Crazy Thoughts....

Just a little randomness to add to your day!

Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs.
Do Siamese twins pay for one ticket or two tickets when they go to movies and concerts?
Why are they called 'Jolly Ranchers'? Who said that the ranchers were jolly?
Why does caregiver and caretaker mean the same thing?
Can a short person "talk down" to a taller person?
If a bald person works as a chef at a restaurant, do they have to wear a hairnet?
If milk goes bad if not refrigerated, does it go bad if the cow isn't refrigerated?
How fast do hotcakes sell?
Do prison buses have emergency exits?
Do astronauts change their clocks when they move over different time zones in space?
Can you cry under water?
Why Does Pluto Live in a dog house, eat dog food, etc. but Goofy, who is also a dog, lives in a condo and drives a car?
If you blew a bubble in space would it pop?
Are children who use sign language allowed to talk with their mouth full?

okay, let me set this straight for ya...

1. The Easter Bunny is just the distributor, not the manufacturer - the eggs are actually made in China.
2. It depends.
3. Apparently you haven’t me "those ranchers"
4. Semantics and PC (like "no, I’m a sanitation engineer")
5. Step stool, hello.
6. No, chefs don’t wear hair nets, they wear toques (that’s an okie for ya)
7. Cows are cool, need I say more?
8. "Hot cakes cooked in bear grease or pork lard were popular from earliest times in American. First made of cornmeal, the griddle cakes or pancakes were of course best when served piping hot and were often sold at church benefits, fairs, and other functions. So popular were they that by the beginning of the 19th century 'to sell like hot cakes' was a familiar expression for anything that sold very quickly effortlessly, and in quantity." From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997)
9. No, they are set to explode upon any sign of mechanical failure.
10. Of course, that would be unsanitary if they didn’t!
11. Yes, but its very dangerous and requires years special training
12. that’s your question? The real question is, why does Donald talk with a duck like sound, but not Scrooge, Daisy, Huey, Duey, or Louie?
13. lets examine…
bubble gum was invented in 1928 by Walter Diemer, an accountant from Philadelphia. The difference between bubble gum and chewing gum is the gum base. Chewing gum base is a natural gum called chicle harvested from the sap of a tropical tree called a sopapilla tree. This kind of gum is chewy but it will not blow a large bubble. Bubble gum base, on the other hand, is a mixture of starches and polymers made in a laboratory and specially formulated to blow bubbles. The biggest bubble ever, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, was 22 inches in diameter, 1 1/2 times the size of a large pizza. Only 2 percent of North American fourth-graders can blow a double bubble, a bubble inside a bubble. A "triple whammy" is a bubble inside a bubble inside a bubble. Chewing gum burns about 11 calories per hour. That being said… In space, there is no pressure. There are no air molecules in space to push anything. So if you try to blow a bubble in space nothing will happen. The air molecules inside the bubble have nothing to push against so the bubble will pop before it starts to form. The bubble can only exist when there is equal pressure inside and out.

14. no, that would be gross. They could sign with their mouth full, but at the table, in my experience, just leads to spilled milk.

and that's it, bro. I hope you've learned something and most importantly, remembered to laugh a little.
