    Yay! Another long post game!

    Poster above asks a question. Poster below makes up a (wrong) answer, then asks a new question. Repete ad infinum.

    Example:

    Why can't pyrokinetics manipulate non-incendiary heat as well as flames?

    Because pyrokinetics have been a bit clumsy ever since that little accident a few years back.

    Why do dogs nails stay out while cats can retract their claws?

    Because dogs never got around to applying for the permits you need for carrying concealed weapons.

    how does the TV work? 

    2007-07-02 15:28:43.0

    There are miniature people inside the TV playing out different roles.

     Why is it hot in the summer?

    2007-07-02 15:31:46.0

    Because that's when people like to go jogging. And, as you know, exercise produces heat that's why you sweat. If more people jogged in the winter we wouldn't have seasons.

    Why does my internet connection slow down sometimes? 

    2007-07-02 15:36:44.0

    How come the guy who invented hammocks isn't revered as the greatest genius of all time?

    2007-07-03 10:06:47.0

    Because it was a woman who invented hammocks; she is despied by housewives everywhere who wish their husbands would get out of the darn thing and mow the lawn.

    Why is the moon inching away from the Earth?

    Because they broke up.

    Why is everything so expensive?

    2007-07-03 11:20:02.0

    When you look at things from a constant monetary perspective, you'll see that the real dollar cost of items are not as expensive as they appear.  For example, if you hold the world steady at 1983 dollars and use the average cost basis for indexing (as is typical in a supercillious mutual fund) the rate of inflation is actually negative for certain markets such as chewing gum and balsamic vinegar while for other markets, such as ironic comments and rear-facing child seats, a rate cannot be determined due to the abstract intangibleness of the international exchange rates (Australian to American dollars).  When you counter balance the multiplier effect of one dollar with the compound interest of a shilling found in your left shoe, you can easily deduce why it appears you have insufficient funds.  In short, the rich get richer and you get poorer.

    Why is yellow the safest color for a car? 

    2007-07-03 11:31:35.0

    what evolutionary purpose does it serve for human fertility to be concealed? (Other animals can tell when the females are in season)

    2007-07-03 12:15:54.0

    Because some people are ugly, so it's necessary to trick lovers into procreation.

    Why is the majority of an iceberg under water? 

    2007-07-03 12:31:59.0

    Icebergs are actually the vessels of the creatures from Titan, the moon of Saturn.  They are under water to conceal the vast weaponry they will unleash upon the Earth.  Fortunately time goes really slow for Titans, so we are good for the near future.

    why do i always bite my nails? 

    2007-07-03 14:30:19.0

    Human nails produce small quantities of narcotics.  Nail-biters are on the fast track to becoming drug addicts.  Soon you will be asking to bite your friends nails, strangers nails on the street and even dog's nails (although that wouldn't work because dog nails produce depressants).

    Why would you answer this question with a one-liner?

    Why does the universe suck? 

    2007-07-03 19:10:56.0

    It all started with the Big Bang.  The Big Bang began a period of expansion of the Universe and for quite a long time, it was good.  Unfortunately for you, the Universe is now contracting, resulting in all matter being sucked back to the origin of the Big Bang.

    Why is evil so much more fun than good?

    2007-07-03 23:56:07.0

    good lost its appeal when charities started doing it and had to bug everyone for mony as a side-effect, now we're all subconsciously programmed to do evil so we don't have to annoy people like that

    why can I never think of any questions? 

    2007-07-04 04:49:40.0

    Because all the good questions are getting used in the wish game

    WHy 42 not 46?

    2007-07-04 10:22:35.0

    because 46 is evil - if you divide 4 by 6 you get 2/3 or 0.666.. which is clearly an ancient hebrew code for the name of the antichrist

    even if you know about it actually being 616 due to some slip in translation, you can get that by subtracting the 6 from the middle digit of 666 (which we got above) to make 606, then adding on the result of dividing 46 by itself (again to the middle digit)

    see, numerology says 46 is evil, whereas with 42, 4 divide by 2 is 2 and 2 divide by 4 is 0.5, if you take the 2.5 you get by adding them, multiply it by the 2 and add on another 2, then you get 7, which is a lucky number, and the number of days in the week, the only number less evil than 7 is 3, which just happens to be right in the middle of 4 and 2 (coincidence?!?!?)

    Why is the sea salty? 

    2007-07-05 01:21:47.0

    What makes a table a table?

    2007-07-05 02:14:53.0

    Philosophers are split into two camps on this matter and a heated debate rages.  On the one side are the Empiricalists, who insist it is the flat surface and three or more legs that make the table.  On the other side are the Spiritualists, who insist it is the way a table is used (having dinner, doing homework, etc.) that makes a table a table.  One of Decartes earliest works put forth a third vision of table philosophy (or mensasophy as it is known to specialists in the field) that foreshadowed his famous "I think therefore I am" treatise, claiming that a table is a table as proof of God's existence, but modern philosophers do not put much stock into this theory.

