    I'm going to try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.

    "Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?"
    He is a fictional character.

    "Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?"
    I don't really, I just put in new ones instead.

    "Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?"
    Because it doesn't matter if the bank knows that you're broke or not, you still have to pay and if you can't it osts the bank money.

    "Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?"
    They don't; they wear a leather cap and goggles to protect from the cold so they won't die before they arrive at their destination.

    "Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?"
    There is significant research backing the theory that there are an incredible number of stars in the universe. However the only thing the wet paint has backing it is your word.

    "Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?"
    Probably either the Swedes or the Danes somewhere in the 17th century.

    "What is the speed of darkness?"
    Darkness is the absence of light, therefore it should move at the same speed as light.

    "Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?"
    Married people live longer, it does not only seem like it.

    "How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?"
    Wheels on luggage was not necessary for manned space flight, hence it did not hinder us.

    "Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?"
    Because from the top of a tall building you get a different perspective than what you would normally get.

    "Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?"
    Hint: You can toast more things than just bread.

    "Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?"
    Several reasons, some freezers have a light though.

    "Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?"
    Because pointing at a part of your body that emits excrement may seem impolite or just bad manners to some people.

    "Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?"
    The art of undressing is often considered to be more private than just being naked.

    "If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?"
    Testsical or tesicals if you are supposed to remove the last 2 letters.

    "If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?"
    Mineral Oil, Fragrance

    "If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?"
    No, morality is a set of values set up as socially accepted norms by people, not necessarily morons.

    "Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?"
    Because the tune is a classical piece and public domain.

    Hope that helps, I might not have given satisfactory answers on all questions but at least I tried to help you out.

      Way to go, bvre! Your answers are so much better than the questions that were copied from other sources (nothing original there). Some are jokes, but most are just a way of distinguishing the asker as being ignorant of general knowledge. There's a lot of that going around. Reply...

      Who are you and why are you here? "I know. I'll answer, to the best of my pathetic ability, every one of these questions, and prove once and for all my ignorant attempts to prove myself as intelligent!" Do you want a trophy or something? Maybe a plaque... it'll read: Honors for answering, to the best of his pathetic ability, every one of these questions on this website: http://www.spongefish.com/creations/5472-Questions-I-have-never-been-able-to-answer/steps/1, on the fifth day of February.

        "Who are you and why are you here?"
        I actually stumbled upon this site, unfortunately I don't feel comfortable giving away my personal information to you, as you obviously have it in for me.

        "Do you want a trophy or something?"
        No thanks, I'm actually good. Thanks for asking though.

        Hope that helps.

            Wow, some people just can't see the humour in absurdity!! It's true these questions have been floating around for a while...... but they're not meant to be taken literally!!! I got a laugh out of them because I took them at face value and didn't try to read anything into them, other than a little light humour. Reply...

          I find it ridiculous funny how seriously some people can take web pages - they should get rid of the comment button from some of these sites. But seriously. Just SHH. We were all already perfectly aware of what you took the time to point it out - however, the rest of us grasped the point that that is what makes it FUNNY.
