Welcome to the pond

Here's my second Wednesday meme, the Wednesday Weird Ones:

1. Why do people wear leather shoes a lot but never ones made out of ham? Likewise, why are sweaters often made out of wool, but rarely make out of mutton.

Ham would soak up a lot of water and just get really soggy. As for mutton sweaters, I can imagine that would get pretty smelly after a while.

2. Why does mint taste so minty?

It tastes that way so that it will go well with chocolate!

3. What should I do with my life? What should I do with your life? How about the lives of random people?

We should all just live our lives. That's why it's called a life: you live it.

4. A banana, an apple, and an orange were driving in a car, who's driving? Why?

The banana is probably driving, because it's the only fruit in the car tall enough to see over the steering wheel. This is also because apples are just plain lazy, and oranges are legally blind.

5. Is the universe bigger or smaller than all that it has enfolded in it? Explain. What shape is the universe? What shape is the sum total of what it contains?

If I wanted to be in school I'd be in a classroom! I'm not answering this, too much brainwork!