    The Wikipedia page on mensasophy is a well known example of a wiki war, with the Empiricalists and Spiritualists constantly defacing the page to advance their point of view at the expense of the opposite camp.  So fierce is the battle that Wikipedia has had to suspend edits to the page multiple times.  It is currently so suspended, but unfortunately not before a teenager from Michigan posted "mensasophy is suxor, go wolverines".  It is not known if the offender is an Empiricalist or a Spiritualist.

    You are not addicted to the games, just the sight of your own typed words.

    Why do flowers smell? 

    2007-07-05 10:22:14.0

    When designing the Universe, God realized that there would be a need for perfumes and the like.  Thus He spent many long hours designing things that smell.  The first few attempts were not very successful (witness skunks and Mick Jagger) but He kept at it.  The next few attempts were an improvement (witness mint and limes) but not quite what He needed.  He finally struck at flowers; the unfortunate side affect was that bees were now attracted to the plants.  The bees would attack the people harvesting the flowers to make the perfume.  So He added pollen to the flowers to appease the bees.

    Why would God strike dead anyone who does not use proper capitalization when referring to Him? 

    2007-07-05 10:28:42.0

    Because god is a wuss. (c'mon god, give us your  best sh......)

    Why in the northern hemisphere is it hotter in summer, yet the sun is farther away?

    (or if that is the otherway'round, why that?) 

    2007-07-06 01:53:39.0

    While the sun is further away from the Earth during the summer in the northern hemisphere, it does burn hotter during that time of year.  The little hamsters that power the sun are fed fruit during the summer months, as opposed to the grain they get during the winter months, and work harder because of it.

    Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?  (Apologies to George Carlin.)

    How come some people can't smell certain types of grapefruit?

    What makes hail?

    2007-07-08 17:50:51.0

    Hail is caused by airplanes strafing the tops of tall mountains.  Local govenrments usually contract out for hail when it is advantageous to them.  E.g., if they need to cause a little havoc in an area, or provide cover for some nefarious operations.  Private citizns will sometimes order the hail themselves, but this is ill-advised unless you have bribed the appropriate government officials.

    2007-07-09 17:37:38.0

    I is involved in a complex conspiracy against l, by impersonating l, I is trying to bring l's name into disrepute so that all the other letters will throw l out of the alphabet and I can take l's place, which is a better place than I has right now because it's closer to m. All the letters love m

    why do people ever bother putting chocolate on things (e.g. fruit, biscuits, wafers) when its clear that the thing is just a vehicle for moving chocolate into the mouth - why not just have a bar of chocolate?

    2007-07-18 10:31:09.0

    Chocolate is like a badly trained, or just bad, actor. And like all badly trained, or just bad, actors, it "needs its medium" in which to express and convey  itself to its audience.  This is why great chocolate ends up on poor incidental products, like biscuits (see Brazil, Spain and Portugal). Just as great actors end up making sh**ty films. Or conversely, really poor chocolate ends up on really great scripts.

    Why does the phone book not list the number for "The International Date line"?

    2007-08-08 04:10:05.0

    Back in the early forties the phone book did list the international date line.  Unfortunately it caused no end of confusion as WWII wives attempted to use it to connect to their GI husbands.  At that point most of the participants on the date line were Japanese men.  Husbands in Allied countries were understandably upset at this situation and FDR ordered the phone companies to delist the line as a matter of national security.

    There have been sporadic attempts to get the date relisted since that time.  It actually came closest to happening during the Nixon administration after a decade of lobbying by the free love crowd.  Rumor has it that one of the reasons Nixon went to China was to gauge the effects of the International Date Line.  After crossing it twice, Nixon was all for it.  However, the Nixon administration became embroiled in scandal shortly afterwards before the policy could be enacted.

    The current climate in America is as cold to the relisting as at any point since WWII.  Since the delisting occurred as a national security act, and the Bush administration is as focused on national security as possible, opposition to the relisting goes all the way to the Oval Office.  Future prospects are not bright either, as Clinton has come out against the listing (after a lifetime of keeping the number from her husband, it is no wonder), while Romney is against it on religious reasons, Guiliani on nuisance grounds and McCain because he hasn't forgiven his captors.

    Why are celebrities celebrated?

    2007-08-14 23:45:24.0

    Does genuis require a certain amount of madness?

    2007-08-15 00:10:37.0

    God yes. But it balances out. Child prodigies usually end up  as screwed-up (ie: normal) adults. And Genius is a short lived thing, Einstein, in his second half of life never stopped pursuing the wonder of his youth. Plainly mad.

