Questions and Answers

[Haden]

Ok this thread is about questions in life that are somewhat off-beat or you wouldn't ask in real life. It is a light hearted thread so please if someone posts something subjective like Why are the Foo Fighters so good? Dont reply with they are shit just like your face!

The idea of the thread is to reply to the questions of above posters that you have any knowledge about or intrest in and then pose some of your own, hopefully it can be fun AND educational! :wink: Anyway heres my queries.

Why does having less sleep but in a more traditional timeset 10pm-8am make you feel better than having more sleep in a wierd time period 2am-2pm?

Why do you develop saggy skin under your eyes if you don't get enough sleep?

Why can't unscratchable cd's be made?

Why haven't cars been made yet that can park sideways?

Why do women make a lot of noise during sex but men don't?

Why are breasts so attractive?

Why is pink considered a feminine colour and blue a masculine colour?

Why are there less romantic idealists teenagers in Britian and more chavs?

[Raining_again]

Why does having less sleep but in a more traditional timeset 10pm-8am make you feel better than having more sleep in a wierd time period 2am-2pm?
I reckon is cause generally theres a lot more light around at "abnormal" sleep times, such as during the day which stops you from going to sleep fully. Or maybe if you go to bed at 10pm to 8am normally, you are throwing out your bodies routine by going to bed at any other time.

Why can't unscratchable cd's be made?

probably CD burners aren't designed to write data to that kind of substance yet. or something along the lines of that.

Why do women make a lot of noise during sex but men don't?

women enjoy themselves more? men are stupid*?

*Just kiddin' guys.

I think you could be right damn day/night patterns!

Hehe easy now its a nice thread :wink:

Do you not have any questions yourself Raining Again?

[mike-zim]

Why do women make a lot of noise during sex but men don't?

because men are more considerate. and women have a higher sexual sensitivity. IMO.


Why are breasts so attractive?


Because men don't have them and they are hypnotic i just want to give them a grop.

Why is it when men go shoping it is " in get what you need and leave without being noticed" women " in look at loads of stuff you are not going to buy any way spend loads of time getting in each others way and pissing every one off"?

when men buy something they say how much it cost. when women buy something they say how much they saved. WHY?????

[Raining_again]

yeah i did put in a disclaimer :heh: I'll be good

id love to know......what the heck was goin through our ancestors minds when they invented all the various forms of drugs?

"oh i'll just wrap some of this plant in a bit of paper and light it and suck the fumes from it, see what happens"

EDIT:

shopping is fun for most girls. its social. we take a mate and it gives us a chance to chat!

when men buy something they say how much it cost. when women buy something they say how much they saved. WHY?????
'cause it makes us feel better about spending too much money.

exactly that :p

[The3rdChildren]

I guess we got the "good" drugs that didn't kill people outright. I'm sure that all materials that have existed across the year have seen people attempt to smoke them. Plastic, metal, coal. I'm sure they've gone and done it all.

[Blackfox]

Most old school drugs were consumed as food by tribes - like the Coca plant. Only when some drugs boffins came along did they isolate the specific drug and manufacture it illegally.

As for smoking, i dont know. Perhaps they threw some leaves on a fire one day - liked the smell of the smoke and tried it.

[The3rdChildren]

Why are breasts so attractive?

Maybe something to do with them being something most men (chunkys) don't have, I dunno. Breasts are just visually pleasing, nice ones anyway.

[mike-zim]

oh yeah! you really cant beat a nice pair. my rule is more than a hand full is a waste.

But it is a hell of a lot of fun though. cant be saggy either. they have to pass the pencil test.

[Raining_again]

the pencil test

Care to elaborate?

[Blackfox]

Care to elaborate?

Put a pencil underneath the breasts. If they are nice, then the pencil will fall, if they are sagbags, the pencil will stay there.

[Mr_Odwin]

Stick/wedge a pencil under your boob and let go. If it falls your boobs are fine, if it sticks in your booby crevice then you have saggy boobs. You're probably ugly too, and have no mates. The pencil doth not lie.

Edit: Damn you Foxy.

[RoadKill]

The pencil test knows the truth.

[Raining_again]

so the theory that all guys like big breasts isn't true?

cause saggy or not big breasts will fail a pencil test.

[mike-zim]

Care to elaborate?

i am surprised that a "chick" does not know the pencil test. i have other tests that can performed but i will keep the thread above XXX rated.

i would rather have a pert C cup than semi firm E cup. i think that is no good.

[Raining_again]

I dont need to perform tests to justify myself ;)

Now that is confidence for you. i like it. :hehe: sorry what size bra did you say you had?

[Haden]

Guys this is turning into a melee :heh:
Does noone else have any questions to ask?

To Raining Again I think as has been mentioned expermentation is a key for drugs. Imagne all the ones that killed people off!

