Now, seriously. I realize annoyance at something a lot of people like is probably not the best way to start a blog, but these things drive me nuts. Do people really find them funny?
What are “these”? These are those “Life’s Unanswered Questions” lists that are rarely unanswered and barely questions. I bet they WOULD be funny, if they were really as ironic as people act, but they aren’t. As an example, I’ve answered some of them (to the best of my limited ability) using only my common sense.
If humans evolved from monkey’s/apes, why are they still here?
If we’re being basic here, birds supposedly evolved from the same place as reptiles, both of those are still here. Also, humans didn’t evolve from monkeys, nor the apes of today. Silly question.
How come people tell you not to stand in front of an emergency exit when if there was an emergency surely you would run through it?
Because if you’re standing there and there’s a fire without you knowing it (or if you’re just slow), you’ll be trampled. People aren’t nice when they’re desperately trying to stay alive.
Does a two-humped camel store more water than a one-humped camel?
They don’t store water in their humps.
Why do sleeping pills have warning labels that state :’Caution: May Cause Drowsiness?
Because some people may think of sleeping pills as something that will help them relax, not make them drowsy. I guess some people might just read warning labels and not instructions, too.
If there’s a wheelchair-bound comedian, is it still called “stand-up”?
Not unless the person announcing them has no class.
Why are red buttons always the most important?
Red is a warning color.
Why doesn’t broccoli come in a can?
Have you ever HAD soggy broccoli? Its just a bad idea.
You get the idea. These questions aren’t funny! Some of them are good observations, sure, but they’d fit in much better with a more scientific list, rather than a funny one. Maybe a “Life’s Questions and Answers” would be more appropriate.
