Simple biology says that THE ROOSTER CAME FIRST (orgasm) ... then the HEN got preggers as a result ... and then the hen laid an egg. Got it ? Good. :roll:

As long as we're dishing out double entendres, why do French chefs spell "Chicken in Wine" as "Coq au Vin" ... is that a Freudian Slip, or perhaps a Jungian Negligee ?

No, a Freudian Slip is when your best buddy asks if you want “Coq au Vin" while wearing a Jungian Negligee?

another legit question with a scientific answer. THAT'S OFF TOPIC!!

Answer is that the oxygen in the atmosphere reflects light with wavelengths that correspond with that color of blue.

Also, I've never seen hotdogs in packs of 7. I thought they came in packs of 10.

When asked 'how are you?' can one accurately respond with 'extremely mediocre?"

Yes - especially if you are, in fact, feeling extremely mediocre. :P

If the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything, is 42, then why isn't the square root of pi 42 as well :?

Because of the Warre...er, wait, never mind.

Because of the Uncertainty Principle. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Humans of course. The Vatican, which has been preeching symbolic cannibalism & peddling in thaumaturgical transubstantiation magic for close to 2,000 years, has already granted official sanction to the practice. It's canon, dude.

Besides it's own ass, what was the last thing that went through the bug's mind when it struck your car's windshield this morning ?

Isn't it a bit unerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Yes, and it's even more unnerving to hear one say "Ooops" while yer laying on the operating table.

Look to see if anyone is looking and if not; shoot the animal, pull up the plant and stew them together.

Are Smurfs blue because they’re sad or are they sad because they’re blue?

Damn ... triply crossed post. Ah well, I'll just keep adding to it.
What should you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?
Shoot the former, and rip up the latter ... they were WARNED about the danger, and they chose to ignore it.
Are Smurfs blue because they’re sad or are they sad because they’re blue?
Neither. They're blue because they collectively have a wicked case of "blue balls". You would too if you were part of an all male tribe of over-endowed satyristic midgets with only one lone female amongst the lot of them ... and a lesbian one at that. Incidentally, all those blue smurf berries in their diet cause them to piss and poop blue too. They just can't win.

It's not suicide - it's murder. Go rent "Little Shop of Horrors", and you'll know what I'm referring to. Feed me Seymour !

So, if elephants never forget, how come they can't remember to vote republican on election day ?

It's quite easy to see the influence of Fellini, isn't it?

They're nihilists. It comes with the trunk.

Due to the Peter Principle that sh1t floats to the top. :slap:

Yes, but only rarely. I played cards with Jackson Pollock once, and he crushed my triple sevens on a jack high bluff ... and his face was as straight as the jack's. :x

Speaking of Pollock, why are people willing to shell out thousands of dollars for randomly splattered canvases ? I could do as well, or better, dribbling paint and bodily fluids into a room fan.

Probably. But Pollock comes from WYOMING.

Speaking of art, why do you suppose Picasso allegedly needed a new squeeze for each new canvas he attempted?

Because he was addicted to freshly squeezed orange juice. Hey, all famous artists have their quirks - some crazier than others. Picasso was actually pretty tame, compared to some of his contemporaries.

Speaking of which, do you know what Vincent Van Gogh did after reading the "Lend me your Ears" speech in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" ? :shock:

Ooohhh. Perspective's a bitch, eh?

Another art question - hypothetical situation: your house is on fire - inside the house are your beloved pet cat Foofur, and a priceless portrait by Rembrandt. You can only save one. Which one? The breathing life, or the art?

Ah, screw the cat and gimme the art. I'll put the proceeds towards all the priceless furniture she's clawed up over the years. No more allergy injections for me ! :thumb:

Say, did you know Ernest Hemingway was an alcoholic who used to write in the bathtub ? I've always wondered what was going through his mind when he was penning "Old Man and the Sea" while soaking next to his rubber duckie. If anyone's got a clue, spill it.

The only thing I know for sure that went through Hemingway’s mind was shotgun pellets, but that was way after he wrote the “Old Man and the Seaâ€

Yes ... and he was 10 feet closer to Hell without his monogramed handbasket. :deviate:

Say, is an "alien rectal probe" a legit answer for "sexual orientation (optional)" on a job application ?
