Does a pen drive/memory stick weigh more when it's full of data?
Why is it that people who you'd imagine should be more forgiving are always the first to judge others?
If a man speaks and there's not a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
Is there another for of politics other than capitalism that's fairer on the masses but doesn't make everyone unhappy?
Why do people moan about things then not take any steps to change the circumstances?
I have loads of questions that I regularly ponder. What are your favorites? |

Why does the word 'lisp' have an s in?
How can you tell when sour cream goes bad?
What if there were no hypothetical situations?
Where would we be without rhetorical questions?
Is there another word for synonym?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? |

"Is there anything malicious about the fact that 'dyslexia' is quite a difficult word to spell?"
Is there anything malicious in the fact a stutter is called a stutter and a lisp a lisp  |

Sigh... ;*)
"Does a pen drive/memory stick weigh more when it's full of data? "
memory bits set to 0 or 1 do not incur a change in mass.
"Why is it that people who you'd imagine should be more forgiving are always the first to judge others? "
In that case your judgment of their probable reaction was at fault, not their reaction.
"If a man speaks and there's not a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong? "
He is either right or wrong, the presence or otherwise of a woman has no bearing on this, but it is likely to have a bearing on what he does say, if he is the kind of man to care what she thinks, and as such he will usually end up being seen as wrong by her.
"Is there another for of politics other than capitalism that's fairer on the masses but doesn't make everyone unhappy? "
Capitalism is not a form of politics, it is a form of monetary echange.
Democracy is a form of politics, and it is unique because it is the only form of politics that can end itself while still remaining true to its principles.
"Why do people moan about things then not take any steps to change the circumstances? "
Because people *prefer* certain levels of adversity, inequality, injustice, danger, etc etc.
Study after study has shown that drivers have individual levels of percieved safety that they are happiest at, put them in a safer car with collision avoidance and abd and airbags, they drive harder to regain that individual level of perceived safety that they prefer, put them in an old deathtrap, they drive gentler.
