I know I should be writing posts about RF / Microwave, Wireless communications topics, but I thought these WHY questions would be more interesting to investigate !

• Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

• Why doesn’t glue stick to the bottle?
• Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
• Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?
• Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

• Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
• Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

• When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, “It’s all right?” Well, it isn’t all right, so why don’t we say, “That hurt, you stupid idiot?”
• Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

I have met Hans Rosling from Gapminder.org back in 2003. But it was ultimate that Hans wanted to sell Trendalyzer Gapminder to Google and here goes how he made fun of the Top Swedish students and professors.

That’s how the word pliable comes to its vast meaning. Watch Hans Rosling From Gapminder.
