  • You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes? Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same material?

  • Why isn't palindrome spelled the same way backwards?

  • Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

  • If someone invented instant water, what would they mix it with?

  • Why is brassiere singular and panties plural?
