When you are bored just think about a few things that don't make sense ...like ;
??
1. If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?
2. Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C?
3. Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?
4. Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V?
5. Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It just takes 75-100 years to fully work.
6. Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty.
7. The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims"
8. 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.
9. If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When", you get the answer to each of them.
Four great confusions still unresolved
1. At a movie theatre, which arm rest is yours?
2. If people evolve from monkeys, why are monkeys still around?
3. Why is there a 'D' in fridge,
but not in refrigerator?
4. Who knew what time it was when the first clock was made?
We can never find the answers, can we?
So just enjoy the pun and fun of the English language!!
Have a great day ahead..... |

If only I could recall more than about 2% of the Linguistics degree I took I'd be able to answer no. 4 properly! It's something to do with a phoneme (sound) heard in Old English speech which was literally transcribed (i.e. written) as a double V, like this 'VV', or sometimes 'UU' (because of their similar shape), which in time developed into the 'w' we see today. Or something like that anyway. |

I'm also going to be really pedantic here - sorry! - and take issue with no. 8 because it certainly wasn't the case that everyone had horses 100 years (or more) ago albeit there were obviously a lot more horses around. Unless you were rich and kept horses for pleasure or personal transport, the average man or woman in the street would be very unlikely to own one especially when many people were barely able to house themselves adequately let alone stable a horse too. The vast majority of horses were working animals used on farms, for haulage, for public transport, in mines, on canals, for transportation and battle by armies and 101 other uses. |

Then I'll do the same with the monkey one. Lol
We didn't evolve from them. Monkeys apes and humans all evolved from one monkey/ape type creature and all evolved differently. Same way not all dogs look like wolves |

Yes that's pedantic |

To be pedantic. Surely the apes of today will evolve into humans but what will humans evolve into.. ? |

I guess the answer to No1 on the unresolved list must depend on which side of the theatre you sit!?! If the outside seat by the aisle is on the right then it's the right arm and vice versa. In theatres which have a middle seating section and aisles either side then one lucky person the middle may have two armrests ... |

Technically, humans are apes anyway but I accept most of us think of gorillas, orangutans, chimps etc when we use the word. We all - humans and apes - evolved from some sort of ape type ancestor *millions* of years ago with different apes in different parts of the world evolving down their own path to became what we recognise today due to a whole heap of factors. As evolution is constant, in another 10 million years it's entirely possible humans will be unrecognisible, ditto gorillas etc. But whatever they look and behave like gorillas won't have become humans as their evolutionary history is different to that of humans if that makes sense? They'll be something *other*. Assuming the Earth is still capable of supporting those kind of life forms by then anyway ... |

in other words the natural process of evolution |

Errr yes. I was simply trying to explain that apes won't evolve into humans, as had been suggested before. |

Fair point. I think we will morph into artificial intelligence and become half machine and half human |
