1( How do birds die? I've never seen any dropping dead from the sky. Bearing in mind that there are millions the odds would be that I would have seen at least 1.

2( How do they build bridges like the Humber bridge? This was years ago, so how could they make the pillars of the bridge steady underwater in the Humber estuary?

3( What's the point of yawning?

you yawn to take in more oxygen it actually has little to do with tiredness. i find birds die quite often when you shoot them....

Yes, what reminded me was that they were talking about this on the James Whale show - and it occured to me what a stupid thing 'yawning is'. I like yawning, I do.

but why when you are in the vicinity of someone who yawns, you yawn too immediately afterwards.

That's a bloody good point - I mean, surely birds could have heart attacks or something whilst flying... I know they often die by being sucked into jet engines - bird strike!

Being an animal care student I can tell you that birds tend to die behind bushes and usually find somewhere quiet to die.

Do they know in advance that they're going to die then? I can see it now...

Flap, Flap, Flap, Ooh, I feel a bit peaky, I must be gonig to die, I'd better find a nice bush and have a lay down.

Surely they can die suddenly in flight (I'm not going to let this go)...

Flap, Flap, Flap, Ouch, (pause), THUD!

Don't seagulls fly out to sea to die? Maybe other birds do something similar... I dunno.

when something explodes, everyone knows it goes "bang". so when something implodes why doesn't it go "Gnab"?

1) If you stick on stickers on non-stick pans, would they stick on?
2) If they develop a supersonic train, will they give it a whistle?
3) Why do the numbers on the phone go one way, but the numbers on the calculator go the other way?
4) What would happen if u put a humidifier and a dehumdifier in the same room?
5) Are one handed people offended when police tell them to put their hands up?
