1.If all the nations in the world are in debt(am not joking. even US has got debts), where did all the money go? (weird)
All of the nations are spending future money. In other words everybody is living on loans that are intended to be repaid by our future generations. The nations are signing promissory notes that some day in the future somebody will pay it. Look at any currency of today, it is no longer genuine currency. simply a promise that someday it might be worth something. No more silver or gold certificates no moe precious metal coins. Big business has grabbed us all and people now work for scraps of paper, that are simply a promise.
2.When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it? (to be give a thought)
In the USA it is usually people. the pet foods are produced under higher standards then the FDA allows for people food.
3.What is the speed of darkness? (absurd)
It is actually the same as the speed of light. It is what remains after. After you turn off a light it takes the same amount of time for the light to stop being visible as it was to illuminate. Use the stars for example. The sun is 7 light minutes away from us. If the sun stopped shinning this instant it would take 7 minutes for it to be dark to us.
4.If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff? (very good thinking)
that has been asked often. The simple answer is, in most crashes the flight recorder is destroyed. It is rare that one is found intact.
5.Who copyrighted the copyright symbol? (who knows)
It is not copyrighted. separate laws prevent it from being used for non-copy righted material
6.Can you cry under water? (let me try)
People in submarines can
13.What came first, the fruit or the color orange? (seed)
this is actually known the English word orange was for the fruit, it came from the Arabic Naranja. Later as the english language formed it became the name of the color.
19.If you were traveling at the speed of sound and you turned on your radio would you be ! able to hear it? (got to think scientifically)
I hope so cause other wise I was listening to my imagination when I was flying and not landing or location instructions.
20.If you're traveling at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on, what happens? (i dont have a change to try)
From your rlative posistion nothing happens
21.Why is it called a TV set when theres only one? (very nice)
the old ones were actually an encased set of seperate audio and video receivers.
22.If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth? (this is nice)
Depends on where you live. Here in Texas it is possible to own the surface rights, somebody else own the petroleum rights, another person own the water rights etc. A totaly different person could own the deep mineral rights all the way to the core.
23.Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road? (stupid, break the law)
It is actually the same as the speed of light. It is what remains after. After you turn off a light it takes the same amount of time for the light to stop being visible as it was to illuminate. Use the stars for example. The sun is 7 light minutes away from us. If the sun stopped shinning this instant it would take 7 minutes for it to be dark to us.
