My BIGGEST question of ALL TIME since I was little is ths:

So where is the end of the Universe? Like are you flying along in a space ship and then BOOM you hit a wall and you're like all startled and stumped and is that it? Is that the end of the Universe? I can't imagine infinity. Infinity has to end sometime...everything else does afterall.

How many licks DOES it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop??? The owl said that the world may never know, but I am sure someone must have tried it (and no, not three!)

Yeah it goes like this.

Every five years have the same two numbers

1st grade, 6 years
6th grade, 11 years
11th grade, 16 years
16th year in school, 21 years
Every 5 years the numbers 1 and 6 switch around, and starting w/ 2nd grade, the numbers 2 and 7 switch around every 5 years, and so on.

This should be true for anyone who has a summer birthday.

I know, I'm a dork for thinking of something like that.

Now that's just silly!

DigitalAngel-Who the hell is "They"???! They are the eggmen, but who really is the walrus???

I always wondered how (THEY) know that animals are color blind? TOM- I swear, I've wondered the same thing!!

Is the pet psychic for real???

No answer to this, but when I was little, I always wondered what it would be like if I wasn't "born" me. Would I still be me?

For example, my shirt is orange and we both recognize the color of my shirt as orange, but is the orange you see actually red and the orange I see see actually blue? We both call the color of my shirt orange, but we each see it as a different color, but don't know b/c to both of us, this is orange. Get me? Hope I made sense.

I have wondered the exact same thing! Glad to know I'm not the only one.

lol. i have tried it and it takes somewhere between 5 or 6 hundred. i can't really remember because it was way back in my freshman year of high school.

so here's my newest question: why is it called the news if somethings in the news happened a while ago? shouldn't they be called the olds in those cases?

Of course, you'd have to be all scientific about it. Did you lick bottom to top? Half way? All around? If you licked from the very bottom to the very top, then it should take about 1000 half licks, right?

It's "new" to the people hearing it. And if you've already heard it, then don't listen -- it wasn't intended for you.

When we get upset what makes us use BIBLICAL CHARACTERS?

It's the DEVIL, I'll tell ya'.

In second grade some one said news was N,E,W,S for North East South and West. Ie. the news happened all around. I think that's a BS answer. He should have researched it more.

I like to imagine that butterflies and birds cause the wind. It's nicer that way...

I say East is "out there" and West is "back there"

WHY do you get tongue tied around a person you have the hots for, and end up showing the worst, dorkiest version of your usual "Cool as a cucumber" (BTW, how cool is a cucumber?) self??? Why can't be yourself???

A related question. Why are you kind of mean to guys you like? Why are you sometimes mean to people you like platonically? Weird.
