Re: Unanswerable Questions!!

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.

Re: Unanswerable Questions!!

If a person comes up to you and says, "Everything I tell you is a lie." Is he lying or telling the truth?

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?

Re: Unanswerable Questions!!

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.

Thats not the point!

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.
