Why do we have to press Start if we want to shut down any MS windows operating system? (This one is my favorite!)
If its a square, why is it called a boxing ring? And something that I often personally wondered but didn't really care to find out... Where will a magnetic needle point if you are standing bang on the north pole or the south pole.. Will it hang in a vertical position if suspended in mid air? How would you know east from west when standing dead on the north or south pole?

I too have too much time on my hands, so since nobody is asking, "Which came first the chicken or the CHICKEN egg" I'll try to answer it anyway. If you believe in a literal creation, then God said "Let there be a chicken" and behold, there was one. The egg came later. But according to evolution, there was a long transition period before a creature that was almost a chicken laid an egg, out of which hatched the first real chicken. Which leads a new question: Was that egg a chicken egg because a chicken hatched out of it, or a not-quite-a-chicken egg because a not-quite-a-chicken laid it?
