1. If all the nations in the world are in debt, even US has got debts, where did all the money go? -- Into rich people pockets through goverment contracts... the rich keep getting richer... and the poor keep getting poorer.

2. When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it? -- Dogs... they place the old food next to the new food and see which one the dogs like to eat more.

3. What is the speed of darkness? -- 0 Mph.

4. If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff? -- Plane would be too heavy to fly and too expensive to make I guess...

5. Who copyrighted the copyright symbol? -- The US Government.

6. Can you cry under water? -- If you can pee under water and spit under water... I don't see why you couldn't cry under water.

7. Why do people say, "you've been working like a dog" when dogs just sit around all day? -- Hey... Some dogs do work you know... Lassie, Benji, Scooby Doo...

8 Why are the numbers on a calculator and a phone reversed? -- Inventors choice...

9. Do fish ever get thirsty? -- No.

10.Can you get cornered in a round room? -- Yes... If you have your back against the wall and more than two people surround you.

11.What does OK actually mean? -- Of the many competing theories about the origins of OK, the one now most widely accepted is that the letters stand for "orl korrect" or "oll korrect" , a facetious early 19th-century American phonetic spelling of "all correct".

12.Why do birds not fall out of trees when they sleep? -- Because they are sitting in a nest. If they are not in a nest, then they happen to have great balance.

13.What came first, the fruit or the color orange? -- The fruit... "Orange derives from Sanskrit nāraṅgaḥ "orange tree", with borrowings through Persian nārang, Arabic nāranj, Spanish naranja, Late Latin arangia, Italian arancia or arancio, and Old French orenge, in chronological order. The first appearance in English dates from the 14th century. The name of the color is derived from the fruit, first appearing in this sense in the 16th century."

I am guessing on most of these questions... Oh well... Great questions though...

Ha Ha Ha!

Very funny, yet great questions. Let me see if I can answer a few.

1) It isn't real money, it is just numbers.

2) I think they get dogs to taste it. that would make the most sense. If we can train amimals to give us signals when there are tremors in the earth. I am sure we can train dogs to give us signals whether they like the food or not.

3) Well darkess really doesn't have speed. darkness is the absence of light. So I guess the answer is the speed of light.

4) The main part of the black box is made of a stainless-steel shell that contains titanium or aluminum and a high-temperature insulation of dry silica material. It would be hard to make the entire plane with these materials since it would make it to heavy to even get off the ground.

5) This one is hard and I am not sure if anyone actually copyrighted copyright. But here is the history, Copyrighting history all started with President James Madison, on August 18, 1787. He submitted a provision protecting an author’s work from being copied word for word (plagiarism). This provision became a law known as the copyright law.

6) I think you can, many people cry in the shower (atleat in the movies) I thing it is the hugh gasps of air that we need while crying make it hard to cry under water.

7) I think who ever came up with that phrase lived near the Artics. I think when they refered to dogs, they ment the Huskies. The poor little dogs who pull the sleighs.

8) I think it is to make it easier to use. But I am not really sure. Interesting.

9) I think so. They use their skin (gills) to breath, but they still need water to survive, so yes they drink water.

10) I think getting cornered is a state of mind. When we confront someone we say we cornered them, or when we get ganged up we refer to the same phrase. So I think that you can get cornered in a round room.

11) OK stands for "all correct" or the illiterate phrase "Orl Korrect."

12) the have those feet of thier that can grip a tree real good.

13) I agree with you, the seed came first. lol

1.All the Money has gone to fight wars and the wars rage on and of course to help other countries this is why we have santions.
2.That is just a scam to get you to buy the higher dog foods, for sure.
3.Twenty four hours in a day= you do the Math.
4.The black box , wow you got me on this one. Good ideal.
5.the Gov. I assume did this to protect the other people from taking other people good ideals.
6.Yes you can cry under water but, no need for that. right?
7.Maybe they meant wild dogs, they wasn't domesticated, so they hunted their food vigrously.
8.A phone has simple numbers to punch in while a calculator does percentages and decimals, etc.
9.If they do then they would never be without water.
10.No because it's a round room, you'd be running in circles.
11.ok=Officailly known
12.They have claws that hold them on by nature this is default.
13.I think the seed came forth first, then the fruit then the color of the fruit was known to all of us.
Hey I sure Tried to give all these questions a whirl. Gotta say you sure can ask some good ones though.

quite a handful, but here goes:

1. it just went around and to the bureaucrats (capitalists) pockets... the nation may be in debt, but the people who run it (the ones who really gets richer), the ones in "real power" are not.
2. this is a fact... all dog foods are really taste-tested by dogs too.
3. 1 / speed of light
4. could it withstand air pressue and air turbulence?
5. english businessmen (bureaucrats) of old?
6. actually, no...
7. hey but sitting all day is also a work in progress, right?
8. well, if they're the same, we might mistake a calculator for a phone...
9. believe it or not, they do.
10. yes... technically. stay between furnitures and you're cornered.
11. actually, a stenographer's short hand style.... they penned it.
12. their claws pierce the trees branches and limbs...
13. if you meant the fruit or the seed, i'd go for fruit...

Yeah i'm not particular when you're purely talking about the first e book or all, yet when this is purely the first e book per chance those questions weren't responded: - How did Billy look to study about the Cullens? - what's the actual reason behind Rosalie's animosity in the direction of Bella? - Why is it that Bella's ideas is the in ordinary words one Edward can not examine? - Will Bella develop right into a vampire? i do not understand, very few to imagine about...this is been a lengthy time period in view that i have examine the entire sequence, so this is extra accessible for me to do questions depending off of the first e book.
