin.

7. Where is Chuck Norris? click here for the answer

8. To be or not to be? Is that even a question? It is always to be. Whatever choice we make, we can not escape our "being".

9. Magkano ang isang kusing? Half a centavo. CENTAVO not cent you fools. Kusing is an actual monetary unit.

10.Who is pound for pound the best fighter in the world? Manny Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather is a wuss.

  1. Lemme try to answer some...

    1. What's the point of having my cake if I can not eat it too?

    You'd find it amazing how Filipinos would adopt such a saying which is highly inappropriate for Filipinos.

    2. Who died and gave Disney the right to ruin a perfectly good story? "The Little Mermaid" did not end happily.

    The original fairy tales died... The moment Disney tries to twist things up, nothing is left from the original versions. Only Disney's version exists in the end.
    Snow White was a russian story (Seven Miners) but since Americans hated russia back then, he made it into Dwarves (But still, the dwarves were miners.)
    In the Mermaid's case, it was meant to not end happy so young women wouldn't be foolish enough to fall for the first mysterious joe who knocks on the door. But that wouldn't sell. They had to make it a happy ending.

    3. If the moral of "Beauty and the Beast" is that real beauty is not physical, why is Beauty physically beautiful?

    Because if Belle was ugly, the movie wouldn't sell. :)

    4. Why is there only one female smurf? Who is the mother of Smurfette?

    Beats me...

    5. If in my dream I decided to sleep, do I need to wake up twice?

    Not necessarily. But I did have dreams where I had to wake up more than four times before I actually woke up. :(

    6. Is it ironic or appropriate that Turkey has no national bird?

    Really?

    7. What time is it at the north and south poles where all the international time zones converge?

    Hmm, spin a roulette? Choose whatever time zone you want? Ask the penguins. Hehehe.

    8. Without resorting to a circular argument fallacy, how would one describe what chicken tastes like?

    Hmm, this is a toughie... Tastes like Turkey?

    9. If human fingers were normally eight, would our number system be octimal and not decimal?

    Nope, maybe we won't use our fingers to count. Hehehe.

    10. Why do lists like these nearly always stop at ten?

    Because they try to always copy styles from Women's Magazines about some lame space fillers (but would really sell for girls. They types of "10 ways to find out if your boyfriend is gay."

    11. Would it be so awkward if I added one more?

    By all means no. I wouldn't have read your list if it was only ten. Lol.
