Who decided that a round pizza should be put in a square box?

 

Easy answer! So it is easier to get out. Don't you always reach in from a corner for the first piece?

Bubblewrap.

 

Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

 

In case of turbulence?

 

 

 

Along the same lines as the pizza box, sort of: Why are manholes, and manhole covers, round?

 

And of course: What is the average air speed of an unladen swallow?

Manhole covers are round so they can't fall though the manhole. Any other shape, you can stand the cover on edge and turn it until it'll fit through the hole.

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

A manhole cover in the shape of an equilateral triangle will work the same as a round one!

 

I know!! A little abstract, but true nonetheless!! :rolleyes::wacko::lol:

Because if the manholes were square and the manhole covers were round they wouldn't fit.

You are absolutely correct! These are the only two easily manufactured shapes that fill the bill regarding both flush fit and not falling thru the opening..

 

The round shape has saftey and production ease advantages,

 

You must be an engineer or tecnician, or someone with uncommon, common sense ! :D;)

As long as we're discussing trivial abstract nonsense, I figured out a way to drop a triangular manhole cover through its hole.




Picture the equilateral cover and the second diagram in the attached link. Visualize the line from top corner to the midpoint of the bottom side. The diagram labels this line hc.


Now visualize the distance from the top corner to the left corner. In the diagram, this would be line C-A.


hc is substantially shorter than C-A, and if you stood the manhole cover on its edge with hc in a horizontal direction and its widest point, it would neatly slide through the hole if it were rested on the side of the hole along line C-A.

If the plural of Mouse is Mice;

What is the plural of Spouse? :unsure:

 

Headache

 

 

 

Along those lines, in one of the Chinese dialects the word for trouble is written/drawn to imply two women under one roof.

Sure, its a bit sexist and for that I apologize to the ladies, But you've got to admit, it IS funny,

 

 

More questions:

 

Why isn't there a mouse-flavored cat food?

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

Is there another word for synonym?

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
