Because it would bump into the moon.

Why don't we go back to the moon?

Because its cheesy surface is being eaten away by interstellar mice.

Can we find a race of space-faring cats to combat this deadly threat?

I think we can find them in an Anthology called "Cats in Space and Other Places."

But where will we find the people who will cherish and honor the cats, thus encouraging them to stay at their jobs?

Naturally humans would be great at this job, and since we're here anyway, not really doing anything, that would be a great job.

But what about the evil race of space-pirate-dogs, who will combat these evil cretins?

The hero race of super kitties. They will chase the dogs and claw them on the nose.

Where in the world can one find Responsible Government?

You must go to another world to find that, I don't think our world is capable of sustaining a responsible one. :roll: :lol:

What does a football player finding Jesus have to do with him being charged with dog fighting?

Well, this takes some explaining.
First, contrary to most evidence concerning footballplayers, this unique footballplayer had no queer leanings whatsoever. Hence, a catfight is out of the question.
Second, since cats are fiends from hell*, and cats and dogs are natural opposites, it is only to be expected that you'll find Jesus whilst in a dogfight.

Why does it itch?

Peter Piper picked ONE peck of pickled peppers.

But if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many PEPPERS did Peter Piper pick? (You have to say it out loud 5 times fast or the answer doesn't count.)

Roughly 4.128227 US (Winchester) pecks to the UK Imperial bushel.
Note that the legal definition of pi in the US is 107521/34225 since a peck is 537.605 cubic inches, the volume of a cylinder 18½ inches in diameter and 2 inches deep.

What is the question to end all questioning?

I originally wrote "question", then altered it to "answer". I'm switching back to question so it fits better with Laurie's post.

Because nothing is as joyous as Christmas, so the next week seems extra bad in comparison.

Why do cats always land on their feet?

Two--a male and a female--the trick is finding a big enough lightbulb to accommodate them and their friskiness and getting them inside of it.

Why would anyone want to screw in a light bulb?
