How come no matter the color of the denim Bruce Banner had on, the Hulk was rockin' purple cut offs..? Not only the color, but...Why were they torn at the knees..?

...you'd see him in brown cords and shit.

I'll go out on a limb and actually try to answer these.
Why do thaw and unthaw mean the same things?
It's THAW. Unthaw is just stupid, what a dufus says.
Why are they called stairs on the inside but steps outside?
I don't know, but personally I use those terms interchangebly (sp?).
If barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
She's gettin' the money, that's why.
Why is a baker's dozen 13, rather than 11?
They always have some extra dough.
Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?
You DRIVE along a driveway, then PARK it, then DRIVE it along the driveway.
I've never ever heard of a parkway.
Why does caretaker and caregiver mean the same thing?
They dob't exactly mean the same thing. I caretaker looks after property (eg. house, homestead, spooky mansion, allotment, farm, shed, beach shack etc.). A caregiver looks after a person.
Can blind people be dyslexic (when they read braille)?
Maybe. Dyslexia is your brain having trouble interpreting the word placement that your eyes see, mixing them up. Braille is read at a slower rate, one word at a time, rather than looking at a whole line at once and then reading the words. So it could happen, but I doubt it.
Can a Narcoleptic suffer from insomnia?
Not sure.
Why do they call it "taking a dump"
It's a stupid saying, yes it should be "leaving a dump".
But I suppose they "take" it from their arse to wherever.
Why does a gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed?
I think that's strange too, since they'll be stairing at their cervix with a speculum. I guess maybe because that is ALL they will see, and not the whole woman naked- she's probably more uncomfortable having her whole body being seen naked, then just her bits.
Why does fridge have a light and a freezer doesn't?
Most midnight snackers don't eat frozen food.
Did they have antiques in the olden days?
Yes. Back 1000s of years ago they'd probably have rocks for antiques, which were millions to billions of years old already.
Why all together is written separated and separated is written all together?
I always say "alltogether". "Separated" is one word, not two smaller words put alltogether.
Why do you have to click the "Start" button to turn off your computer?
On PeeCees, everything is at the Start button. You can't just finish, you need to 'start' to switch everything off.
If masochists like to torture themselves, wouldn't they do it best by not torturing themselves? and if so, aren't we all masochist?
No, then the sadists would be getting the fun. I'm not a masochist, I cannot bear pain- I can't even get a tattoo.
Is a hot car cool or is a cool car hot?
Both "cool" and "hot" are describe the same expression. It's "great".
Why is a person that handles your money called a BROKER?
I have no idea. I don't like letting others handle my money.
Why do Doctors "practice" medicine and Lawyers "practice" Law?
It has a dual meaning. In this case it is a term meaning to perform a profession for a living.
If you plan to fail, and do, have you succeeded or failed?
You have succeeded.
