Tho I doubt you meant this at all seriously, I'll make these comments -
Why is a strange creature. We ask why and are satisfied when we are told a cause for the event in question. But usually what we think of as a "cause" merely precedes it in time. "Why" does holding a match to paper cause it to ignite? Well, we say wisely, because it excites the molecules, blah blah. Yah? Well "why" does it do that? Well, uh, the uh, kinetic energy levels and uh, so forth.
Right.
Ultimately we don't know "why" a gawd damn thing happens, only that some things seem to cause other things to happen. Seem to. Here on earth, under these conditions of gravity, electromagnetism,etc. Understood to the limit of human understanding which may be a thousandth of what's available.
Ultimately, to answer any "why" question, you would have to go back to the design of man, or in simple terms, know the mind of god.
So for your apparently nonsense question, I'd say "why" is a concept whose "because" doesn't really exist in any substantive form, only transient cause and effect snippets.
