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.

Realize that it is not your head that spins, but the world around you.

Why is the rest of the world spinning?

Lost Ashes--Not for a million bucks.

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.
