Why do birds sing?
Why do some travel thousands of miles just to sit down?

Why is glass something so destructive and manmade but no one uses clay anymore?

Why do men have to shave their faces and women their bodies?

Why do people get older and wiser, but more wrinkled and difficult to look at?

Why is television so important to so many people?

Why do darkness and light have to change places all the time. Why can't they share?

Why is there tooth decay?

Why do people believe in powers greater than themselves?

Why do men have to sometimes wear ties. What the hell is that all about?

Why are sports heroes made out to be heroes?

Why does everything you own now come from China?

More?

1. Why did I decide to live on campus at college?
My home is only 20 miles away.

2. 1. to get laid...
2. there are more bugs to eat.
3. you can see what's in the glass
4. I don't have to shave my face. I'm a civil servant.
5. (both parts) they've been out in the sun for some time.
6. It raised them. They're imprinted.
7. Like most dualisms, the question is mute once you realize your Buddha-nature.
8. Commercial sugar production, starting in the 1700's.
9. Mankind's great hobby is finding patterns, but true and imagined. Either way, that's the biggest pattern there is.
10. I don't have to wear a tie. I'm a civil servant.
11. Sometimes they are (Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Roberto Clemente, Terry Fox). But at any rate, we're hard-wired to look up to the guy best fit to bring the mammoth-meat home to the cave.
12. Why pay for labor?
13. I have a feeling my answer won't matter.

5. Thanks for taking the time
those are interesting answers. I'm tempted to see if I can take number this and make it answer number that and make sense. Here I go!

:)

6. Damn those happy sounding birds
If they don't stop sounding so gay at 4:30am, I may get pissed.

7. They Sing...
to make things grow. Especially at the beginning of spring. I know it sounds new-agey, but, based on scientific fact this is the case.
