    They aren't real mysteries - all answerable..

    But how does the snowplough driver get to work in the morning ?
    How come the hair on your head keeps growing but on the rest of your body it only gets to a certain level ...

    Why do sky divers and parachutists wear helmets? If their chute fails to open do they really think it will help?

    if I tell a man that there are over 100 billion stars in the night sky, he'll believe me without question. But if I say to him, "don't touch that door, the paint is still wet", as sure as the sky is blue, he'll touch it!

    Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a black crisp that no human being would want to eat?

    Why is there a light in the refrigerator but not in the freezer?


    In the words of Billy Connelly:

    Why do aeroplanes have seatbelts in them?

    When was the last time you heard a news story where they said:
    "Today a plane crashed into a building,luckily all the passengers were wearing seat belts.."

    and why do they call it a tv set when you only get one?

    It keeps their hair neat.... obviously.

    It's a kind of will-I-won't-I decision as to weather I'll attempt to answer them all seriously... I'm strangely compelled to for some reason.

    Because even if they do land safely, they could fall, trip, or have to roll to absorb impact energy and possibly bang their head on the ground while doing so.

    1) Can cook more than just toast in a toaster, their probably jus twaiting for something that takes that long to cook :)
    2) Incase of very strong turbulance, or incase they have to do a crash landing, a seatbelt could help, hit a building you go splat tho.

    :p

    all men have nipples because all foetuses in the womb are female up until sex weeks, so it must be part of the development process I think ?

    have you ever seen the sweetest thing?

    aeroplanes have seatbelts so that when theres bad turbulence you dont fly out of your seat. also it makes them slightly less liable when the plane crashes.

    actually why the hell dont buses have seatbelts??????????

    In the adult male, the dormant glands can still be revived by a sufficient dose of estrogen. Actual lactation is rare--only a couple cases have been recorded. But at least one writer (Daly, 1978) has suggested that the "physiological impediments to the evolution of male lactation do not seem individually surmountable." Meaning we may yet see the dawn of the truly liberated household.

    So men can stay at home and breast feed their young apparently :p
