A mail I received and found amusing :D

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream??

Why does the Alphabet song (a b c d e f g…) and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Stop singing and read on......

Did you ever notice that when you blow air in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

Why is it that people say he "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
- This is based on the fact that counting four billion objects is a basically impossible task.

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
- Based on the old Television show this was necessary since the bullets were effects and the gun real.
Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
- When freezers were first invented they were not frost free and the light would have eventually been cover by frost leading to an unappealing sight. In addition the bulb required to work in those temperatures created too much heat.
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
- Goofy is anthropomorphized character.

Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream??
- Yes.

Why does the Alphabet song (a b c d e f g…) and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Stop singing and read on......
- The ABC song was set to a popular children’s tune to encourage learning.

Did you ever notice that when you blow air in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
- This is based on the air reaction to the dog’s nose.

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
- In some models, yes. This is was originally created to allow “fire operation”

Why is it that people say he "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?
- It refers to the quality of rest not the quantity.

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?
- Older remote required a hard press to get a good contact.

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
- They want your money.
