I will attempt to answer your questions. I'm not really this literal, just to let you know. ;)
1) No, apparently tear ducts cannot release tears underwater due to hydrostatic pressure. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/55301
2) Assasination is the murder of an important figure, usually "a political figure or other strategically important individual". There is still a gray area as to what defines an assassination. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination
3) Lol. Just a play on words?
4) It's a conspiracy. Same reason hot dogs come in packages of 10 while hot dog buns come in packages of 8. Since, the meat doesn't completely fill up the space of the bread, you are compelled to buy more meat.
5) The extra cent is the fee to express one's opinion. Thoughts by themselves are worth one cent apiece. Most people sell their thoughts to pay the fee, which is why you're usually no richer than when you started.
6) No, heaven is the ultimate state of happiness, meaning one gets to choose what one wears. The dead are usually dressed in nice clothes to look good for the wake.
7) Pizzas come in square boxes so that they can be more easily recycled and because it's cheaper to cut a square out of cardboard than a circle. This way there's also more room for small containers of extra condiments and packets of cheese and hot peppers.
8) Curing is a food preservation process. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_%28food_preservation%29
9) Priority. Man thought it was more important that we beat the Soviet Union in the race to the moon. Plus, luggage with wheels isn't a perfect concept - try lugging those things up stairs.
10) Babies may sleep irregularly, but they look very peaceful when they do. Ever wonder why we have the expression "eats like a bird"? Birds actually eat a proportionately large amount of food considering their size.
11) Probably not, but maybe. Depends how big a jerkweed your boss is. A guy once got fired for eating two slices of pizza from the company party.
12) Just an idiom. Same reason we "fill out" an application, not "fill in".
13) I don't know about other people, but I use those binoculars to look at the horizon. If I wanted to see people that look like ants, I would look at real ants and buy myself a gumball instead.
14) There's usually also a third-party candidate that detracts some votes from the two main candidates. Anyway, there are fifty candidates in the Miss America pageant because each state feels as if there should be equal representation. That's why there are 100 senators. However, the President accounts for the United States as a whole so equal reprsentation is unnecessary,
15) Some people feel more insecure about being watched during the act of changing. Go figure.
16) Nobody. He's already surrounded by 911 operators who can eliminate the middle man and get him help immediately.
17) Same reason "pants" is plural. There are two separate legs to pants and panties. A bra accomodates one chest while a pair of panties accomodates two legs.
