thanks!

Maybe you can help me out with this one...its from my physics class (what I attended of it) and one of the things you mentioned above (speed of darkness).

If your mass increases as you approach the speed of light, why doesn't light have mass/weight?

All seriousness please...it's been bugging me for 5 years

It's a psychological effect. Pressing harder is primarily an act of desperation, because we're simply too lazy to get up.

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?

Maybe not at the time. But they know that every cent you deposit will be theirs, until the deductions equal the fee.

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Curiosity is hard-wired into the human brain. When you say there are 4 billions stars, they know they cannot really verify this for themselves. If you say the paint is wet, they will feel an overwhelming urge to verify this claim for themselves, which is basically physiologically compensating for not being able to verify the number of stars in the Universe.

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

It can, but it takes a long time. Most glues dry in the presence of air. A thin bead of glue reacts with the air relatively quickly. 8oz or so of glue also reacts with air, but 100% solidification of 8oz of glue concentrated within a small area can takes weeks. Plus the bottle is typically sealed with a cap, so that eliminates the reaction too...

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

They obtain the needles from a manufacturer. This manufacturer must sterilize the needles, because not all of them will be used for lethal injections. 99.9% of them will be used to treat medical patients.

How can the animals in The Lion King talk?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Get hit with a revolver does not pose a physical threat to Superman, but it is a distraction. Superman cannot afford distraction when any potential enemy could be wielding some Kryptonite.

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

If the aircraft encounters turbulence, it may be substantial enough to actually force the pilot out of the seat and smack his head on the ceiling. Wearing the helmet ensures maximum probability of reaching the target.

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

Note sure, but they had a pretty good sense of humor.

If light has a speed then what is the speed of darkness?

Darkness does not have a speed because it contains no photons. Light is constructed of photons, and photons have a measurable speed in a vacuum, and a little slower within the Earths atmosphere.

Are there specially reserved parking spaces for 'normal' people at the Special Olympics?

"Ape" is a generic term, and does not describe any particular species. We are but one species of ape.

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

No, they really do. Married people tend to be conservative carrying out their daily activities. Most of the time, they have responsibilities at home that single people don't. Single people understand that they have no such responsibilities and are more likely to view their own life as expendable.

It is far easier to manufacture a square box out of a single sheet of cardboard, than it is it construct a circular box out of a single sheet.

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would bea good idea to put wheels on bigger suitcases?

Going to the moon was almost an act of war, against the former Soviet Union. It took on a special urgency and importance. Other little inventions came afterwards. Today, there is far more technology in your car than there was aboard the spacecrafts used to land on the moon.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up,like, every two hours?

When babies do sleep, it is often a sound sleep. They have not yet developed the strength to toss and turn. They typically don't have enough information within their brains to suffer from nightmares. And they usually don't have much of any reason to be thinking about stress, because their isn't yet multiple substantial sources within their lives.

Both activities allow the doctor time to purge himself beforehand. Or perhaps, time to tape it down.

The technology is superior, but is isn't applied in the correct configuration to leave the Earth.
