OK, I'll start....have you ever wondered why dogs lick their junk? After decades of dog ownership, both male and female, I cannot for the life of me understand why dogs can spend a leisurely afternoon doing nothing but the lickity-lickity all day long.
OK guys, have at it.

- Hehe I think I will.Close, but no cigar; you may want to consider starting your weekend early while you are ahead.
Why do lady's bicycle's have low cross bars and nothing to catch.....men have high cross bars and have their crown jewels to catch.....it all went down hill from the penny farthing !05-18-12 09:57 AM - I'm glad you asked; you see, during the Victorian period, there was a shortage of wood, which at the time, was used primarily by the peasants for cooking and heating; the aristocracy, on the other hand, while they too used wood for cooking and heating, were busy building castles, horse drawn carriages, and wooden stakes (so as to burn as many witches and heretics as possible). Since Sherwood Forest was placed off limits to all logging except for the one percenters, large front wheels on a bicycle were no longer an option, so equally sized front and rear wheels became the norm...consider this man's earliest attempt at environmentalism. That said, why was a bike designed specifically for women, sans a level top tube, well, seeing that it was the Victorian period (and you do know how uptight those blokes were), it was decided that a women should be devoid of every opportunity to pleasure herself, and a women in one of those humongous bustle dresses could easily conceal her prurient interests while stopped and straddling her level top tubed bike. Hence, we have the angular, curved, and low cut bar on a woman's bike, preventing her from doing vile things to herself when cycling.

- You could; in fact, depending on what sppeed you're going, you could get there yesterday, a week ago, a month ago, etc. Now, let's make it a bit sporting, at what speed would one have to go, travelling from the east going due west, circumnavigating the earth and have you arrive at your exact starting point 24 hours ago?05-18-12 06:07 PM

Could God make a burrito so spicy that He Himself could not eat it?05-18-12 07:44 PM - Here's one....you're at, say, Home Depot, and you have a shopping cart with 20+ items in it, and another customer, who only has one packet of hearing aid batteries in her hand, asks if she could get ahead of you since she only has one item. Now, seeing as we, well, most of us, are civil, we say sure, step right ahead. OK, so far so good...you're a model citizen. Now, the lady reaches the cashier who promptly scans the small packet of batteries when all he1l breaks loose, balloons and confetti fall from the ceiling, and the loudspeakers announce that this Home Depot store has just had its one millionth cutomer, who is now the recipient of a $1,000,000.00 after taxes cash prize. What, and be honest with yourself and with us, would you do?
