Q: During the Salem Witch Trials, why were 19 of the 30 guilty ones hanged and not burnt?

coluber - Q: is it really possible for time to fly?

A: Yes! Sad

I was once at a 'Queen' concert, shirtless, dressed in my black leather vest and snakeskin pants - when Freddie strode on stage everybody raised their left arm and shouted 'Freddieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' - at the apex of my arm-raise I felt my brand new Patek Philippe watch fly off my arm! I heard a cry of 'Hallelujah!' from someone in the crowd and knew it had been found! Sad

A: This depends entirely on the depth of the water! Surface swimmers, or sun-bathers (like the Sunfish - Mola mola) get fried... middle depth and deep swimming fish suffer nothing at all, other than a little excitement at all the surface activity as the sharks etc move in

A: Aziz Abdullah, a Turkish door maker while on vacation in Istanbul got caught up in a whirling dervish convention in downtown Istanbul. While simply trying to cross the street to get a cup of Turkish coffee, he was caught up amidst the dancers and ended up a half mile down the street quite dizzy but still surviving. It was then that he was first inspired to create a new type of revolving door.

Q: Why is the carpet red when they "roll out the red carpet?"

A: That is because since the beginnings of rolling out the carpet for VIPs, there would inevitably be insults and screaming about who's most important, most powerful, etc., resulting brawls, fisticuffs, sword fights and the like and blood would spill. It didn't provide a pretty picture, so those In Charge of Carpet Rollouts decided to just dye the damn thing red.

coluber - Q: Like TV did for the older generation, has the Internet made people smarter?

A: I don't think so coluber - In fact, the average person on the street actually looks more untidy than before TV! Gone are the days of people 'dressing up' to go to the movies or the theatre! Once upon a time people would wear their Sunday Best to go to a restaurant... nowadays anything goes! People once took pride in their smart appearance, but not so much anymore Sad

Q: What do plants think of global warming and increased levels of carbon dioxide?

A: Given that scientists have determined that trees communicate with each other and plants cry when being cut or injured, I think there is a great plot afoot to make the culprits pay. It may not be in our lifetime, but don't underestimate anger among living things. It could be they develop a poison to kill us all.
