More Obvious Questions
There are far too many questions out there in our everyday routines that need to be asked. I’m not talking about questions that will end wars, abolish poverty, cure all diseases, or eliminate the world’s problems. I’m talking about the questions that drive us crazy due to their simplicity and the questions that absolutely no one seems to be able to answer. An even greater mystery appears to be the fact that the majority of us have simply stopped questioning the obvious.
- Why is it that to stop Windows, you have to click on “Start”?
- I wonder who discovered we could get milk from cows, and what on EARTH did he think he was doing?
- Why do they call it “chili” if it’s hot?
- If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?
- What do people in China call their good plates?
- When they first invented the clock, how did they know what time it was to set it to?
- How can there be self-help “groups”?
- Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
- How do you know when you’re in the middle of nowhere?
- Why do “tug” boats push their barges?
