Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
I’m lucking out with blogs all over the place today. Insane Random Ramblings (dontcha just love the name?!) has multiple “responses” to the chicken riddle, depending on the “responder.” A few of my faves:
Pat Buchanan: To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American.
Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I’ll find out.
Richard M. Nixon: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road.
Jerry Seinfeld: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn’t anyone ever think to ask, “What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place anyway?”
Dirk Gently (Holistic Detective): I’m not exactly sure why, but right now I’ve got a horse in my bathroom.
The last one is my favourite. If you don’t know who Dirk Gently is, I highly recommend that you read Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams (of Hitchhiker’s Guide fame).
Things That Make You Ask Why???
I came across this highly amusing list on My Thought, Ideas and Ramblings. Here are a few of my favourites:
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn’t glue stick to the bottle?
Whose idea was it to put an “S” in the word “lisp”?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
