Re: Why?
Uhoh, here comes a serious post in a humor thread. I apologize in advance.
I've seen a lot of these before, but this one just bothers me:
Bella Dea wrote:* Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Sterilized needles are used for lethal injections to protect the person administering the shot, in case of an accidental prick; even if it doesn't leak any of the poison, you still don't want any infections spreading that way. Also, disposing of used needles in proper containers is easy, while saving those needles for future use is not. Plus, needles are always manufactured in sterile conditions, and the demand from prisons alone, assuming otherwise safe handling, wouldn't be enough to cause a change in the market to have it any other way.
Okay, you may resume your humor now. That one has just rubbed me the wrong way for a while, and I had to get that off my chest.
It's ok smog...
I guess the humor part (dark though it is) is that the person is going to die so why protect them from infections? You aren't suppose to think deeply about it. :wink:
My brain is always on overtime! Especially when I couldn't sleep all night....

That sucks. Sorry you didn't sleep well.....
See, that was my attempt at humor. Cos, like, over thinking, overtime, couldn't sleep=extra time, extra time, overtime, brain, thinking... yeah. But, it actually didn't suck so much, since I got an early start on the day.

When I can't sleep I always think, hey I COULD get up and do.... but then I don't because I am too lazy and I just lay there.
My left leg went to sleep yesterday afternoon. Bloody thing was then awake all night.
It went to sleep? The way it smells, it should be dead
by now.
I'm afraid i can answer another one
The reason that Kamikaze pilots wear helmets is cos their mouth and ear pieces (so they can talk to one another and to base) are in the helmet
Quote:* Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
This has to do with the width of the film of the bubble and the wavelengths of light. If you look closely at the bubble, you'll notice that it's rainbow colored... from a distance, they appear white.
Why, when you point something out to a dog, does it just stand there and stare at your finger?
Why does a mans bike have a crossbar (ouch)?
Why does one's Croquet ball never go where one has aimed it?
why does one drive without an accident for ages and then bam! smashes her car as soon as her parents are in the car?

sounds like someone is reliving old memories...although I must say if that is true, I am not ever letting my dad in the car when I am driving.
Why is it so hard for some people to say I love you?
...not some people - it's usually men!!
Why do we take such pleasure out of jokes like this?
