If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?
This depends on what exactly was yesterdays temp.

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

mental and physical health


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?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?'
this makes no sense whatsoever, all mammals are based on the same principal,
understanding mammary glands is pure instinct

Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum.'
*See statement above, eggs have/are mostly protein.

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?

*******************************************

I'm not sure what this question means, but I figure:

– The average year round earth surface temperature is 14° C. That's 287 kelvin, or 57.2° F.

So using this globel mean temp. of 57.2 as a base, and a zero degrees F as a refrence for the exercise, the temp. tomorrow will be - 57.2 or 57.2 degrees below zero F....no?

The original thread from mr. sPammy was just a spam post w/links to buy shoes.  But you did a good job answering the "unanswerable" questions!  :D

No, no NO!! I CANNOT let this stand!  ;D

T1 = O degrees F which is 255k.   The statement "twice as cold" while it sounds like a dippy word game, actually means those atomic vibrations we quantify as temperature, are going to be halved on the next day.  Therefore the Kelvin temperature is the one to divide by 2.  T2 = 255K/2 = 127.5K.  Converting that back to degrees F, tomorrow's temperature will be -230F.  

Take THAT, mr. questions-you-can't-answer sammy the spambot!  I win.  8-)

Logic 1a.  A self referential statement.  I much prefer the old catechism question, "Now then father, can God make a rock so big that he cannot lift it?"
