What mysteries of life intrigue you? Game

"Brain freeze" I thought was attributable to the trigeminal nerve. Richard, I'm stealing your joke about the Vegas nerve!

Why is it that, because I'm female, I'm expected to dislike math and know nothing about cars? Both of which are true about me - but my second-youngest niece, who is a high school senior, LOVES math. Sudoku puzzles stump me - give me a crossword any day! - but she does them in ink. Drives me nuts. I know of two other young women who are the same way.

Why do people go out and by new tech-like the Apple note book- when the price will go down in a year?

There are those among us that have to have the latest toy and are willing to pay a premium for that privilege. I have seen people that are that way about cars, and my son is that way about computers. Every time a new processor comes out he buys it and builds a new computer around it. The old stuff goes on ebay.

Is there any evidence to suggest that the Egyptian and the Mayan civilizations
have a common source of knowledge.

Since both the trigeminal and vagus are connected to the facial nerve it is
possible for pain in the trigeminal nerve to be referred to the vagus and vise-versa. This has been observed in various studies.

Why is it that hands and feet get all wrinkly in water but nothing else does?

Most biologists suggest that the tough outer layer of skin made up of dead keratin cells is responsible. This outermost layer of the skin swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin underneath, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling.

Most of us guys can attest that our hands and feet aren't the only things that wrinkles

I don't think so. The pyramid design is a model of a free-standing pile of sand.

Why is the sky blue? (a good nerdy question!)

Now i have often wondered how swear words became swear words,who started them,and why did they become offensive etc etc? i know an weird question, but it has often crossed my mind lol.[/QUOTE]

I don't know about all swear words, but the origin of the (sadly ) seemingly most prevalent one is
'Fornication Under Consent of the King'

My Question is - Why do we crave the only snack we don't have, even when the pantry is full of other things?

Two thoughts come to mind. Commercials, or, the fact that we are bored with what is already in our pantry.

Question:

At the end of the week, why do I have 3 socks left in my drawer and none of them match?

1.why do most people seem to lose their sense of wonder as they mature.

I think some people as they age become more callused and maybe a little beat down by life's struggles. There is nothing like a life altering illness to
renew your love of life and all its wonder.

2. Why the heck to spammers think I want a list of doctors, or dentists, or lawyers?

The spammers are being paid to think by doctors, dentist and lawyers.

No answers - just a question.....

As I sit here watching the big snowflakes drift down upon us, I can't help but question the fact that says "no 2 snowflakes are alike".

Says who? Where's the proof? If it's just a theory, then it's not a fact.

Glad the snow is your way and not here Pomtzu. But you had me wondering when you asked that so I googled it and there actually is proof that no two snowflakes are alike. Molecular structure and all that stuff. Makes sense though and very interesting. But too long to post here so go ahead and google it for fun and there's your proof

I saw that before I posted my question. I still don't see how anyone could ever prove it! The proof just melts away............

Exactly! How could they know for sure? I don't have the answer to this one but I don't think they are right.

Question: Why does my cat meow and lead me to his food bowl acting like he is starving to death when there is already food in his bowl?
