Area 51

[redruthyella]

Now the season is virtually over, I wondered about starting a thread about the inexplicable things in life. There is certainly a comprehensive mix on our board and I'm sure some of the ponderous things in life could be answered on here.
One that I have puzzled over is:
Why is there no "Tear Here" strip on value biscuits?

 

[Dazz19]

Maybe because a 'tear here' strip will invalidate their claim to be value?

Why do ITV commentators feel the need to come up with new pronunciations for peoples names? E.g. Drogba becoming Drog-baaaar

 

[johnnywarksmoustache]

It would cost much more for the "Tear off" strip and then they wouldn't be classed as value biscuits!

Why do certain foorballers fall over like a shot antelope when someone farts in their direction in Row ZZ ?

Why do ITV commentators have to speak at all?

Most of the time all they do is state the bleeding obvious!

There is a notice where I walk by the beach that says "Do not throw stones at this notice"

Why did Demba Ba receive a Europa League Winners Medal, when he never played for them due being cup-tied through Newcastle...

Secondly, I support Chelsea, but does Terry have no shame? He basically elbowed Lampard out of the way when he tried to lift the trophy!

I've seen similar signs before, along with "This sign has sharp edges".

 

[Cruyff's Turn]

Goldeneye-Think I can answer the second one....no.

One good one I heard on Health and Safety.Someone worked in an office complex and the washroom had three taps.The nearest one to the hot water supply was very hot so had a notice on it saying "warning hot water".Regulations came in demanding all the hot taps have such a notice.As soon as they were put on the other two,people started to get scalded by the first one.

What are wasps good for? I mean, why the hell do they exist? All they do is sting and make more wasps

 

[toastehmonstah]

my tesco value custard creams had a 'tear here' strip :S

For that matter, why does ANYTHING exist?

Why is the 'sell by' date on a packet of crisps always a Saturday ?

 

[KIO]

Why is it when you have a shave, water always drips off the end of your elbow ?

 

[Kent canary]

Why do you get messages in your inbox saying "Your inbox is getting full"?

Why does anybody take out an extended warrenty?

 

[Kent canary]

Why do jars of peanuts have a warning that they contain nuts?

 

[Kent canary]

Why do people pretending to do a Norfolk accent always do a west country one?

Cuz they hint gotta clew

 

[KIO]

Why are so many vegetarian food products 'meat flavoured'?
