Questions

Why is it rabbits run in front of cars in the evening?
This is not strictly rabbits, it seems many small mammals exhibit this same behavior. I have a theory… I think that this feat of daring do, namely running in front of a car and narrowly being mowed down, is an initiation rite. If the buck does it and lives he can go over and do a doe. Think about it, could be.

Do deaf people think with sounds when thinking?
You know the drill. You’re driving along and thinking to yourself and listing in your mind the things you have to do. In your head you hear yourself list the items. If someone is deaf and never understands the concept or experiences sounds as a mode of communication, can they think in it? If they don’t, how do they express the ideas to themselves, visualize sign language? Is thinking in sound “audiolizing”?

Why is it that the bad guys armies always goosestep when on parade?
Is it my imagination or do all the enemy armies on parade goosestep? You watch it on TV and you see it in the old news reels, they all goosestep. Now the goosestep gait is not very efficient for marching, extra bouncing and the short strides (for the really impressive goosestep) just slow everything down. Why bother?

Walking, talking and chewing gum, do people have really have to multitask while driving?
As you may know I drive a cab all day. It is fair to say that I have seen all kinds of people on the road, but the ones that scare the hell out of me are those talking on the cell and doing something else AND driving all at the same time. They drive too slow, too fast or swerve randomly. The cut corner too close and come up on people too fast and close. In short they are hazards. I see at least two or three accidents a day and I would say about half involve someone with a phone stuck in their ear. Why do we still do it?

I bet you have imponderable questions too… I would love to hear them.
