Why?

[BFM_Nrvend]

got this in an email today....thought I would share it


If you think about it... ask yourself...Why, Why, Why…
 
1.   Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are about to die?
2.   Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?
 
3.   Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
 
4.   Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
 
5.   Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
 
6.   Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
 
7.   Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
 
8.   Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
 
9.   Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
 
10.   If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
 
11.   Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
12.   Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
 
13.   Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
 
14.   Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
 
15.   Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
 
16.   How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
 
17.   When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you idiot"?
 
18.   Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
 
19.   In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
 
20.   And my FAVORITE...... The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it 's you.

Good questions, although most actually have a real answer. 

And who does half of those things? 

The obvious answer, to all, is "Why not?"

[Plixity]

LOL! Thats great!

Nice find .

1.   Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are about to die?

Yep, then you step up and get real close up to the TV trying to get it to work, totally forgetting you could just switch it on from the TV itself.

I predict Mxy will be here shortly with sound scientific answers to most of these!

Those are really good questions.
The one that really got me was the super man one.  HAHA!!!

Read them over a couple of times and tried to answer, "Why," then my brain started hurting. 

Thanks for the fun post, Nrvend!  I  copied and passed it on to my co-workers.

Well I can answer number one. When the batteries start dieing they lose voltage. When they lose voltage, the usual light press on the button has too much resistance electrically to make the I-LED blink the code. The harder you press, the lower the circuit resistance is (to a point). This allows weak batteries to (weakly) flash the I-LED and hope that the TV sees it so they don't have to keep working.

13.   Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
 

ROFL I totally do that! Wishful thinking I suppose.

Some of those are pretty easy to answer from a scientific standpoint but the ones about human behavior are interesting.

I'd hazard a guess that, like me, they don't do the shopping. And also perhaps, like me, they never look behind things so they're hoping someone else has uncovered (but not finished) something tasty.

Boot.
