Quirky Questions

Quirky or Thought Provoking Questions can be fun to contemplate and even more fun to answer.

I just love questions that are a bit sideways, that tend to make you ask more questions or at least simply wonder. So today I submit to you a list of quirky and perhaps thought provoking questions for your entertainment. I hope you will find it to be a whimsical submission.

The world is full of questions, some live their lives as one big question, some never strive to find the answers, and when you're a toddler your vocabulary centers around just one word "Why?"
