    1. If ghosts go through walls, why don�t they fall through the floor?

    They CAN go through the floor. But if I was a ghost, I wouldn't see the point. So neither do they.

    2. When you feel down, why do people ask what�s up?

    They don't know you're down. They assume that you are up, and then it goes down from there.

    3. How are children supposed to take medicine if it�s meant to be kept out of their reach?

    When they become adults they're tall enough to reach the medicine.

    4. Why do people talk about �girlie� things but never �boyie� things?

    Because saying "boyie" sounds a bit silly, and also sounds like you're copying the girls.

    5. Why do we hang our clothes on a washing line and not a drying line?

    Because they're wet, and they're not dry.

    6. Why do �a fat chance� and �a slim chance� mean the same thing?

    Because there is such a thing as a "synonym".

    7. Why does �dyslexia� have to be so hard to spell?

    It's not that hard to spell, really. There are harder words.

    8. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

    You've failed, obviously. You've successfully managed to fail.

    9. In horse racing, why do they award the rider and not the horse?

    Because if it was called rider racing, they'd have to award the horse.

    10. Why is �abbreviation� such a long word?

    No, that's not a long word either. :)

    Thought provoking indeed. I can't think of any of my own at the moment...

    1. They can, but they can float/fly, so they dont fall..

    2. They dont know you're down, thats why theyre asking..

    3. ITs out of reach, so they dont go go overdosed, too much of anything is bad for you, medicine or not.

    4. Boyie sounds stupid.

    5. I just call it a clothes line..

    6. fat cahnce is used with sarcasm, to mean the same thing as slim chance.

    7. the same reason they put an "s" is "lisp".

    8. both. you've succeeded at failing, but have yet failed the other task.

    9. What would a horse do with an award?

    10. to prove a point of the use.

    hm, like i said earlier: Why is there and "s" in "lisp"?

    Thought provoking questions? : /

    1. Is there really life after death?

    2. What is the meaning of life?

    3. Its not 'What is the meaning of life', but what is the answer to life?

    4. If we want to know the answer to life, then what is the question to the answer of life?

    5. Why do they ban Smoking advertisements, when Alcohol (which is just as bad) advertisements are allowed?

    6. What is Love? Can you estimate it? (i don't want replies like 'love is forever, boundless - how do you judge Love? Can it be judged as so?)

    7. I think i'm missing the point of these questions.

    X___X they make you think anyway.

    1. If ghosts go through walls, why don't they fall through the floor?

    -- Pretty sure they can...

    2. When you feel down, why do people ask what's up?

    -- What's up, referring to what's up on your mind? What's up isn't always meaning a high, could mean whats on the top of your mind, problems etc.

    3. How are children supposed to take medicine if it's meant to be kept out of their reach?

    -- Parent's administration

    4. Why do people talk about "girlie" things but never "boyie" things?

    --Boyie sounds too feminine

    5. Why do we hang our clothes on a washing line and not a drying line?

    -- It's where the washing goes, hence the name?

    6. Why do a fat chance and a slim chance mean the same thing?

    -- Depends context.

    7. Why does "dyslexia" have to be so hard to spell?

    --Because if you can spell your condition you are cured.

    8. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

    -- Failed.

    9. In horse racing, why do they award the rider and not the horse?

    -- It takes the rider to control the horse.

    10. Why is abbreviation such a long word?

    -- Google it.

    1. Is there really life after death?

    -- Depends your own view.

    2. What is the meaning of life?

    -- Again, depends your own view.

    3. Its not 'What is the meaning of life', but what is the answer to life?

    -- The answer to life is whatever you want the question to be. =] ha.

    4. If we want to know the answer to life, then what is the question to the answer of life?

    -- Whatever you want to ask.

    5. Why do they ban Smoking advertisements, when Alcohol (which is just as bad) advertisements are allowed?

    -- Smoking is more addictive than alcohol I think, and more people smoke than drink maybe?

    6. What is Love? Can you estimate it? (i don't want replies like 'love is forever, boundless - how do you judge Love? Can it be judged as so?)

    -- Love can be judged. Love is probably judged on intensity of feeling, and love is an emotion I think.

    7. I think i'm missing the point of these questions.

    -- Lol.
