If you could know the answer to any one question, but not be able to share this knowledge with anyone else, what would it be?
Myself, I would like to know what actually happened when JFK was assasinated.
why do pigeons exist? and why can't i be a dinosaur when i grow up? lol
If I wanted to know the answer to any question I wanted but not share the knowledge, then why would I share the question with you? lol
The truth about life, death,souls,re-incarnation,angels,demons and all that stuff...would I be the unique one?lol
what makes people think of questions that have nothing to do with anything they are doing, interested in, have to do with at all, or make no sence at all?
How much wood COULD a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
What's love? Does GOD really exist?
and yes, are there vampires? haha!
is the answer to life the uneverse and everything realy 42??? (the hitchikers guide)
i do have a question and i am not able to share the knowledge
The awnser to any question.....
I guess there is only one question that really irks me....
why?
I figure that once I know that awnser that the gods will smite me tho so I don't look too hard when they are looking....
I think I could come up with a few answers to that one Gorey. But I'll keep my mouth shut.
Although, I'm hoping you're not referring to the subject of this thread.
no... not this thread...
although you are right. i could come up with a few answers to it myself.
i've got one question though
"just how big is the universe?"
how can it be infinite but growing or shrinking?
I would ask what the most important question was, and then work out the answer for myself.
RE: needless228
Yes. Don't ever question Douglas Adams.
i wud ask
y are we here?
coz i donno
just a kool question
n to know the real reason not just the ones ppl come up wiv
that wud be kool
I like that one Echo.
But... if the most important question is, "What is the most important question?"
then the purpose would be defeated. :)
I'd like to know what really happens to us when we die. Do we just rot 6 feet under, or do we go someplace else?
I like your point Duc, but once again, we are defeated by not being able to lok outside the huge box we've drawn for ourselves.
What if I took my gift of being able to ask one question, and the answer I got was "I dont know."
Ahhh... but the stipulation was that you couldn't share the answer to the question... so you wouldn't be able to play the numbers, as they have to be punched into a machine, and someone else would be able to play the same numbers that you gave them to play.
And Echo, I agree... not enough people think outside of the bun.. I mean box.... sorry.... getting hungry ;)
hmm...well what makes you think that i would say to the person "guess what?! i KNOW the lottery numbers! this is what they are...for sure..no doubt..some magical being told me what they are!!" ...
besides that, lotteryuniverse.com , no need to say a word to anyone :-)
SolidGraySky- I love the way you are trying to define 'word.' :-)
If you put them on a ticket, then its there for all to see. A word doesn;t need to be said to say everything you are thinking. Besides, only 7% of communication is verbal!
Plus, I know from personal experience, that there are times that someone will play a set of lottery numbers (I'm talking about at a convience store, etc) and the person working that runs them through the machine will run the same set of numbers.
I've done it before out of sheer boredom.
define word...is that what i'm trying to do...
as far as i can tell...
submitting some numbers to an online lotto ticket generator, (or even just buying the goddamn ticket from a cashier) doesn't qualify as telling someone that i know what the right numbers are going to be.
Is there anything past our universe? And what would it be?
lol.
ok then, i'll share the winnings with the cashier, if he/she is lucky enough to be bored enough when I'm buying a ticket...and whatever other person happens to play the same numbers.
actually, no, i retract my glib lottery answer.
I will ask "is there a god?"
is that bland enough to go under the radar?
Even at that, you're picking at technicalities, when it should be fairly obvious the intent is to have the knowledge for the sake of knowledge.
I want to know what's out there. Every little thing. I'm grredy. I want to know, "What's out there?" in every sense of the question.
Yes, I know my puny head would pop.
Mordes gets to know everywhy. I can think of my own reasons for why, but I want to know everywhat and everywhere for everywhen.
bah,
well if you can create a technicality by claiming that typing #s into an automated system is the same as telling someone ...then i can pick at them.
at any rate..to answer the question with this new found information that it would have to be merely for informational sake...
i dont think i'd want to know anything.
everything that i want to know, strictly for the sake of information, would be something that i would want to share with people. i'd want to know the solutions to global problems, the origin of life, the destiny of the planet, but only if i could share these things with other minds who might be more able to use them than myself.
if i knew how be assured entry to heaven, or the meaning of life, or whether or not there was a god, or *everything*
but couldnt tell anyone else, it would eat me up. would i have to pretend to not know if someone asked my opinion? would i have to lie?
i think that the only thing that i would want to know without being able to share...would be something practical and short term.
the question I would really like to know is why can't I see through walls?????? ;)
It makes me sad not knowing why.
why are we here, whats the purpose of this miserable life
Time travel. It's proven possible in science, but how to actually do it and prove it.
