"Ask the Kiwi Guy" the third!

[Kagato]

Old habits die hard... so it is time for another round of craziness!

Same as the last couple of threads: basically I'm doing a bit of a ripoff of the videoclips some of you may have seen called "Ask that guy with the glasses".

The whole point of this thread is to ASK QUESTIONS, no matter how stupid/silly - but be aware that the answer may not be what you anticipated! The old system of answering in large batches was a bit of a failure, so I'll probably just answer as I get them this time. (Try to keep to a maximum of THREE questions per post to give others a fair chance - You are welcome to ask multiple sets of questions, though note that people who have not yet had questions answered will get priority)

Where does the "other sock" go when it disappears from the drier?

[dalesys]

Are Girl Scouts the reason NZ no longer has the big birds?

Why is "I before E except after C" a rule when more words disregard it that follow it?

They go to the great black hole fishing pond at the end of the universe. Sometimes you may catch one, other times you may catch a meaningless question if you are really lucky. Just take a right turn at Alpha Centauri.

Are Girl Scouts the reason NZ no longer has the big birds?

No, that would be due to the north koreans. It is a little known fact that giant birds are an even more potent weapon source than plutonium. Do you know how hard it is to get bird crap stains out of clothing?!?

Why is "I before E except after C" a rule when more words disregard it that follow it?

Because the evil kiwi overlords demand it. We must always obey the kiwi overlords.

Why do we (in the US) drive on "parkways" and park in "driveways"?

[fireheart]

Why do we call them "apartments" when they're all stuck together?

Why do we call very small apartments with only a couple of rooms "studio" apartments?

Is the internet really for porn?

Because the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man demands it.

Why do we call them "apartments" when they're all stuck together?

Because it is not a very well known fact, but apartment buildings are actually transformers, hence the need for them to come apart. No one knows how to actually activate them though, sadly. Please let me know if you find out.

Why do we call very small apartments with only a couple of rooms "studio" apartments?

Have you ever seen a studio booth that animation voice actors use? Those things are damn tiny! In respect, or possibly fear of their sadistic nature, architects decided to name them "studio" apartments - because people can't stand staying in them for more than a short time.

Is the internet really for porn?

No no no... it is for making fun of Jersey shore.

I need more questions, people!

If I can get at least 5 questions, I will make the next one a video reply!

Why is it that when I go to the pool with my son, babies come up and stare and babble at me? Is it like how cats attach themselves to allergic people, only babies are somehow attracted to people who don't like them? Or are babies just jerks, like cats are?

This has happened to me my entire life. I have NEVER liked babies, but they sure like me.

Why do even numbered state roads say east/west, and odd numbered roads run north/south, even if the actual roads runs completely opposite directions?

[Chromatix]

Why is the sky blue?

Why is the sky yellow? (...at night...)

Why does Grandpa's old computer (from 1998) run so slowly, while Uncle Pekka's old computer (from 1991) runs such awesome games?

Why haven't earth felines signaled the Feline Overloards of Seti Nine that the Earth has already been conquered yet?

[fireheart]

Why is horrible histories so damn addictive?

[Kagato]

Sorry about the delay on my reply guys, I've had a bit of a cold the past few days, I'm waiting for that to clear up before I start working on it - so the video should be up in the next 7 days or so.
