So, one of those funny-ish rhetorical-like questions (i.e. "Before they invented drawing boards what did they go back to?") came up in a conversation yesterday, between my friend and me.
The question was, "Why do scientists call it research when they're looking for something new?" To which, my friend wittily replied, "Because they missed it the first time around!" (lol)
However, he then added, "But, of course, there really isn't anything NEW in this world, everything has always been here."
This is, of course, an old concept (DUH!) that I would like to put out there to everyone, just to see what interesting responses come back!
My answer was... MUSIC! Music is one of the only things, that I could quickly think of, that can be considered new. Of course, not the idea of what music is, but rather the music itself! =)
Oh, and just for kicks, here's another one of those funny questions... "Why is a wise man and a wise guy, considered opposites?" *wink*
