Because if He can't lift it then He can't do everything, but then it is impossible for him to make that rock? I'm just curious to know what answers you guys might come up with ...

I hate to say this as im an atheist, but:
When people say that God can do everything, they are saying that he can do everything that it is possible to do. Your question is like saying can God make a square triangle. It's of course impossible. God can do what is possible under the laws of nature. It is against logic for God to be able to do this, so therefore is against the laws of nature. God may be able to create a very heavy boulder, but cannot create one that's too heavy for him to lift, as lifting is not against the laws of nature.

Why should God do that?.
The wisdom is in your own question, you gave the answer.
God made the universe, in making it I doubt if scales were used, however when making the Universe all ''matter'' was involved.
Where is the heavier rock?.

This is actually an example of the problem of form and content. Your question has the form of a proper question, but its content actually makes it a contradiction in terms. So it sounds like a question but it actually has no meaning.
(In order to have a meaningful question you have to define your terms, and since God, (if there is one), cannot be defined, you've batted!)
Good for an argument though.

Nice thought, but the question assumes that God exists, i.e. , is a person or similar being. Prove this first then try again with the question.

Your are thinking of this through a material human brain, imperfection in other words. God stands outside of time and space a concept we cannot grasp with our imperfect brains. So the question sorry for the honesty is well imperfect.

humans need to understand that there are some things we just cannot understand! We don't have the answers to everything, our understandings are limited to the connections in our brain.
it's up to you weather you believe that there is something 'more powerful' than what we can understand, or if you think we can explain everything.

I love this question.
Not dissimilar to 'If Adam & Eve were the only people, and they had 2 children, Cain & Able, and Cain killed Able, who did Cain marry'

Yeah if he made the human race (which I doubt) but Jesus loves me this I know, 'cause the book of myths tells me so. (I wonder how far those American extremists will go on that?)