[MoogleViper]

Put a pencil underneath the breasts. If they are nice, then the pencil will fall, if they are sagbags, the pencil will stay there.

See if this test was designed for men we'd all try it and broadcast the results over the internet. However I'd guess that Raining Again has tried the test she just won't admit it.

Why is this?

[mike-zim]

You have a point. i will apologise. i took it too far.

i want to know the answer to an age old question. what came first the chicken or the egg?

[MoogleViper]

Egg (dinosaurs, lizards, other birds etc.)

[Raining_again]

Now that is confidence for you. i like it. :hehe: sorry what size bra did you say you had?

i didn't say

To Raining Again I think as has been mentioned expermentation is a key for drugs. Imagne all the ones that killed people off!

yeh i suppose that is very true :)

[mike-zim]

Egg (dinosaurs, lizards, other birds etc.)

i am not sure. how were the eggs incubated?

[MoogleViper]

In an incubator obviously. Havent you played creatures?

[mike-zim]

The question is answered. ok.

if we all started off in the womb as female and then blokes obviously developed futher.
Does that mean men are upgrades?

[Raining_again]

what women lack downstairs, we make up for upstairs :heh:

Not necessarily upgrades, just alternatives.

SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!!! Don't piss on our parade.

[Wesley]

Men like breasts because in the caveman period we used to mate by the woman bending over (although we do still today), and therefore the image of the ass in that position from our view point was linked the pleasure in sex, making it attractive. Now psychologically we think of the breasts looking like the ass in that position and like breasts.

[Dan Dare]

Why does having less sleep but in a more traditional timeset 10pm-8am make you feel better than having more sleep in a wierd time period 2am-2pm?


because you're body is actually enginered to sleep during the night. I beleive it's something to do with timed hormone releases that maximise the productivity of a sleep.

I have heard this before although I am not sure if I am convinced. Breasts are just so cool and soft whereas the arse is bony and excretes crap :/

Ok as this line of questions seems to be going down the gender path for now heres a new one.

Are women more aggressive than men?
When I say this I don't mean physically but in interactions with each other, backstabbing etc to get what they want. Indivduality plays a massive role of course and also keep responses nice and light :smile:

[dukkadukka]

The question is answered. ok.

Does that mean men are upgrades?
or downgrades maybe?

haden, in my experience women are far more vicious than men, but we do it with subtlety, manipulation and backstabbing rather than shouting and punching.(generally)

[Offerman]

Why can't unscratchable cd's be made?

Why are breasts so attractive?

Why are there less romantic idealists teenagers in Britian and more chavs?

First orf Haden - sodding excellent thread. Bluudy original and pretty though provoking. Nice work.

CDs consist of an Polypropoline plastic bottom with a rich metal inside. The metal is what carrys the data and takes the burn. Obviously the CD you buy is stamped, which is different from the burning process we use at home.

There are very very few materials in the world that can be polished smooth and be scratch proof. The problem is metals like Titanium, Iron, and Irrididum scratch easily - but they dont show there scratches like plastic does, because of there colour. PTFE a plastic with an exceptionally low friction coefficent doesnt scratch easily because its so slippery, but thats impossible to make clear. :P

The breasts thing is pretty damn interesting, considering I spent a good few hours aday looking at them in various magazine forms I really don't know why I, or anybody else is attracted to them. But they are just so awesome, I think its knowing how they could feel which is the real turn on.

The final thing is so true. Teenagers, especially dudes should be more romantic. I know it seems that I just want to get laid but when I get a girl I want her to be sweet and warm and of course; really romantic.

Hmm, this may seem offence but why does teh black people have the big cocks. I know, I know becasue of their genetic make up but why did it work out like this? I mean like African people have black skin because they live in a very hot climate right? But whey teh uber cocks?

Its just evolution. Maybe there was a tribe of black guys with huge cocks, and they also had something else subtly diffent to their bodys. Something that meant they survived longer then normal black people, and they reproduced...and well the rest is Darwins Theory of Evolution.

Sorry to not talk about breasts but this has been bugging me for a while. Why do men with long hair not wash it? Some guys can look good with long hair but for Pete's sake wash it!

[|Laguna|]

thats merely a myth

apparently ze germans and the americans have the biggest cocks, whilst the medditeraneans have the smallest


But Vye!?

Is it those German sausages that contribute?

[RoadKill]

so the theory that all guys like big breasts isn't true?

cause saggy or not big breasts will fail a pencil test.

Untrue, small breasts will cause the pencil to drop immediately, and thus pass.

Saggy will fail, with reason.

To answer Ash's question:

Because Men are lazy fucking shits and hardly know the first thing about hair care.

