Persistent, Niggling Questions
The other day I found myself (as is my wont) debating the number of truly pointless questions I keep asking myself from day to day. Questions where having the answers would serve no possible useful purpose, I just "want to know." This thread is just to serve the standard of catharsis. We can all post these issues that bother us, then proceed not to answer them. Maybe it'll even bring us closer together as we found out that we're not the only person to ever wonder about these things.
How come the countries of the world didn't agree on the right side versus left side of the road controversy years ago and just stick with one standard? How can MMORPG's pretend to have reasonable economies when there's no standard for global resources, nor is there a poor person created for every rich person? How come so many new shows get the short end of the stick when it comes to consistent programming, releasing new episodes at predictable intervals, getting a guarantee of thirteen episodes to give a fanbase a chance to build up, etc.? What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about? (I really am sorry, but as a humor writer of sorts, I'm obligated to use this gag. I don't want to be kicked out of the Humorist and Parodist's Guild, do I?) Additions?

I know I have some, but my mind continues to be blank on the matter . . .

Feel free to add your own questions.
As originally stated, I DON'T want this to devolve into a flamewar of "no, I'M right, and I'll tell you EXACTLY why!" Just get these things out, you feel better, move on.

Why are people always asking how much wood a woodchuck could chuck? IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE PEOPLE!
How much have I really spent on eBay? (You know, the pet rock thing's not far off, I buy crystals) Why do they call them 'lead pencils'? How long will Nate's siggy get before Zeke puts a stop to it? Why are trees GREEN (primarily)? Why do I hate tomatoes but love tomato sauce? Will Firefly ever truly be revived? Why did the forum kick me out so I had to log in again before posting...?

Aw, but I like trying to answer these questions.
