This thread is the mountain where on its highest peak sits the all knowign wise guru.

You are waiting in line to ask him one perfect question.

Then you realize the person in front of you asks something stupid. Since it takes two days for the Guru to answer a question, you decided to speed things up by answering the previous question first, then ask your own question.

Then some know-it-all behind you interupts to answer your question.

Who ever is last gets there question answered by the all knowing Guru.

I ask first: "Why is the sky blue."

Next person asnwers my question, and gets to ask one of their own.

(PS Answers need not be accurate, only fun)
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
Dan, the sky is blue because if it were not blue, it would be some other color.

Why am I here?
 
Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :
 
Realize that it is you spinning and not the rest of the world.

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :
 
A check in the hand is worth six papers in Washington.

None of your business, but if you must know, its a self actualizing stem-bolt.

When you reach true wisdom, you will know that nothing makes sense.

Why, with 500 channels on TV, is there nothing good to watch?
 
Posted by dh (Member # 6929) on :
 
When something is no good to begin with, adding more of it is not the solution.

Why?
 
Posted by Vadon (Member # 4561) on :
 
Because there is no right or wrong, just another choice and path.

What is the truth and why, Religion or Atheism?

Why did the chicken cross the road?
 
Posted by Vadon (Member # 4561) on :

Why didn't you ask a question?
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
Because he hates this thread.
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
There's no such thing as a good question (see previous posts).

Why are you trying to derail the thread?
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
So no one accidentally stumbles on the real secret of the universe.

Well, everything tastes like chicken, you know...oh, you said FOUL, not FOWL! I dunno, then.

Dan, you just couldn't help yourself, and that's OOOOO-KAAAAAY.

Why is it that when I desperately need to sleep, I can't...but when I need to stay awake to do work, I doze off instantly?