[Sarka]

Sorry to not talk about breasts but this has been bugging me for a while. Why do men with long hair not wash it? Some guys can look good with long hair but for Pete's sake wash it!

I have long hair and wash it everyday, god I couldn't bare not washing it... ugh!

But Vye!?

Is it those German sausages that contribute?

Well, they have a class called something that sounds like sausage class, they must learn it there. I'll ook it up tomrrow in German.

[|Laguna|]

Because Men are lazy fucking shits and hardly know the first thing about hair care.

Have a free sample of anti-dandruff shampoo. That will hopefully sort out some hair problems y'all have :)

WTF are you on about. I have long hair and I wash it everyday. Most guys I know with long hair treat it better than short haired people.

Another hair question (mainly aimed at girls): How do you get your hair so damn shiny? I condition it everyday I've tried using that serum stuff. It just won't go shiny.

[Aimless]

Why do women make a lot of noise during sex but men don't?
Men can't multi-task?

Why are there less romantic idealists teenagers in Britian and more chavs?
Fear.

Why is pink considered a feminine colour and blue a masculine colour?
It appears that it wasn't always. In fact, pre-20th century, it's believed that pink was seen as a boyish colour with blue more befitting of girls. The reasoning behind this was that blue is quite a soft, dainty colour, whereas pink was more bestial and fierce, like red.

By the '50s the opposite was generally accepted, and there are several theories as to why this happened. Many cite World War II, or its end, as the cause for the switch.

This thread reminds of a link that Svt4Him posted years back: The Straight Dope (http://www.straightdope.com/index.html). It's basically a site where you can submit off-the-wall questions.

Wow that's way better than what I was gonna say.

[kopo]

I dunno why men like breast, as they're not directly a characteristic of fertility. TBH hips are a better example of something men will look after unaware for reproduction means. A low, wide beak will mean the female's fertile and has good genes and therefore will give easily give birth.
As for breats, I guess it's more of something civilisation brought. Breasts have no indication of fertility and have a merely functional meaning. But 'social laws' and the such have made breasts a sexually attractive purpose.

But hell a good pair always makes my day.

As my question: why do women say they like sensitive boys and run of with the dominant alpha male in the end, only to break up after a month to start the cycle again?

[MoogleViper]

Must be local boys, as a lot of their hair looks yuck and unkept. I knew a guy who once didn't wash his long hair for six weeks, which was just eww.

And I think girls have shiny hair by using special (ie expensive) shampoos and conditioners and brush it every night to make sure its all nice. Plus the mooses and stuff they use are special "shiny enhancing" mooses.

Mooses is a silly word.

[Aimless]

Mooses is a silly word.
The plural of 'moose' is, err, 'moose'. So now I have a question: does this apply to the substance ('mousse') as well as the animal?

[MoogleViper]

I wash my long hair everyday, as do many others in my area. There is, however, the exception of one, who not only doesn't wash his hair, but doesn't even take baths/showers. Which is Eww with a capital E.

He also has nits. Which is also eww.

[MoogleViper]

since we are asking...why cant i get a girlfriend

Your standards are too high.

[Ashley]

The plural of 'moose' is, err, 'moose'. So now I have a question: does this apply to the substance ('mousse') as well as the animal?

Well the negative for good is bad, don't stop me from saying "that was ungood" Although I have a philosophy that that in itself is acceptable. Something that is good is ..well good, something that is bad is bad. (Duh). But something that is ungood isn't bad, but not all too good. And no its not another way of saying its indifferent :P

Anyway where we we? Plural of mousse? Anyone?

[MoogleViper]

Anyway where we we? Plural of mousse? Anyone?

Moussi.




15 yeh yeh.

[Strider]

moussiates ........

[MoogleViper]

that is one reason...but i surely deserve a paragraph outlining the reason for and against myself and my fellow kin

Yeah, you do.


(15 yeah)

[Platty]

why is my hairline receding but yet my facial hair grows quicker than tom hanks in castaway ?

[Haden]

Glad you like it Mr Offerman! By romantic idealists I mean people like Byron who went to fight the Greek war of independence, maybe they have turned to emos? But I liked your answer as well.

I agree with you dukkadukka and having watched both thirteen (a classic) and 13 turning 30 (not so good) today I am glad I'm not a girl.

Ok heres a new one is it nostalga that makes me think childrens tv is crap compared to when I used to watch Wacky Races and Tom and Jerry? (They hardly show cartoons on childrens TV now :hmm:

Oh and thanks for the reply about colours thats a nice bit of history to! :smile:

[Ashley]

why is my hairline receding but yet my facial hair grows quicker than tom hanks in castaway ?

I think they're related, something to do with testosterone levels.

[old_gregg]

Why not turn your head upside down when your talking to people that way it will look like your a Clean shaven hunk with long flowing locks :)
