    Life's Little Conundrums aka Unanswerable Questions
    In the UK they are trying to recruit more teachers.
    This advert features some children posing some potentioanlly unanswerable questions.
    This got me to thinking, with the wealth of knowledge here can we answer any of them ?

    Ok here's some of them I can remember:

    1. Why's the sky blue? - OK that's an easy one to start with.
    2. As the Universe is expanding, what is it expanding into ?
    3. What was the best thing before sliced bread ?
    4. As insects out number us by several million to one, why aren't we up to our armpits in bodies ?
    5. Where do flies go in winter ?
    6. Why are they called a pair of trousers when there is only one ?


    While typing this I've found an amazing site with a whole bunch of these type of questions.
    They're Here

    Now can we answer them or do you have any others?

    Never mind answering them for just a memento, please... I just like the word conumdrum LOL errmm comumdrun errrm whatever!!, isn't it a doosie!? :p
    I wonder who thinks up words like that?

    And as for the sky being blue, I have long wondered how it manages to fade to the black of outer space for the astronauts, or does it even? If I ever meet one, I intend on asking that question!
