what poignant questions mahmood :grinnod:…
something to think about (particularly the chicken one)
I have one more:
why do bedridden people think up such quickies?
(you need to get out more..shh)
If an astronaut cries in space, do tears float or flow down their faces?
what a really silly question!!
by the way, i really don’t know the answer !!! 😆
of course its gonna float! ( and maybe im wrong)! 🙄
You’re not the only one wondering why…
now that you mention it, doesn’t the hair on your legs grow slower than the hair on your head? maybe it’s a height thing…but I do know the 13 second chicken flight was in fact the record for the longest ever; most never even get off the ground…glad to see that you are recovering from your injuries
Some answers, but only to the non-important ones, I’m afraid:
Tears are water. Water has a very high surface-tension. The tears will simply pile up in their eyes until they wipe them away.
The more interesting question is how does fire look in zero-G.
It’s a trick to make non-fair dice harder to spot. This way, the expected value of the dice is likely going to be 3.5 even if the dice is not a fair dice.
Hmm, maybe this second one IS relevant to the rest of your questions after all….

Well there’s no reason for them to go down…or up….or left..or right… 🙂
…one thing ive always wondered is how its even possible for the stomach to digest any food in space since all of it is going to be floating around in it, instead of in one place where the stomach can mush it and add acid to it…
Mmm…gravity…

time will only tell ..
:no:
How come a chicken cannot fly for more than 13 seconds?
Selective breeding. The wild ancestor of the chicken is, in fact, a decent flier. Humans have gradually bred chickens for ever weaker muscles involved in flight. The reasons for this kind of breeding should obvious.
Some other poultry, like turkeys, are also naturally weak fliers. This is because they spending most of their time foraging for food on the ground and have only retained enough flying power to help them more easily evade predators.
Except for the first one all of them are relevant. Persian poets use to write poetry against the Shah saying good things and when you reverse it says what they really mean. The King of Hearts, your just refering to your own King who some people call the King of Hearts Mahmood, and saying he hasn’t got the courage to do what is necessary, hence the no moustache thing…. You just wrote something that the MOI bastards won’t detect, and your lil sarcastic blogger friends would…. that was a good one.. because otherwise there really would be no Mahmood!! would there…
Dubai, maybe you should think again before mentioning that Mahmood has no Bastard friends at MOI?
Working for the government is an honour for all Bahrainis. It follows the saying “Minkum Wa ilaikum”.
Dubai, you’re reading FAR too much into it. I was stating a fact, look at the deck of cards and see whether the King of Hearts does have a moustache? It’s just an observation on my part, nothing more and nothing less. You taking it to that path is rather disturbing.
Why do fingernails grow faster than toenails?
Genetics or plain simply more wear and tear on the fingers is more prompting the body’s repair mechanism to grow it again.
How come all the newly elected General Voting Centres’ MPs got in with percentiles lower than 56% (1st round wins)?
No transparency and not enough monitors. Amnesty international should intervene.
How come a King of Hearts is the only king in the deck without a moustache?
The queen of hearts hates to be kissed with whiskers.
How come most if not all of the Menber candidates who were “selectedâ€Â, slipped in by the votes cast in General Voting Centres?
As you said before, hanky panky or selective voting.
How come we are a kingdom and our king has not gone through coronation?
He is wearing the tribal crown Agaal! He is not ostentatious. He must appear closer to his people in appearance and personality with the marks of royalty in his persona and attitude.
Will we ever be treated to a Royal Golden Carriage and a coronation ceremony?
Perhaps a golden saddle for the Royal mount. Ceremonies means wastte of money and boot lickers coming to pay respect. It is better to command it. The pen is mightier than the sword here. You get the referendum approved by the electorate and declare that a per that agreement I am King.
How come a chicken cannot fly for more than 13 seconds?
Because they have evolved this way or have been selective bred, plus they are fat with weak wings…..simple physics.
Why didn’t the Ministry of Islamic Affairs not prosecute a single preacher for braking the law and telling his congregation who to vote for?
