  1. Why do I aim the remote at the TV when it’s the cable box that changes the channel?

  2. “Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up every two hours?”

    Why yes . . . . yes I do sleep like a baby . . . .

  3. I wondered even as a kid about Tarzan. Raised by apes and the only people he had contact with were the natives of the area, yet when Jane showed up he spoke English. And when the first newspaper men intervied him that has his name. He told them Tarzan. What was his last name the wanted to know. No last name he told them. They then ask about Jan. They wanted to know Jane’s whole name. Tarzan said, ‘Jane’s hole name Pussy.’ True!

  4. “Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?”

    I don’t believe the first claim, since I know there are at least(observable universe) 100 billion galaxies that each contain on average about 100 billion stars. That’s about 10 sextillion stars.

  5. “Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up every two hours?”

    By that definition, I’m sleeping like a baby. 🙁

  6. Coffeypot – go find a copy of TARZAN of the Apes (original copyright 1912) and all of your questions will be answered…………..

  7. Anonymous, I have read the book…as an adult. It was as a kid that I had the questions…and no local access to a library either.

  9. “Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?”

    Two reasons. First, it’s possible to verify the answer. Second, whether there’s 40 thousand, 4 billion, or 400 quintillion stars, it just doesn’t affect your life. Wet paint will get on your clothes.
