This can be anything Gatch/BOTP's related or not...
I've just been coming across some quotes that appeal to my sense of humour.....I think its the irony that appeals to me..
"Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injection?"
Quote 2,
If the entire world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? (I think this one belongs to Katse/Zoltar.)
Ooh ooh I like these things.
Here are my additions.
Why isn't "Phonetic" spelled the way it sounds?
Why are there floatation devices under the seats of aircraft, but not parachutes?
If Jason's car was moving at the speed of light, what would happen if he turned on the headlights?
If the black box on an aircraft are indestructible, why aren't the planes made of the same thing?
Orange: Which came first, the colour or the fruit?
Why does Princess wear a pair of panties, but only one bra?
Why is it called a "near miss" if you don't hit something?

If firefighters fight fires... what do freedom fighters fight??
Why is the fear of long words "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia"?

Here's one of the oldest ones in the book..."Why do we drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway?"
This has always bugged me . . .
If flammable things can catch on fire then inflammable things should . . .? how that word ended up a synonym and not an antonym is beyond all logic.

Quote 2, If the entire world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? (I think this one belongs to Katse/Zoltar.)That's a good point in the first quote and as for the second one, then presuming the auidence are sitting in orbit. I like the quotes like these and I also like to ponder time to time. Try not to do much of it otherwise steam comes out of my ears when I think too much. Why is a fly called a fly?
These are great, guys!
Why do "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?
Originally posted by lborgia88 These are great, guys! Why do "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?"Slim chance" means what it sounds like--not very much chance at all. "Fat chance" is just good old sarcasm.
And I wonder, is it only the English language that contains contradictions like that one?
Heh, sarcasm makes many things possible with the English language. I'm reminded of this:
"A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the classroom piped up, "Yeah, right."
I've been reading them but I haven't had time to post! Heres another one...

Just once, I wish we would encounter an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets.
- Unknown
Foe some reason I thought of Jason when read this quote.
I can't remember where I have heard that from Ebony and now that will nag me for the rest of my life and it was recently as well.
Met it is from Doctor who, from the episode Robot

Hi all!
'Just once, I wish we would encounter an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets."-Brigader Alistair Lethbridge-stewart in "Dr. Who"And, just to bring this back on-topic, your trivia fact for the day. In the Japanese dub of Doctor Who, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was voiced by Mikio Terashima. Mr Terashima, in case you've forgotten, was the voice of Berg Katse. I've not heard this particular work of his, but I would assume that he used something closer to his normal speaking voice instead of his Katse voice when doing the character. James

The source I found it from didn't give a name! Thanks FB.
I grew up with DR Who. I have't seen much of the new series since I hardly watch TV any more.
Originally posted by Firebird Met it is from Doctor who, from the episode Robot 'Just once, I wish we would encounter an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets."-Brigader Alistair Lethbridge-stewart in "Dr. Who"Thanks Firebird, I had an inkling that it was from Doctor Who, but wasn't 100%. It does certainly sound typically like something that the Brig would say. But I thought it was also was from something else as well.
I did a thorough search and it is only showing a a quote from Dr Who.
The episode in particular "Robot" I beleive had Tom Baker as the doctor.
James, I did not know about the Dr Who link with Gatch, good to know 
And now for some boring Doctor Who stuff for Firebird. Robot was the first episode of season 12 and the first for Tom Baker in 1974.
And here's a bit of dialogue from the episode which is quite funny.
The Doctor : "Never cared much for the word "impregnable". Sounds a bit too much like "unsinkable"."
Harry Sullivan : "What's wrong with "unsinkable"?"
The Doctor : "Nothing. As the iceberg said to the Titanic."
Harry Sullivan : "What?"
The Doctor : "Gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop.
Sad thing is Met I actually remember the episode lol
Could be worse, you can remember everything about the episode including the smallest insignificient thing.

Heres a couple for you to ponder.
Which came first, the egg or the chicken?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
If nothing was there before the Big Bang, how did the Big Bang start?
Why does hospital food tastes awful?
The bible says the chicken.
The chicken saw a egg.
God snapped his fingers andpoof.
Because the staff doe's not eat it.
Can a vampire get aids?
If an ambulance is on the way to save one person and they hit another. Do they stop to help the person they hit or go on and radio it in for someone else?
Are lesbians vegiterians?
if you took a picture of cheese what would it say?
You have heard of the bird eating the worm but can a worm eat a bird?
Ha! Figure these one's out lol.

Figure these one's out lol.THis one I know the call it in as a running call and another ambulance comes to help the person they hit. They then despatch a different crew to the original patient as this ambulance crew have to wait for police to report the accident.

Why do scientists call it research when they are looking for something new?
Maybe because that's what research is all about, discovering new ways, new planets and new civilazations....oops, sorry got a bit carried away there.
If it was applied research, then that's whey scientists do, discovery new ways to develop new technology or to discover knowledge about stuff and to created zombies or biology, chemical and cyborgs to destroy hummanity in films and TV shows.
Or perhaps research sounds better and requires less explanation than neosearch.

6am, full off coffee already and ready to go...
Here are a couple more things to ponder:
What is the speed of dark?
Why are there Braille signs on drive-up ATM's?
If white wine goes with fish, do white grapes go with sushi?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why are builders afraid to have a 13th floor and planes
don't have a row 13, but book publishers aren't afraid to have a Chapter 11?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Taxes?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?
When your pet bird sees you reading the newspaper, does he wonder why you're just sitting there, staring at carpeting?
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot..
Why in a country of free speech, are there phone bills?
How come Superman could stop bullets with his chest, but always ducked when someone threw a gun at him?
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
heh heh ... I've been having a laugh finding these ...

Have you noticed that you listed 13 things to ponder? Coincidence?
