If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Okay, seriously. Whilst it's less fun to consider the obvious physical principles, consider this analogy. If you shut your eyes, does your monitor show some thing else?

Of course it makes a noise, physics doesn't stop when no-one observes it, just like Uwe Boll doesn't stop making films even though no-one watches them.

3) Wonder is a weird word. Whats the link from something amazing to pondering about something?
Surely something "wonderful" is "so amazing you have to wonder how it is possible"? Same rationale as using "unbelievable" as a superlative.

Is bread just raw toast?
Par-cooked at least, bread has to be baked or it's just dough.

If you're addressing snowflakes, do you address them individually or collectively?
Errr... a snowflakes.... some snowflakes... not really following you here. I'm not sure I'd address them, that might imply they were Mr and Mrs Snowflake and that I was a fruit-loop.

If you have "Never Gonna Give You Up" on your Ipod and hit shuffle, are you Rickrolling yourself?
No, you clearly secretly love Never Gonna Give You Up. And should probably graduate to DJ Morgoth's version. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN75im_us4k]

If two cross-dressers fall in love, are they gay or lesbian?
I'll pass this one on to a few of my gay/lesbian/trans friends but I suspect the answer they would give would be "If they're both transvestites then they're the biological gender and can be described accordingly, if they're both transsexuals then they're their adopted genders and can be described accordingly." My advice would be to just ask on an individual basis, people get touchy about gender/sexuality labels.

If a robot does "the robot" (the dance), would you say he's "doing the robot" or that he's just "walking around", annoyed at the fact that you think he's dancing?

And if a plant eats another plant, would the predator plant be called a carnivore, a herbivore, or an omnivore?

What is the difference between a duck?
Two and half between. Where have I heard this question? Impossible quiz?
I couldn't say... the first time I heard this question was in the 'Postal' movie, and it struck me as curious, even among all the madness of the movie.

Better question: Why the hell would anyone have "Never Gonna Give You Up" on their Ipod?

Why, of all the violent media in the world, do video games get the blame for creating serial killers?

EDIT: Also, why does the USA still use 1 and 2 cent coins?

ANOTHER EDIT: I realise the first one isn't weird or random, but I think it is a good question.

Can you believe it's not butter? ]
- Well if it isn't butter, then why the hell is it going on my fully-cooked bread?

If a mime dies in the forest, does it make a sound?
- Do you really care?

(I understand the implications of it but...) Why is there expiry dates on sour cream?

Because you're actually doing the killing rather than just observing it.

Seriously do people really not get where they are coming from? It's not that hard to see it from their perspective.