    I have two brothers who are geniuses,  yet both  plainly missing from  their respective home worlds.

    (That actually might be the right answer)

    Who?

    2007-08-15 00:39:46.0

    Surely, for what is genius but a profound deviation from the norm, a concept that is regarded as madness unless beneficial.

    2007-08-15 01:15:01.0

    They anticipated running out of water cos of global warming...

    Why couldn't they just use cologne?

    2007-08-15 01:32:24.0

    But the Huns were never a threat to the Chinese, as such.

    More to Rome, who had the running water, for baths at least.

    They couldn't use Cologne because it came from Germany, which was not in the Empire.

    Why was "Baden Baden" called that when Bath was simply called "Bath"

    If all the people in the world were to die together who would go to their funerals?

    2007-08-30 03:06:29.0

    If everyone left the planet on space ships taking food, supplies and equipment with them, by how much would it change the earth's mass and therefore it's gravity? Enough to disturb it's orbit?

    2007-08-30 03:12:07.0

    That would depend on the type of equipment and supplies they took with them.  For example if evry group of 4.2 people were to take enough copper piping (including solder, joints and fixings) to plumb up a new home then that would be considerably different to them taking the alternative plastic ones.  If they were also to take other fixtures and fittings made from traditional materiels (the copper piping and say, a steel bath instead of fibre-glass for example plus hot water tank etc) then it is likely that enough of the heavy metals on the earth would be removed to cause a significant change of mass.  You's also have to consider other stuff other than plumbing materiels.  The space-ships.  What would they be constructed from?  Would they have tons of uranium for their nuclear power plants and so on...  Food.  If you take live food, such as cattle, the grazing meadows would have to be enormous to support them and then there is the fields for growing crops.  The variables to consider here are quite numerous and highly complex. The question does not offer enough detail to give a precise answer.

    On the basis that you are female and that if I could answer that question you might suppose that I would be able to discover what was going on in the female mind in general.  That would make me very rich.  I'm not rich so it figures that the activities within your mind are quite private to you.

    Why are people so abrasive?

    2007-08-31 05:04:08.0

    This is only since the time of Jesus so it is a recent evolutionary thing.  When people start to get towards the age where they need to start work something strange happens to their skin and it becomes naturally abrasive.  Evolution, it has been shown, can take place through physical or mental changes and the stories of Jesus have been rammed down the throats of the supposed "Christian world" for the last 2000 odd years.  Since he was a Carpenter, it stood to reason that having a part of your body evolve to become a ready-made tool would be a good idea.  So it's simply your skin becoming like sand-paper (a tool used by all Carpenters).  Eventually the evolution "rubbed off" to the rest of humanity...

    Why am I losing my voice when I barely talk?

    2007-09-03 01:45:05.0

    It's back to that evolution thing again.  You don't exercise your vocals and your body thinks that you've stopped needing them.  Eventually you'll lose the ability to talk.  - Which would give you a major attribute towards being a perfect woman Laughing

    I can't access the "Last Post" thread.  Why am I not concerned?

    2007-09-03 02:09:22.0

    It's that evolution thing again. You are no longer concerned, which indicates that your failure to use the Last Post thread has caused you to lose the ability to do so, and so you will soon lose the will to win, and soon after,  the will to live. You are not concerned because you are suffering DNA restructuring. You should be concerned otherwise you may soon be dead. See a good doctor.

    Did any of that make any sense?

    2007-09-03 02:34:11.0

    Why are Tangler named Tangler?

    2008-01-16 07:21:52.0

    Tangler was conceived and founded by the late Edmund "Tangler" Sassbottom, the infamous Australian wallaby wrestler.  Edmund earned his nickname in 1983 when he wrestled 37 separate wild animals in consecutive matches, including 11 species of wallabies, a kangaroo, a platypus and a camel.  His record in the matches was 29-8 and was not surpassed until Lillian "Rattler" Flatnostril ran a record of 32-7 against a lineup featuring crocodiles, peacocks and three-toed sloth.

    Sassbottom entered the computer industry following a terrific accident in 1989 when attempting to parachute with a live ferret in his trousers resulting in the loss of one foot.  Edmund showed an unexpected talent for business and managed to stay ahead of the curve and his competitors with unlikely titles such as "Word Processing for Shepherds", "Outback Defragging" and "World of WallabyCraft".

    Eventually Sassbottom recognized the huge potential of Web 2.0 and social networking sites and conceived Tangler.  As is common in programming circles, he died of a caffeine overdose following a marathon coding session in 2005.  Our own dekrazee1 picked up the torch and made sure that Edmund's vision would not die with him.
