As far as i can see nobody can give a good answer for Q17?
01. If all nations in the world are in debt (I am not joking. Even US has got debts), where did all the money go?
When a nation is in debt, it means the value of imports are higher than exports and unaccounted money is in the hands of the public.
02. When dog food is new with improved tasting, who tests it?
Dog tests it and wags his tail faster which is the index of its taste..:)
03. What is the speed of darkness.?
Speed of darkness = speed of light. That's because when light travels forward darkness recedes backwards.
04. If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff.?
You will never be able to fly a plane made out of thick high strength steal. It would be too heavy. Also the sleak aerodynamic design of the plane isn't good for strength.
05. Who copyrighted the copyright symbol?
Copyright symbol is not under the copyright law.
06. Can you cry under water?
Water pressure would prevent water from coming out of the tear sacs.
07. Why do people say, "you've been working like a dog" when dogs just sit around all day?
Cause it sounds well with 'sleeping like a log'..:)
08. Why are the numbers on a calculator and a phone reversed?
Just to make sure sleepy heads don't use a calculator for a phone..:)
09. Do fish ever get thirsty?
They always drink to get oxygen for their gills.
10. Can you get cornered in a round room?
Yes, if a gorilla is sharing it with me...:)
11. What does OK actually mean?
All Korrect!!
12. Why do birds not fall out of trees when they sleep?
Their balancing mechanism is at work even when they rest just like our involuntary system.
13. Which came first: the fruit or the color orange?
The fruit ofcourse.
14. If a person suffered from amnesia and then was cured would they remember that they forgot?
Yes, probably.
16. Can you blow a balloon up under water?
Yes, the pressure has to be more than the water pressure at that depth.
17. Why is it called a "Building" when it is already built?
English is funny, just as we have smelly feet and running nose when we use feet to run and nose to smell.:)
18. If you were traveling at the speed of sound and you turned on your radio would you be able to hear it?
If the radio is with me, then yes with a lot of distorted sounds.
19. If you're traveling at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on, what happens?
I wont exist at the speed of light.
20. Why is it called a TV set when there's only one?
Its a set of instruments which make viewing possible.
21. If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?
No, this is because the government has the right to mine if they find some resources there.
22. Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road?
The dial works best with minimum error when the working range is within 80% of the full scale reading. Also, test drives in the factory may need that.
posted ages ago, and BTW the answer for the first question is: CHINA
If the dog is tasting it. Then how can the manufacturer say it is improved tasting? Can they talk to the Dog? Can the Dog say this taste better than the crap you gave me before....
Come on.....
Very interesting questions.
May we have answer too?
@ fubar... i just said it's not unesco....
Let's start with question 1...
"All nations are in debt"?
Norway, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi, Iran, Macau, Brunei and about 30 other countries aren't in debt.
2 - who tests dog food? dogs, obviously.
3 - that's just stupid.
4 - the plane would be too heavy to get off the ground.
5 - UNESCO
6 - yes
7 - because some dogs traditionally worked hard
8 - because telephone keypads mimic the now outdated rotary dial systems, whereas keyboards are based on old cash registers.
9 - no
10 - metaphorically or literally?
11 - copacetic. A more interesting question is "what is the origin of the word Okay"
12 - same reason you don't fall out of bed when you are asleep.
13 - the color is generally believed to be named after the fruit.
14 - I assume that would depend on the nature of their amnesia, and the nature of their cure.
15 - ?
16 - yes.
17 - because English is not always logical.
18 - the short answer is no, because the sound waves travelling from the speakers to you would not be travelling as fast as your ears.
19 - assuming this were possible... since the light wouldn't be able to travel ahead of you and reflect back, you wouldn't even know that the lights had been switched on
20 - because in the olden days, a TV 'set' was a set - the screen, the FM received, the power supply etc, were all somewhat seperate, so the collection of appliances was considered a 'set'.
21 - depends on the jurisdiction
22 - to make you feel like you didn't waste all that money.
Let's answer a few of them... some seriously and some more funny...
1. Electronic Currency and Electronic Transactions. Makes sense doesn't it?
2. The dog, doh!!!
3. There is no light without darkness and no darkness without light... so it's safe to assume that the darkness has the same speed as the light. That is ONLY if you do not consider the lack of light - darkness.
4. The materials used for the BB are way too heavy to create a airplane that can actually fly. That's why aluminium is used.
5. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_symbol
6. of course... it's just that you will not see any tears...
7. Maybe they have been doing the same thing... therefore the expression.
8. I have no clue... and i don't really care... but i'm sure there is a reason... same reason for the keyboard layout of a notebook.
9. Doubt that...
10. No... but you can get rounded....
11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okay (i love Wiki...)
12. Cuz they are not stupid like humans...
13. My guess is the Chicken...
14. YES... amnesia represents some missing links between the neurons... once those links are repaired (synapses) the information stored in the neurons can be accessed again.
15. WHERE IS NUMBER 15?????
16. If it has air in it then YES!
17. Building can be a verb or a noun... The construction of a building (eg: process through which the building is assembled) is a verb. The building as a finished construction (the process is already completed) is a noun. Same word, 2 different meanings >>> HOMONYM
18. IF no other source for sound exists then yes (by that i mean you fly at the speed of sound but there is no other sound produced by the friction...). however that is a theoretical impossibility.
19. Absolutely NOTHING else... the headlights will illuminate your path... or mothership... w/e
20. The TV assembly is called a set. By assembly i mean all the parts and components (audio/video/electronic)
21. I don't think anyone cares about that for now... but they DO own that land at least a few kilometers underground UNLESS someone else (eg: telecom companies, water companies, train tracks) owns it.
22. You can go fast legally... not on the public roads... but you can build your own road and drive on it as fast as you car can...
Enjoy...
the egg
which comes first - the egg or the chicken..haha!
No 19: if you travel at the Speed of Light, you would not exist anymore and you won't be able to switch anything on or off. The faster you go, the more you shrink in size. At the Speed of Light your dimensions are all zero. There is nothing you can do at that stage.
16. Can you blow a balloon up under water?
03 absence of light is darkness... so question itself is a mistake :)
12 Each country has rule which states that up to certain depth the owner of land owns, below that its becomes nations resource
All the best
19 is refered to LP or Doha knights (aka knights return)
since the speed of light is constant, i believe it will not light up in front of the car. otherwise for a stationary observer the head light will be twice faster than the speed of light.
12 same reason why marine mamals don't drown when they are asleep (only half of their brain sleeps at a time, the other keeping them afloat to breath )
18 yes since radio waves travel at near the speed of light.
21 yes. and the space above it too... untill they struck oil, or want to pass the metro uncer it, it gets confiscated then!
lol at nb 7
OK = zero killed dating from the american civil war (1861-1865) daily reports for the parents of the soldiers/militiamen.
