Rules
1) You can ask any question as long as it's not dirty or gross on any level.
2) They can be random questions like "Why are apartments called apartments if they're close together?"
3) Replies to any questions must be helpful or in an amused answer. As long as you DON'T flame.
4) Just have fun, and don't tempt me to add more rules if I see fit.

Here's an old one, but still food for thought...
Why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?
and
Why does 7-Eleven have locks on the doors if they're open 24 hours a day?
I actually know the answer for the second one (mainly because I used to work night shift in one).

You know, I never really thought of that. Why DO they drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? Hmmmm~ Oh! I just got something! But it's pretty lame- maybe they don't want you to park in the way of some other car, and you can't drive in the way of some one if you're in park! ... wow, that so did NOT make sense to me anymore...
Um, I think the 7-Eleven thing is something for extra security or something, right? Why do they have locks on 7-Elevens any way?

Will the current global depression be worse than the Great Depression of the 1920s? And if so, how are we going to handle this?  |

The only parkways I'm familiar with are the one in Philly (I think it's the Ben Franklin Parkway, I could be wrong) and the New Jersey Parkway. The Jersey one I just shrug off as Jersey being a weird state.
As for 7-Eleven, the locks are there for a couple of reasons. the store does have to close on occasion. We've closed it for a couple hours when they had the floors waxed so that it would have time to dry. Also, if it gets robbed, the store closes until the police get there and investigate.
As for the depression, that's a tough one. It's not as bad as it was in the 1920's yet (I haven't seen any bread lines), but I don't know how we're going to get out of it. The Stimulus Plan has had mixed feelings with the people, but I haven't seen much of an improvement. If I remember my history correctly, we got out of the last one when World War II started, but the current war has done more harm than good.
Why do parents insist on taking young children to movies that are obviously too mature for their ages?

Because the movie's too mature for the parents, too.
Why does Donald Duck wear a towel around his waist when he gets out of the shower? Why bother?! He doesn't wear pants! It's nothing we haven't seen before....

In this time, it's nothing the kid hasn't seen before. Back then it wasn't really bloody or gorey and it wasn't as realistic as it was now. And it seems that they're making movies more mature 'cause the kids watching it most likely already knows about it.

I think people these days generally fail at parenting. I remember when I was a kid, I wasn't even allowed to watch The Simpsons until I was a teenager and even then I wasn't allowed to watch Beavis and Butthead. As it is now, I'm incredibly picky about what my daughter watches.
As for Donald Duck... the towel helps his tail feathers dry quicker.
Along the lines of cartoons, why does Bugs Bunny look better in drag than he does without the outfit?

Cause he's one sexy beast.
...Did something break Kevin's nose as a kid, or has it just always been like that? ...I bet he ran into a wall....

I'm sure he's been in his share of fights, especially as a kid. Maybe Ben broke it during one of their scuffles.
Then again, the wall theory has merit too.
What would Kevin do if he had to choose between his car and Gwen?

Gape at whomever was making him make that choice before trying to beat the crap out of them. Unless they were holding a gun to Gwen....in which case, he'd probably throw them the keys and tell them to take care of it.
Do Ben and Kevin ever hang out by themselves? I mean, with no Gwen. You know...man-date (not the romantic thing, I'm talking just two guys hanging out doing things like watching football and trying to catch snacks in their mouths)

The beginning of "Save the Last Dance". For some reason, Ben was brushing his teeth in Kevin's bathroom (or Kevin was working on the car in Ben's garage, but it looked like Kevin's place).
Come to think of it, why was Ben brushing his teeth in Kevin's bathroom anyway?

That's a good question. You don't think they do sleepovers, do they? Does Kevin really seem the type to sleep over at someone's house?

I could have sworn that it was Kevin's place. It looked like the garage he always works in. Kevin doesn't really look like the sleepover type (insert hilarious image of PJs and a teddy bear).
Does this add another point to the BeVin scale?

I have no idea who's place it was...I'm guessing it was Kevin's (looked like the same garage as DarkStar Rising, didn't it?). ...Does Ben carry his toothbrush around with him everywhere, or does he spend the night with Kevin all of the sudden?
Your teddy bear comment just made me think of one of the worst pickup lines I've ever heard..."I lost my teddy bear, can I sleep with you?"
Kevin: Tennyson, what are you wearing?
Ben:...pajamas...
Kevin:...are those ducks?
Ben:..my mom picked them out. Why, what are you wearing to bed?
Kevin: Boxer shorts. *strips down to them*
Ben:...why do they have hearts on them?
Forgive me, couldn't resist.