Because ISlam was used as a tool to brainwash voters into thingking that there are un-islamic elements among some of the candidates and generally when Islam has been misused this way claiming it was for the sake of Islam then no one opens their mouth.
Will they sell china services with a newly crowned king on them if and when this happens?
Nope, only the king can use this kind of China. When they need revenue for the government, then only they will start selling it. Thanks for the Idea.
If an astronaut cries in space, do tears float or flow down their faces?
No. They float in space due to lack of gravity.
Why is it not a crime to call someone a heretic? Especially as that could be the literal death penalty for the accused?
Bahrains population will go down if they start hanging most of the heretics.
How come opposite sides of a dice cube always add up to seven?
No Idea, I don;t like to gamble with dice. The result isalways dicey 😆 😆
If there is to be a coronation, can I get the job of placing the crown?
You can apply if you are a Mullah as it has to have the religious guys endorsement. Get fitted for e turban and please star using fundamentalist expletives to curse down us kaafirs, you might just get the job.
The question was the other way around Mav! Look at it again.
But… but… but… I’m an Alawi, isn’t that enough? I can even go multicultural and wear a gold-thread embroidered bisht and ghutra without an ugal!
Purleeeze?
I want a corination tea towel. =P
wow, i actually thought the king of hearts question was referring to our “beloved king” till going through the comments! and i didnt consider myself reading too much in to it, lol.. i need a break off politics =(
If there is to be a coronation, do we get a Coronation Street?
If there is a coronation, do people loans and debts get discounted?
If there is a coronation, would the dethroning of Al-Nu’aimi make it doubly sweet?
I have one:
Why do 24hour shops have shutters?
Didn’t we all think about the same thing?? Why? Because that’s the taboo and we all love to cross the line, reach for the sacred icon and break the taboo. Let’s say Mahmood didn’t mean it, but it’s our wishful thinking!
Mahmood what I said was for laughs, perhaps I misunderstood, what with not having my morning dose of caffein.
What were u trying to say buddy…..
I any case…nice buncha quickies…..
Well for the simple reason that 99% of the time the shop wasn’t specifically designed to be a 24 hour shop. Hence if it was a 12 hour a day clothes shop it would need shutters and if it didn’t have them, well… you could imagine! They look cool when they’re rolled up too 🙂
I like the Coronation Qs a lot. Placing the Crown job is completely off your limits. Being Alwi will definitely disqaulify you from the post since the interview and emplyment committee is 100% extermists and salafis. Try your luck with wefaq!
Thanks for the brainstorming IQ questions..
keep it ALAWYS up
Oh oh oh…
Why do drive through ATMs have braille on the buttons?! (and consider the fact that it is difficult to use those ATMs when ur standing outside the car…)
Hell, why do ATMs have braille at ALL, since non of them actually read out whats on the screen… !!!
😆 brilliant one naddooi!
Mahmood..Your first link should have come with a warning!!! Should you be kind enough and ask people to turn off their computer’s speakers before they try opening the link!!!
Naddooi, these machines are imported from countries that have facilities for the blind and hence you see the braille. If it was manufactured in BAH you would then see Arabic next to English.
hhahahahahahahahaha
sorry SBG! Maybe I should stick a NSFW label on the post! 😆
How come we have a King and we dont have a Queen?
Nice questions, Mahmood.
I am not in favor of kings. However, if Bahrain is to have a coronation, given what you tell us about Bahraini politics, you should be the one who WEARS the crown
Wearing a crown makes not a king or queen, win the hearts of your people and you shall reign in their hearts and mind for ever….you shall truly be Mufadha for them…..
With regards to the ATMs, apparently (I do not claim this as 100% true, as I am still to confirm it myself, but apparently), even in countries with these facilities, the drive through ATMs still have braille…
Just something to ponder 😉
And another thing to ponder… talking ATMs… “your balance is -3,459.19″… Yikes! I guess it might deter muggers?
