technically the universe isn't everything. It is finite, and could be expanding. At least that's my knowledge.

HA!! I answered one of your questions, which means these questions aren't unanswerable, which means this topic is pointless...

But then, we all knew that, didn't we?

EDIT- you can only shoot tartan wearers in York, with a crossbow (or longbow?) and after 10 o clock at night

> Why is a boxing ring square? The name ring is an atavism from when contests were fought in a roughly drawn circle on the ground, the name ring continued with the Jack Broughton rules (1743) specifying a small circle in the centre of the fight area where the boxers met at the start of each round. The first square ring was introduced by the Pugilistic Society in 1838, the ring was specified as 24 feet square and bound by two ropes.

Not unless the other personalities are agaisnt it

Because it explaisn what one is

It's not really, it's just a phrase

then what is
> the opposite of progress?

You know what, I don't know. Backwards

> Why is a boxing ring square?

Because if it was a ring, there would be no red and blue corners.

OK.

> If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

Bottles

> So what's the speed of dark?

Nothing, because dark doesn't travel at a speed, it's what you get if there's no light, funnily enough.

> After eating, do amphibians need to wait an hour before getting OUT
> of the water?

What if they eat whilst out of the water, like a frog?

> Why don't they just make mouse-flavored cat food?

Because it's harder to catch mice and make meat from them than it is to kill a cow?

> Why for many does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?

Because the thingies under our skin are being burned, but your hair is trying to reflect the light.

> If you're sending someone some Styrofoam, what do you pack it in?

A box.

> Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?

They don't.

No.

> Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

No

> If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Because it's illegal

> Isn't Disney World a people trap operated by a mouse?

No

> Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have an
> "s" in it?

Probably Gods.

> Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Because it's not being dried up by air because there's less air than glue in the bottle

> Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people
> appear bright until you hear them speak?

No

> How come abbreviated is such a long word?

To contrast abbriviations

> If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as
> cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

Anyone who says "twice as cold" is an idiot. I can just imagine it "And tommrrow, in the Highlands, it'll be twice as cold as it was today), but an educated guess would tell me approximately.
In Celcius though, I'd say approximately -133.5 degrees celcius

> Why do you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery
> is dead?

I don't, I may press more in case the TV did't pick up the signal, but harder?

> Why are they called buildings, when they're already finished?
> Shouldn't they be called builts?

Because their name isn't a verb, it's a noun

> Why are they called apartments, when they're all stuck together?

Dunno, I didn't come up with the name

> Why is a person who invests our money called a broker?

It's short for stock brokers

> Why do banks charge you a "non-sufficient funds fee" on

Ask a bank manager

> is expanding, what is it expanding into?

Everything

> If you got into a taxi and the driver started driving backward, would
> the taxi driver end up owing you money?

No, it's charged on the time spent in teh taxi, not how far you go or where you go, so the faster they go, the less they charge

> Why don't psychics win all of the lotteries?

Maybe they do

> What would a chair look like if your knees bent the other way?

Probably like a bed on a diagonal, so that you don't have to bend them, or you'd just sit on your calves rather than your bum.

Yes.

> Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?

Define what colour orange is.

> When two airplanes almost collide why do they call it a near miss??
> It sounds like a near hit to me!!

Becaus ethey were near each otehr, but they missed

> Do fish get cramps after eating?

No

> Why is bottled lemon juice made with artificial flavors but dish
> washing liquid made with "real" lemons?

Because the artificial flavours give it a better taste, and the real lemons give it a nicer smell, and teh citric acid kills germs.

> Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?

Because there's more than 4 and less than 6?

> Why do they call it the Department of Interior when they are in
> charge of everything outdoors?

Because it sounds funky.

> Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?

They're searching thrugh old stuff to put it together and work it out.

> If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

Food

> When I erase a word with a pencil, where does it go?

What do you mean erase it with a pencil? You mean erase something written with a pencil? That's easy, look at the little pits of eraser that fall off, they're all black becasue that's where it went. Shock horror

> Why is it, when a door is open it's ajar, but when a jar is open,
> it's not a door?

Because a jar is when it's slightly open, and more than just a door can be ajar, a window, for example. Plus, adoor sounds retarded.

> Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he'll believe you.
> Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it.

Idon't have to touch it. But I'm just a boy. Maybe i'll get get retarded as I grow up.

> How come Superman could stop bullets with his chest, but always
> ducked when someone threw a gun at him?

He doesn't want to hurt the gun

> Why buy a product that it takes 2000 flushes to get rid of?

You don't want rid of it?

> Why do we wait until a pig is dead to "cure" it?

It's tastier.

> Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them?

Because they get wet, and the water makes it smell. We wash them so they don't smell.

> Why do we put suits in a garment bag and put garments in a suitcase?

A suit is a garment. Shock horror.

We've been here already

> Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?

No

> What do little birdies see when they get knocked unconscious?

Nothing.
