Meaning of life-type stuff
(As I was typing, I realized I should have made some kind of "are you pondering what I'm pondering" joke, but I'm tired and bored and my eyes feel too big and I won't be able to go home until 10:00pm tonight, so using the word "ponder" is as far as I can be bothered right now.)
That being said, I should also not that I did not come up with the following questions, I merely gleaned them. Most are anonymous, I view I recognize as having been atributed to Stephen Wright.

Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?
Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?
What's the synonym for thesaurus?
How come wrong numbers are never busy?
Where is Old Zealand?
Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?
Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Why aren't there ever any guilty bystanders?
If you're a kleptomaniac, is there something you can take for it?
Why can't you make another word using all the letters in "anagram"?
Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
Can you buy an entire chess set in a pawnshop?
Why do people always remember where they were when someone famous was killed? Do they feel perhaps they'll need an alibi?
If athletes get athlete's foot, do astronauts get mistletoe?
Why do people tell you when they are speechless?
Why do the signs that say "Slow Children" have a picture of a running child?
If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?
When they first invented the clock, how did they know what time it was to set it to?
Why don't they call mustaches "mouthbrows?"
If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry?
Who opened that first 'oyster' and said "My, my, my. Now doesn't 'this' look yummy!"
Why get even, when you can get odd?
Which is the other side of the street?
Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
If you, like me, are bored, listless, tired, or otherwise out of sorts currently, spend a few minutes considering the issues herein. You may find that some of these make so much sense when you're a little loopy from lack of sleep or cough medicine or whatever.
If nothing else, you'll kill a few minutes and be that much closer to going home.
