1001 Silly Questions - Des MacHale - Bog

Bag om 1001 Silly Questions

Sometimes called `imponderables' or `rhetoricals', they do not necessarily have answers. These silly questions are always amusing and often interesting because they concern the little unnoticed contradictions in life. Why do we write things down but type them up? Why do ships carry a cargo, while cars carry a shipment? And how did the guy who made the first clock know what time to set it to? This is philosophy for the man and woman in the street, but stuff the real philosophers are not able to answer. Our response can vary from `Yes, I've often wondered about that', through `How the hell should I know?' to `Who cares? This is the biggest collection of sillies ever assembled, and by the time you have finished reading them, you will begin to spot new questions for yourself, so it is a game anyone can learn and play. Have fun reading them using them to confuse and amuse others --- teachers, students ,parents, spouses, bosses, employees, and anyone you want to take down a peg.
