The Random Question Thread

Where are the Alec Burks 2013-2014 season mix tapes? Where you at youtubers? Was that question too 'Jazz related' to be considered "random"?
 
the bulging speedos comment in another thread reminded of a debate I had with a friend, we never did settle it, so I'm putting the question here for you geniuses to contemplate...

Is it "tidy whities" or "tighty whities"?

Tighty...no doubt. Nothing that touches a mans *** is going to be tidy.

well perhaps not visible from the outside - -

I had never given it much thought until a friend wanted to write it for some reason. Logically, it seemed "tighty" made more sense although that didn't seem like a real word (and spell-check/auto-correct doesn't want to accept it), and "tidy" makes sense in that they present a neat and tidy appearance rather than a sloppy appearance...

I like how you're sexy in a grandmother kind of way. Which one were you thinking it was?

Tighty made more sense logically? Please speak to this.
 
Why is it that outcome is not the opposite of income?

I mean really, it seems logical that those two words should be opposites.

One man's outcome is another man's income.

Has a nice ring to it. I'll see if I can pull some strings.

A few more conundrums about the ins and outs of coming and going...

You can have an outcome and an income and you can be outgoing or incoming. So why isn't there any outcoming? And yet there is "coming out." Does this seem a little strange?

I know what you mean, so don't ask if I "know what you mean".

well, logically, I guess I know what you say, so if you can say what you mean, how many people will understand what you say to mean what you mean?

zero. Nobody else has your brain, or Moe's.

After a lifetime of philosophical musings and midnight ramblings, I'm not sure what any of it means, objectively speaking. I mean, does the universe record meanings any more concretely than it absorbs and disperses sound waves?

So what if nobody hears what you say? Does that mean it meant nothing?

So, at any rate, I imagine that opening up a skull and doing some kind of gross analysis after a person has died might be like studying a wilderness to divine the meaning of a bear's ramblings in the woods.

I say I know where the bears poop in the woods, but it's an idle boast I could not really prove.

even if you apply electrodes and record the "live" responses of that brain, how could we really know anything about the thought processes. . . . .

I'd guess I'm looking at it from the viewpoint that when a person's spirit or "intelligence" is gone, like when a driver is gone from a vehicle, we could not really recover the scenes of the deceased person's memories, any more than those from a car's windshield. . . ..

all this, spawned at 4 am, from a simple wishful musing of your own, said in jest. . . . .

Outgo and income.

Eureka!!! Glad someone understands
:D

A greatly entertaining book - STIFF by Mary Roach - anybody read it?

Here's one of the chapters:
Chapter 9: Just a Head: Decapitation, reanimation, and the human head transplant