Area 51. What's the truth behind it?
Classified my ass. That's a secret and you know it! -Corey Taylor
I'd also like to know what the other 88% of the human brain is for.
who killed my mother and why did they leave me alive.
There's a real one for ya
::: making a note never to buy a quick pick lotto ticket :::
but as far as unanswerable questions go.. i think i'd like to know when i'll die.. i like to be prepared :)
the answer to Xander's question would probly be: as much wood as a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.
and Septus- i know what u mean! i wanted to be a bird when i grew up. (but then those inconciderate adults w/ their "well THATS not logical!" squashed my hopes and drems!- the basterds! lol)
but my question would have to be......hm..... when, if ever, am i going to see my true love again?! *tear*
SolidGreySky -
The reason I would want to know everything but the why is so that it wouldn't pick at me.
I'd have the rest of my life and beyond to figure out the why. I'd have better questions for myself.
I would ask
'If a tree falls in the middle of a forest, and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound?'
and
'Which came first; the chicken or the egg'
and last but not least
'Can pigs really fly?'
lol, i crease to amaze myself with stupidity. ^_^
hmm well.. I am like Pandora I would have to ask why was my mom taken from me at a time she was.
well, HowlingWolf, just so ur not wondering anymore.....
if a tree falls and no one is there to hear it then more than likely its still gonna make noise.
the chicken came first, not the other way around.
pigs could fly if god wanted em too,............or if you threw em lol
anyone else got questions?
i love tryin to answer them =D
Hmm... you know.. I'm kinda unsure about this one. I want to know too many things. Wait... I got one... Why fishsticks? :-P *
Why didn't the good majority of you goggle whore your questions before posting? Lol I know I know, knock it off. Well heres one, Just How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Well the world may never know. Now this may never be answered scientifically because you have to facotr in quite a bit such as tongue length, salivation, tootsie pop diameter and density. Who knows...I sure would like to some day.
To Answer The Person Before Me...It takes 27 licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop....heh...Why Do People Get Hurt By The Opposite Sex?
People hurt because they were trained by society about what is acceptable to label as "pain" and what's not.
Fear is another one. A newly crawling baby will lean over the edge before falling and not fear it until they are responded to. And then after they fall, they look around wondering "wtf" and will cry [again] if responded to about the "pain" they think they feel..
I think there are alot of questions that can be answered for you if you are ready to hear the truth.
[I kinda like that one as a quote.]
=]
I want to know if theres a god. Its starting to piss me off. Actually, i think i would want to know how this world actually got here. By genesis, evolution, whatever. how the hell did it happen? gah
~Morgana~
Nothing Is Trivial.
I would like to know why life has to be taken from people that deserve to be here on this earth and will actually make the world a better place instead of the hell whole it is.
If i Knew how i got here , why and the secret to immortality (as i do)
I would share with no-one
Well except maybe the person i wish to share eternity with.
Why we and this planet really exist? What sick purpose do we really serve. in life?
TD your question of why can be answered easily. When my niece and nephews asked that question my reply is because.
Because is the answer.
DA, it was Mordes that asked "Why?" not I. I think you're slipping in your old age. ;)
pandora_23_2000, Moonie ... and to all others who would ask this question in the similar form of ... Why did this happen to me ... the answer is this ... Had certain events not transpired in our lives we would likely be a different person them we are today ... very possibly not even on this very site asking that very question ... I too asked that same question for years and years .. still do .. but the answer always boils down to that ... to make me who I am today ...
Now as for me ... Why is it in MOST human nature to feel/think/believe that we need Love in order to feel complete?
(I say MOST so as not to have a bunch of people coming back and saying ... "I don't need love" ... yet if they were to be honest with themselves, somewhere deep inside that is one thing they truly wish to achieve ... it's HUMAN NATURE, I believe we were made to love and be loved ...) So why???
Why are and where most wars about religion when alot of religions say not to kill.
My question would have to be........Why are people are so sick and twisted that they have to end innocent peoples lives without a second thought?
This is a question I have had for many a year... What does clear really look like?... Clear is only what is behind it... I would love to know what clear, by itself, looks like...
i have one question that i keep asking myself all the time........why am i the way i am?
Are there other worlds in outerspace? Do aliens really exist? can people ever trust one another? What is love? Why can't life tell/show us all the answers and make life a little more simple?
I would love to know...who or what created God? How did he evolve?
