Why is the sky blue?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, do you think I care?

for the same reason Chefs, Nurses, Doctors, and Shieks do...ok, maybe not the same as shieks...

more accurately asked: is the sound actually existant, if no one hears it? because if no one hears it, it's unproven that it occured. heh. ;)

Actually, the sky is slightly purple, we just see blue much better. Weird ain't it? :)

Why is the grass green?
Because if the sky was green, you wouldn't know where to quit mowing the grass...

Mostly because the primers/compounds are all white, so belive it or not, white looks clean the longest

Because you can BLEACH whites.

Capm, beat me to it, that is why, because you can soak out a paint stain with bleach. dont try to wash it with paint on it first, pre-treat it. then wash

If a man is alone in a forest and speaks, is he still wrong?

It's cooler (black absorbs light, white reflects it)

That may be true, and yet Bedouins wear black from head to toe in the desert - and they've had thousands of years experience of dealing with heat.

Because most of the stuff they paint is white or a light color (example: ur wall)
Also when ur spraying bleach or any other stripper to get mold off a deck/house before u stain it, the bleach wonâ??t turn ur dark pants tie-dye =)

And no one that paints takes the time to bleach their stuff, I know I paint

Why do humming birds fly backwards?
Answer: so all the other little birdies can kiss thier a..es
They wear white because they have been known to drink alot and do lsd.. it is so they don't see wild colored vapor trails, and miss corners on the ceiling as they paint.. I think!!
By the way.. know how to drive the little moron crazy?
Put him in a round room and tell him to pee in the corner!!! :P
