Some guy, in the course of trying to make some moves, just asked me why I ask Why so much. "Why ask? I thought you were attractive so I talked to you! Somebody crashed into the world trade towers and a bunch of people died! Why? Who knows! They're dead! Why ask why?"
"Dude, I can tell you right now that you and I aren't going to get along so well.
.......I can't believe you don't think it's valueable to ask Why the trade towers were blown up."
There are certain threads of commonality that I see among my close friends.
1: Inquisitiveness
and
2: Enthusiasm
Basically, wonder and excitement in response to the world around them. I feel particularly lucky to be so completely surrounded by people who want to know why and are excited about the answer. People who are willing to do anything on the slim chance that it might turn out awesome or informative.
What do you do with all that brain if you don't ask why?
Posted by Sonya at May 10, 2005 01:10 PMWasn't "why ask why?" a slogan from a series of beer commercials a few years back? Maybe that answers your question of where all those unused brain cells in his head are getting to:
TV and beer.
that one was for BudDry. . .
. . .which only goes to show _my_ unused braincells go to ad-slogans and ad-jingles ad nauseum.
What do you do with all that brain if you don't ask why?
Evidence would suggest that most people use it trying to think up excuses for why they're so lame.

Posted by: UnderwearNinja at May 11, 2005 10:10 AMI think far too many people simply use all that extra brain as a convenient way to keep their skulls from collapsing into the vacant space that would otherwise be there.
Posted by: KING COMTE I at May 11, 2005 10:54 AMit's more important than ever before to chalenge the facts and our key weapon is, "WHY?".
so keep pushing, probing and turn your amp to 11 and do air-guitar scissor-kicks before accepting that what is, is.
hmmm, feeling ranty today. *growl*

Posted by: ian at May 12, 2005 10:07 AMi can't BELIEVE someone would make that statement about 9/11 to a woman they're trying to put the moves on.
wow.
I remember that commercial. My first response was to wonder "why call a beer dry? that doesn't sound refreshing!"
I love asking why. On the other hand, it's a question I can never answer.
