Ready to get weird?

Wednesday Weird Ones

1. So this is what a rhetorical question looks like? Is it also what a leading question looks like?

What's with all the questions? Do I look like I have all the answers? Why can't I seem to stop asking things in this response?

2. What would have happened to Jack if he didn't have the beanstalk?

He'd have to sell whatever other animals he had to get a handful of rice to go with those three beans.

3. Why are school buses are yellow (at least in my country)? What does yello have to do with school?

In 1924, the Yellow Association of America lobbied Congress to demand that all school buses be colored yellow. The Purple Union would have got there first had it not been for a fatal blue and red mixing accident involving the Union president and his right-hand man.

4. Do ground squirrels live in trees? How can you be sure?

Ground squirrels? I think they end up at Jack In The Box and get put into the tacos. (Attention Jack In The Box lawyers: the previous statement was a joke and not meant to be taken seriously!)

5. Why do pianos lose their tune? Why are piano tuners needed; would it really be so horrible if notes were slightly off?

Why go to all that trouble? Just use an electronic keyboard. They can sound pretty close to pianos if they're programmed right.
