when people say to me 'How longs a piece of string?'

I always reply 'Twice as long as half!

which throws them

or being disabled physically but internally, I look well on the outside and I often get 'How can you be so ill, you look so well on the outside.

My answers are either 'Are you a Dr?' if they say 'no' I say 'well then!! I mean you can't judge damaged book pages by looking at its pretty cover?'

or

'those x-ray specs?' 'no' 'well how can you tell whats going on inside me without them!'

normally shuts people up!! LOLOL

what questions do you have for those and similar type questions?

I see a word "20 / 20" here in Yahoo Answers! often. What is this? Is that a TV program? and what is the origin of this word?

I find it interesting to read text backwards and forwards when reading some of the time. It just makes you think about what that person really typed even more imo.

While the plot may not be the most original, this boy-makes-good tearjerker will certainly reel in the fans. Look for a movie starring beautiful people or, better yet, snuggle under the covers with your tissues nearby and let your inner sap run wild.

just the latter sentence:
Look for a movie starring beautiful people or, better yet, snuggle under the covers with your tissues nearby and let your inner sap run wild.

Does it mean "just find a beautiful people and have sex with him/her in bed?" ^_^

Several of my beaver friends down at the river are taking around a petition. They came to see me and said:

'Why on earth, if humans needed a slang name for THAT, would they choose to name it after a stocky 80-pound rodent with oily fur, large front incisors and a lingering smell of castor? WHY? Physical resemblance? NOT! Smell? NOT! Taste? PHHHBBBBBTTT!!!!'

They were quite agitated and demanded justice.

Can you name any ONE animal, bird or reptile (fish?) which would be more suitable as a name, so that the dignity of beavers can be restored?

Why does your proposed name make more sense?
