Have you ever wondered about things that seem like paradoxes?
Or, put another way, have you ever wondered...

- If actions speak louder than words, why is the pen mightier than the sword?
- Do radioactive cats have 18 half-lives?
- If the product is better than the leading brand, then why isn't it the leading brand?
- What if there were no hypothetical questions?
- If tomatoes are a fruit, then wouldn't ketchup be a smoothie?

If so, or any of the above questions seem interesting, this is the right thread for you! Here is where you can post all your burning questions and paradoxes and discuss them!

Let's keep this lighthearted and non-political. The last thing I want to see is another heated argument here.
If you see anyone attempting to start an argument, PLEASE IGNORE THEM.

Why do cars park in driveways and drive in parkways?

Why does your nose run, and your feet smell?

Why is the convention of positive charge indicating a lack of electrons still used?

[I've been wondering the same thing! We naturally associate + with gaining something, and - with losing something, so working with electrons presents a double negative.]

Why is "-bell-" associated with both beauty and war?

[Ignore the blatant fact that Latin existed long before Cicero.]

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does a hipster buy its album? :lol:

If Aspies are smarter than most people...
If we live up to the phrase 'Little Professors'....
If we see things differently, and better...

Why don't the NTs just let US run things?
