Can you add to this list of things that make us say hmmmm....that's a really good question!?!
1. Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin? 2. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? 3. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
4. Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
5. Why is a boxing ring square?
6. Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? 7. Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?
8. Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address,you turn down the volume on the radio?
9. Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
10. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
11. Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?12. Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
13. Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

#13....could you imagine if catfood was made from real mice. Who would have to skin and gut them? If that were the case, rat cat food would be even better. As far a flavors go.....I'm not doing the taste test!!

good question..
Hmmmmmmmmmm....
well , i go Hmmmmmmm when somebody asks me following questions-
To whom i love most?
this is a question which used to make me go hmmmm. but perhaps now i think it should not have any answer bcz love is something which you can not measure. and every relation is equally important in your life. so how can you say to whom you love most.
who is your best friend?
this is the another question which is very difficult for me to answer. i have a lot of friends and they all are very closed to my heart. so selecting one out of them is never easy for me. i think its imposible to rate them on such scale.
Why people breach our trust?
i have always been honest in relations so i dont know the answer of this question that why people breach our faith.
there are many such questions that make me go hmmmmmmm.... but this one makes all go hmmmmmm---
what came first in the world? a hen or an egg? hahaha:)

Why do you always look both ways when you're walking across a one way street?
How come when you see a sign for wet paint, you have to touch it?
Oh I used to know loads but how come when you're trying to think of them, they never pop into your head? I'll probably wake up at 3 in the morning having remembered them!!

your foot is as long as your wrist to your elbow
and it is impossible to touch your tounge to your elbow!
We eat an average of 8 spiders a year because of sleeping with our mouths open!
If you twist you foot in a circle clockwise and keep doing while you watch your hand draw a number 6 your foot will change directionall by itself!
This one is scary!

You know that most of these things are just made up to drive us thinkers right into the "Happy Hotel"!
Why does the doorbell ring, the very moment that you sit on the john?
How does the postman ring your doorbell twice, to deliver a package but instantly vanish into thin air before you can open the door?
How does an inanimate object, like say a kitchen cabinet door, manage to whack you on the head, seemingly at will, the moment you bend down over the sink?
The world may never know, and I'm not even gonna try to find out...
I'm just gonna sit here and sip my tea, look around for Rod Serling, and hope that he's got an explanation for this stuff! LOL!

PS:
If they want us to eat more olives to be healthy, why on Earth seal them in a thin glass tube, then vaccume pack them with a lid so tight, that it causes Carpal Tunnel damage when you try to open them?
