Oh, of course! It's obvious!

But what are we going to do about it?

That works as an alternate answer, yes. Therefore, mathematically,

"because" = "why not?"

By threads like this one, you mean threads that are totally useless and a complete waste of everyone's time? Then, yes, I totally agree.

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?

Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards?

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

Why is it so hard to remember how to spell MNEMONIC?

Why does your nose run and your feet smell?

Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?

Why doesn't "onomatopoeia" sound like what it is?

Why do 'tug'boats push their barges?

Why are they called 'stands' when they're made for sitting?

Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing?

Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a "near miss"?
Shouldn't it be called a "near hit"?

Why is it called 'after dark', when it is really after light?

I think it's a very sad state of affairs when the only witty response I can think of for this thread is this:

Why ask why, Bud Dry?



sigh. lame. lamer. lamest.

Hey cheerios, why are we beating up on Max? What'd he do wrong that I missed?

hmmm.... 6 X 7 = 42; the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Yeah, I guess you're right. That doesn't address why. But we might be on to something. Anyone know the proof of numbers? That might help answer why. I used to have it in my notes from college, but I never understood it anyway.
