a new game - call 'Good Question'

ok here is how this works. I'll start by asking a question. The next person will either attempt to answer the question or admit that that's a good question i wonder that myself. Then they will ask there own question.

here we go the first question of the game -

why is it call a twin bed when it is made for only one person: after all don't twins come in twos?

That's a good question!
Why do they a paper towel a towel? It doesn't look any like a towel. Just a sheet of rolled paper.

Never thought of that. I think it is because you can use
It like a towel. Maybe not.

Why is grapenuts name that when there is no grapes or nuts in it?

There are nuts in that particular cereal. They are ground up into tiny bits and pieces or made into the flakes. Sounds yummy too. I think I will go buy a box.

It's an old comic shtick but why do people say "Walk this way"?

Cause they don't want you to walk that way.

why do people speaking to a crowd say - if you can't hear me raise your hand - if you can hear them how do you know to raise your hand??

If they are like me they are probably deaf. Or not paying attention.

Do gray and grey mean the same thing?

good question i don't know.

why is subway call subway when their restaurants are above ground?

LOL...good question. Never really thought about it.

Why do the words red and read sound the same but have a different meaning?

cause the english language is a strange language

why a red carpet? why not a blue, purple, orange, yellow, green, pink, silver or gold?? or one of the any other colors? why are famous people always walking a red carpet?

Seriously good question. I would think the carpet would be gold. But then again...what do I know?

Why do they call yellow apples golden when really they are yellow?

good question - maybe the one who started that was color blind. seriously though i don't know.


why am i consider white?? my shirt is white. i'm not the same color as my shirt, i'm not white.

That is a good question. I think society got it all wrong many many years ago in classifying people by color. African Americans are not black either. Their skin is brown. All color classifications are stupid in my opinion.

Why do people say "it's raining cats and dogs" when clearly it isn't?

great question - i don't have a clue

why do a lot of Americans keep everything except the car in the garage??

Storage space they don't have to pay for. That's what my daughter and her hubby use their garage for.

What's the difference between a bran flake and a corn flake besides the obvious difference?

taste

is it really possible to 'cry your eyes out'??

No, I don't think so. Think of all the people who would be blind if it really did happen.

Can you really die laughing?

good question - i don't know.

why do people ask - 'do you hear me?' - to someone standing like a foot away and can hear just fine??

Well, that's easy. If it were someone like me the answer would be no. I do have a hard time hearing people especially if they are on my right side. So the answer is because they may actually have a hard time hearing you.

Think about everything called a "chip". Chocolate chip, ice chip, chip in the glass, potato chip. There are so many ways to describe the word chip. Why is this?

great question - i really don't know

why do people say 'new born' why?? babies aren't born old.

I'm guessing it's because it's a new life that has entered the world.

Why is hell considered hot? Why can't it be cold?

the Bible does describe hell as a lake of fire and fire is normally thought has being hot not cold.

where exactly is hell?? as far as i know the Bible doesn't answer this question as to where hell is.

From what I've been taught hell is all of the bad things you've done in your life. The feeling of guilt in doing them. Just what I've heard.

What's the difference between dinner and supper? They both mean the same thing and are eaten at the same time of day.

the spelling

why is it at this time of the year people decorate a dead tree??
