This thread is the mountain where on its highest peak sits the all knowign wise guru. You are waiting in line to ask him one perfect question. Then you realize the person in front of you asks something stupid. Since it takes two days for the Guru to answer a question, you decided to speed things up by answering the previous question first, then ask your own question. Then some know-it-all behind you interupts to answer your question. Who ever is last gets there question answered by the all knowing Guru. I ask first: "Why is the sky blue." Next person asnwers my question, and gets to ask one of their own. (PS Answers need not be accurate, only fun)

Dan, the sky is blue because if it were not blue, it would be some other color. Why am I here?

The truth is, you are not here, my friend. You are a figment of the imagination of an all-mighty being in the middle of a distant universe. What is the meaning of...Filibuster?

It means go find a dictionary instead of wasting the guru's time. When will my head stop spinning?

Realize that it is not your head that spins, but the world around you. Why is the rest of the world spinning?

NO! Why do you have to fill out six government forms to get them to write one check for something they were supposed to pay anyway?

When you reach true wisdom, you will know that nothing makes sense. Why, with 500 channels on TV, is there nothing good to watch?

One does not know sir! Perhaps there was some food on the other side, or perhaps there was an attractive female chicken on the other side of the road, if it is a male. Or perhaps there was a predator chasing the chicken. One hopes there is no traffic. Why do bad things happen to good people?
