i mean questioons like the thread that was started a few hours ago by someone "is the cup half empty or half full"

wondered how many weird questions likethat actually existed

I dont know if it even fits with the theme of this thread but a question that always drives me mental is "what colour does a smurf go if you choke it?" eek

If you took a seagull, put breathing apparatus on it and sent it into outspace, would it be able to fly in a straight line, or would it just go up and up and up? ubblol

but would it not learn to "swim" through space in the same way as a penguin does through water? maybe you'd need a few birds and then let evolution take its course!

In space an opposing force is required. I can't remember which film, but this dude drifts away from the space ship, so he lobs a wrench into space and the opposing force pushes him back towards the shuttle. Its an environment free of the laws of gravity...and of atmosphere, but not the laws of kinnetic motion. I suppose that will only work in a vacuum. As if you threw a wrench on Earth, it'd just hit some one in the nads(Dodgeball)..or fall pretty fast.

I agree with faceless joker.

a pschological question would be more like, "why are people obsessed with sex" (which could also qualify as philosphical now that I think about it...)

actually, the bird wouldn't survive due to the lack of pressure and air, the bird would explode unless fully contained in a space suit, thus defeating the purpose. but it would be neat if id could happen.

why are dogs so dumb and cats so smart? (and all you dog-lovers out there, this is tru. you can't train six cats to pull a sled!!)

The bird would not explode - it would actually freeze dry - this is how freeze dryers work - trust me I've freeze dryed many an animal.

As for a pschological question - if a bird is being freeze dryed in the vacume of space does it wish that it had stolen the childs crips rather than its banna sandwich?

actually the exploding part wouldn't happen - excruciating pain from a worst case scenario or the bends and collapsed lungs yes, that probably leading to giddyness from oxygen deprivation. You (or a bird) would suffocate before any tissue damage from the vaccum exposure caused death. eventually all volitiles (water, gases like nitrogen and oygen, etc) would evaporate out of your (or the bird's) body and basically freeze-dry the body in a state of perfect mumification.

but that is a physiological thing, neither psycological or philisophical, despite all the "p"s, "ph"s, "y"s, and "cal"s bouncing around in common with all those words.

why do we care about stuff we can't possibly understand? why are we all so afraid of the unknown? thats what i want to know after all fear of the unknown is the basis of every conflict on earth. We went to war in Iraq because America is so scared of running out of oil. Damn i knew i'd start rambling stupid stuff

Does this site actually exist? Or am i talking to all my other personalities?

I dunno, i think that just proves the very well known fact that cats are obnoxious and lazy.
Apparently if cants dont get 16 hrs sleep a day they die of exhaustion err i dunno how to spell that word frown

space = vacuum... so no sound

But ASSUMING seagull was in a place of atmosphere, etc... then yes

but a tree wouldn't

Why is right. Sound needs a medium to travel through wink Because sound uses compressions and rarefactions in the medium in which it's traveling, and that there is a vacum in space (thus nothing to compress or rarefact) it wouldn't produce sound.

And on the topic of dogs and cats, why do people have to choose one over the other? I love them both! Although don't tell my girlfriend, she loves cats to death and she thinks I hate them and love dogs instead, just to create balance, otherwise the universe would cease to exist :O

And we all know turtles are the best animal.
There's a good question,
Why are turtles so damn cool?

He's always trying to impress the other gorillas? Or Jane? Or that really cool monkey from the live action TV show? Or because he's a baby face? Or because he's just that cool?
Any number of reasons really :P

Or maybe hes truely a homosexual, and likes to be clean shaven for other reasons *wink wink, nudge nudge*. As for turtles, they are so cool because if you dip them in radioactive ooze, they become ninja fighting machines with the help of a japanese rat.

Because they were evil, and evil never wins, they get too cocky and sometimes spill the beans of their evil plot, so that the good guys can come up with a strategy to beat them.
