I will begin the game with this question:
Why is the sky blue?

I've heard that it's because of the refraction of light on particles in the air. It avoids all light in the spectrum except blue, which it causes to spread in the sky.


Or something like that.

Why are dogs better than cats?

I'd answer that question, but given cats are better I cannot.

Why do people suck so much?

No, no, no - that's not how it's played. It has to be related.

Example:
You should have only posted the answer. Then the next poster AFTER you posts the why? question.

Also, the why has to be directly related to the answer posted above. So a question of why that would have worked would be , "Why does refraction of light occur?"

Follow?

Why does the light refract?

(it has to be like the annoying 'why? why? why?' stupidity that kids do when they find out about causality)

No. :( I worked hard today... Sorry for ruining your game.

Rayleigh scattering.

Short wavelengths(blue) scatter more than long wavelengths(green, red) which makes the sky appear blue. The sky is in fact black.

In the scattering formula there is a 1/(labda)^4 somewhere, which gives you an idea of the difference.

wtf

why? [do scientists make things more complicated?]
rubah
10-30-2008, 02:35 AM
because the universe made itself complicated
Nominus Experse

Why would the universe make itself?
NeoTifa
10-30-2008, 02:56 AM
i think this is wrong
Momiji
10-30-2008, 02:56 AM
Because according to scientists, nothing else could have. :p

...I can't think of anything related. :p
rubah
10-30-2008, 03:06 AM
why do the scientists know?
Nominus Experse
10-30-2008, 04:05 AM
Through various tests and proofs the scientists have come to know.
NeoCracker
10-30-2008, 04:08 AM
How does one truly know what consitutes as "Proof"?

For example, some say video footage of a man peeing on a little girl is proof. Members who preside on the jury's, however, seem to think otherwise.

Why did the man pee on the little girl? :sad:

Proof said that he really really had to go. :rolleyes2
Flying Mullet
10-30-2008, 01:14 PM
Why did he really, really have to go?
NeoTifa
10-30-2008, 02:09 PM
(were totally playing this wrong, but i guess its working as it is....)

he drank too much moutain dew

why is mountain dew so delicious?
Flying Mullet
10-30-2008, 02:11 PM
You only ask or answer a question, not both. :p

Why did he drink too much?
Levian
10-30-2008, 02:29 PM
Because you get really thirsty when you eat salty food.
Flying Mullet
10-30-2008, 02:31 PM
Why do you get thirsty when you eat salty food?


Sorry for the excessive posting but I'm trying to show how the game works through example.
Levian
10-30-2008, 02:35 PM
Because your body tries to get rid of the excess salt, and one effective way to get rid of it is peeing it out, i.e. on a little girl.
rubah
10-30-2008, 03:01 PM
why is excess salt a bad thing?
NeoTifa
10-30-2008, 03:05 PM
because youll dry up like a snail
Flying Mullet
10-30-2008, 03:06 PM
Why would rubah dry up like a snail?
crazybayman
10-30-2008, 03:16 PM
Because she didn't drink enough mountain dew
Levian
10-30-2008, 03:20 PM
Why didn't she drink enough mountain dew when she still had the chance?
NeoTifa
10-30-2008, 03:21 PM
why?
Flying Mullet
10-30-2008, 03:22 PM
Because she's allergic to mountain dew.
NeoTifa
10-30-2008, 03:42 PM
XD how?.... wait.... now IM doing it wrong ._.
rubah
10-30-2008, 06:41 PM
Because she's allergic to mountain dew.

damn right I am.
Aerith's Knight
10-30-2008, 06:43 PM
Mountain ewww

Now for a real question: "What causes static, interference, the snow on tv, etc?"
crazybayman
10-30-2008, 06:43 PM
why is she allergic to mountain dew?
NeoTifa
10-30-2008, 07:08 PM
gtfo w/ your scientific crap, dennis!!!

because shes an alien from outer space!!!
Flying Mullet
10-30-2008, 08:13 PM
Why is she an alien?
rubah
10-31-2008, 12:53 AM
Because, being a resident of outer space means I am not a natural US citizen.
Bunny
10-31-2008, 12:58 AM
Why wouldn't you want to be a US Citizen?

No Vegemite.
Imperfectionist
10-31-2008, 03:05 AM
Why is there no vegemite?
Flying Mullet
10-31-2008, 02:28 PM
Vegemunchers ate the entire Vegemite crop this year.
NeoTifa
10-31-2008, 03:32 PM
porque?
rubah
10-31-2008, 04:44 PM
They were hungry
Bunny
10-31-2008, 04:47 PM
BUT RUBAH WHY WERE THEY HUNGRY
rubah
10-31-2008, 04:52 PM
They used up too much of their ATP and had to replenish their internal energy.
Flying Mullet
10-31-2008, 04:52 PM
Why had they used up too much of their ATP?
rubah
10-31-2008, 05:23 PM
they used it up when telling little mullets WHY.
crazybayman
10-31-2008, 05:24 PM
why did they tell little mullets why?
NeoTifa
10-31-2008, 07:40 PM
so he will shut up
Flying Mullet
10-31-2008, 07:48 PM
Why would he shut up?
Bunny
10-31-2008, 07:52 PM
Because his mouth was moving and words were coming out. Which has been proved to be a bad thing all around.
crazybayman
10-31-2008, 08:05 PM

Why is that a bad thing.....all around?

Why are you asking such an obvious question?
