the just plain random questions thread

<p>for any random question that pops up, but please don't turn it into any kind of dating/relationship thread...they get enough dedication as it is :p</p>

<p>here's mine: why do some people have pointy upper canine teeth that are longer than their other teeth (like me) and some people have flat ones that are the same length as the rest of their upper teeth (like my friend Erin)</p>

<p>I would say because she grinds her teeth or just because. But I would go with the grinding, a lot of people grind their teeth in their sleep and don't even know it.</p>

<p>ahhh that makes chills run down my back :( thanks for the answer though</p>

<p>yeah it's not too good. Random question: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to listen... does it make a sound?</p>

<p>i love that question! It's so debatable!</p>

<p>what came first the chicken or the egg?</p>

<p>well breakfast is before lunch.....</p>

<p>sound (n.)</p>

<p>a. Vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing.</p>

<p>b. The sensation stimulated in the organs of hearing by such vibrations in the air or other medium.</p>

<p>guess it depends on whether you go wi/ choice a or choice b</p>

<p>why do we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway...i know, i know, very old...</p>

<p>the egg came first obvioulsy, because dinosaurs were around before chickens and they layed eggs ha I learned how to beat that question.</p>

<p>lol, logistics...that is awesome!! the part about lunch and breakfast, that is</p>

<p>the parkway one was the thought of the day in calc a couple weeks ago :D</p>

<p>is GOD NOWHERE or NOW HERE ?</p>

<p>Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers, and people who ride bikes cyclists?</p>

<p>well bike and cycle are like synonyms. you could call it a motorbike and a bicycle and it makes sense</p>

<p>Fanee Doolee loves carrots, but hates vegetables....why do you think that is ? (Gotta love the zoomers)</p>

<p>a carrot is a root not a veggie</p>

<p>or is that a tuber?</p>

<p>Bikes were originally cycles.
The last name was probably a fad arising from a name contraction/adaptation like all else in the 1950s.</p>

<p>Is a tomato a fruit or vegetable?</p>

<p>tomato is a fruit man, everyone knows that.</p>

<p>What is the difference between Chinese cabbage and Western cabbage?</p>
