That would depend on the topology (structure) and cardinality (finite or not) of the universe, and whether isotropy (no center) is true in the universe. Also, if the universe is multi-orgasmic (umm.. ), it's bound to take more licks to reach her center. And she'll want you to buy her breakfast when you get there.

After many years of careful research involving surveys, focus groups, and some of the most elaborate communications equipment since the two-cans-and-a-string thing, we have determined that really, everyone else is funny and so they assume Bob must be too. Works for us.

Check the fine print on your birth certificate. You'll see that your parents signed you up as a test market for haircare and diapers. You should be getting your first package of Depends in a few years. Enjoy.
By the way, your parents received a minivan in exchange for this deal. Just be glad they didn't name you [/i]Chrysler[/i]
quote:Why do the doors on teeny, tiny bathroom stalls open inward, leaving no room in the stall for the actual person?
Research has shown that the stalls stay much cleaner this way and a lot less water gets used. Savings in paper, at the national level, has saved a forest or two as well. It's sort of a win-win situation. Except that the handicapped stall tends to have a long line of large people waiting to use it.
Thank you for your questions.

quote:Why do 24-hour stores have locks on the doors?
It's mainly to keep the employees IN. Most of the time they can keep those doors unlocked, though, because the employees feet are nailed to the floor. But every once in awhile, an employee takes a bathroom break, or their feet atrophy to the point where they pry themselves loose and crawl frantically for the exit. In those cases, a central alarm goes off, the doors seal, and a mild electric shock is administered through the tracking collar.
It's a good system.
Thank you for you question.

quote:Why was my question more hypothetical than rhetorical?
Because thousands of years ago, before the dawn of man, somewhere in Africa, a butterfly flapped its wings, thus initiating a chain of events with unforeseen consequences. Your question had nothing to do with this, but it's a lot more fun to think about than whatever the heck it was you were asking.
Thanks for your question.

In the grand scheme of things,...yes. God likes it when rhetorical questions get answers. God has decided to delay the destruction of the Universe for an unspecified period of time for each rhetorical question correctly answered.
quote:Why does nobody seem to know what a rhetorical question is?
Because all the people who were really good at asking rhetorical questions in the past were beaten to death and thus failed to contribute their genes to the next generation.
Mainly because no-one else wanted the job. But at a more fundamental level, fools fall in love because it is so darned entertaining.

quote:Why do I have such a knack for killing threads?
We all have our special little talents. Yours include killing threads and coming up with seriously twisted screen names. Sadly, neither of these will get you a job. Your future is destined to be one of hanging out on street corners begging passers-by to let you access the internet from the wireless PDA/phone combos, just for a minute...

quote:Why are rhetorical questions the only questions worthy of being answered here?
It's not a question of worth. Well...yeah, it sort of is. Other questions are just not worth our researchers' valuable time. They've got other projects and, you know, premium home-ground peanut butter doesn't stay fresh forever, buddy!

quote:Why are lost causes the only ones worth fighting for?
Because nobody gets mad when it's all over and the cause still hasn't been found. Basically, if you fought for "found causes" there'd be a whole separate war over who got to keep the cause when the first war was done. It's messy. It's like liberals and conservatives fighting over morality. If that's not a lost cause, I don't know what is. But see, eventually, if morality is found, then the real war will start.
So, you'd better pray that moral behavior continues to be a lost cause, or we're all doomed.

Why do young men think they know all the answers before they get married?
Why does the #1 have a W sound in it, but no W when its spelled, while the #2 does not have a W sound in it, but does have a W in its spelling?
Will you answer these questions different after the wedding and the enlightenment of husbandry falls upon your shoulders like an angry old lady's purse?
Was that a rhetorical question?
