Unanswerable Questions!!
 
Does anyone have any questions that are either confusing or unaswerable?
I have come across some questions that have confused me a lot. If you have any, please put them here.
Ill start with an example...

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

If quitters never win and winners never quit, does it make sense to quit while you're ahead?

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

...I used to have a list. I'll see if I can find it.

This one is personal to me: If air travel is so safe, why is the place you leave from called the terminal?

Some old ones...

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Why are there Interstate highways in Hawaii?

If you arrest a mime, do you have to tell him he has the right to remain silent?

Here's some old ones too:
*Why is a boxing ring square?
*Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
*Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?
Just to put a few.

Believe it or not there is an anwser to that. The most credible pshyics say that they can never use their power for their personal gain. They can only use it to help others. Also, most psyhics don't predict the future. They usually have the ability to communicate with the dead. I have my own unanswered questions. I picked Nobel as my confirmation name. I thought it would be a nice idea since he was a scientist and all. A few monthes later I discovered that we were born on the same day.

Okay, new one: if you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

I would've asked what the sound of one hand clapping is, but Bart Simpson answered that one pretty well.

that doesnt really work, because anything you say could, and theoretically based on the nature of the question, would, be the correct answer. with mine there is no possible correct answer.
