Random Questions: The Revenge

Marelo · 04-10-2009, 01:27 AM

Why are people so dependent on mp3 players? I accidentally separated a friend of mine from her iPod for a week, and she couldn't stop thinking about it, and said she was going crazy without it, even though she knew where it was and that it was safe.

Why is it that I had a great question when I thought to make this thread a few hours ago, but can't remember it now?

I don't have an iPod, but I know that I like to have music playing for a variety of things. I actually keep a playlist on my computer for whenever I'm playing WoW or Xbox LIVE, and am working on making a playlist tied to each game.

I have one and see everyone around me wearing one. Makes me a little worried everyone's getting a little too shut in. I've had a small group of friends walk somewhere in silence because everyone was listening to something, and that really bugged me.

Viridis gets it.

Why is it that Kansas weather is so ridiculous? Yesterday, we had 70 degree weather... and then it snowed at 1 in the morning today.

Why do people insist on having computers and high speed internet choose to remain willfully ignorant about how their shit works? I have the worst luck when it comes to callers, and I always get the biggest idiots possible. I try to be patient, but I always end up wanting to strangle someone by the end of the call.

If there's anything that tells me that the robot apocolypse will destory us all, it's when someone tries to change the channel on their television with a turnstyle telephone.

I'm guessing the same reason people use electricity or televisions or pretty much any technology ever and don't really know how they really work.

Although it is really frustrating explaining anything about computers to someone who knows nothing about them. I can understand your need to kill them. XD

If someone were sent hurtling into the sun, would they be crushed by the gravity or incinerated by the heat first?

I would imagine heat first since being on the day side of any of the inner planets without a protective atmosphere is a recepie for flash-burned lifeform.

I'm pretty sure they would die of old age... or lack of Oxygen. Seriously, there is like, totally not air between here and the sun. Put your head outside the planet, you can check it for yourself!

On a less jackassly note, The heat would do it first. It has waaay much more range.

now here is a noodle burner.... what the hell did i just typed "noodle burner"?

...ok.

Why, on Easter, people pay a lot of cash on those chocolate eggs when they could buy a LOT more chocolate with the same cash if they bought chocolate bars?
