Well they've all been covered, but I'm in a particularly pedantic mood so ...

> What's the difference between a novel and a book?

A novel is a story, usually contained within a book but not always. A novel can be represented through digital media such as in a presentation or adobe acrobat pdf file.

A book is a number of sheets of paper bound and connected by a spine.

> If someone owns a piece of land, do they own it all the way to
> the center of the earth?

Well in theory yes. People are free to mine for minerals to some quite shocking depths, provided they have the right permits ...

> In libraries, do they put the bible in the fiction or
> non-fiction section?

I know where I'd put it, but aye I think it has it's own section along with other religious mumbo-jum.... sorry ... books.

> Why do sleeping pills have warning labels that state :'Caution:
> May Cause Drowsiness?

Because a lot of people in the world are surprisingly stupid. The manufacturers have to make sure their backs are covered.

> If a king is gay and marries another guy what is that guy to the
> royal family?

A disgrace! ;) I kid!! Dunno, you've got me there ...

> Could someone be addicted to counseling? If so, how would you
> treat them?

Ween them onto daytime television ;)

> Why when people ask you "what three things would you bring
> with you on a desert island?" no one ever replies, "A
> BOAT"

Because the question is supposed to gleen some answer that illustrates what means most to you in the world and what sort of person you are, rather than some smart-aleccy(sp) answer ...

> What happens if every team in the NFL goes 8-8?

You might as well be writing in chinese to me ...

> If you dig a hole in the south pole are you digging up or down?

Seeing as down usually refers to the earth with relation to gravitational pull, it's always going to be down. North and South are magnetic polar opposites, not an indication of direction, though they are used as such.

> Why is Joey short for Joe, when Joey has more letters?

It isn't short for it, is it? the clue is in the question ;)

> How old are you before it can be said you died of old age?

I guess it's relative to the average age of death amongst the population ... if the average age of death in a country is 30, then dying at 40 is dying of old age ... no specific answer though I suppose ...

> Have ex-bankers become disinterested?

You trying to break my brain? Next!

> Why is it called 'after dark', when it is really after light?

I suppose a more accurate term would be 'after it went/goes dark' ... dunno, it's daft eh?

> Do one legged ducks swim in circles?

No idea, but I would like to find out!

> If quizzes are quizzical then what are tests?

testing

> Why is an alarm clock going "off" when it actually
> turns on?

Like a gun going off? off is used incorrectly a lot eh? Like 'I'm off now' ... how does that work?

Did I do poorly?
