"Didn't Communism fail?"

What do I have in my pocket?

Air. and space. That's the default state of what is in your pocket, anything else is irrelevant because no matter what, unless you're in a vaccuum, my answer is correct. And space is present even inside a vaccuum. So your question is no longer impossible

While you make a good point, you have failed at reference catching. For this, I will not destroy you, but neither will I give you my recipe for immortality.

The first reference is to the hobbit, chapter 5(?), riddles in the dark. Bilbo poses that question to Gollum, and if memory serves me well, gollum said "knifeses, stoneses", then somthing else, then Bilbo said "nothing", forgive me if I'm wrong, I haven't read it in ages.

The second reference is to the Futurama episode when Lrrr first appears threatening to raise the earths temperate by 1million degrees for 5 days unless they show a thousand year old episode of Jenny McNeal, Single Female Lawyer. After your quote, Fry says "way to overact, Zoidberg"

You sir, have just won at life forever. I go now to send you all of my money in the mail.

Will it take off?

Yes. It was tested on Mythbusters, and also if you think about it logically it's obvious. The spinning of the plane's wheels doesn't have an effect on the speed of the plane, because the wheels move independently of the engine... I think

The right answer is gone, and the left went south. West has headed East, and the south is going up.
where did North go?

West?

One Question that will get you guys going is what happens when an Unstoppable Force colides with a Unmovable/Unbreakable Force. Disscus.

The Unstoppable Force will redirect when colliding. You said Unstoppable, but that doesn't mean it can't bounce.

theres one problem, at one point when the unstoppable force is bouncing its stops to redirect, aka not answering the question.

Law of conservation of momentum. 2 opposite forces acting along the same line towards eachother. if both are unstoppable then their momentums cancel out, this means one of 2 things

1)they swap momentums so they bounce off and move away from eachother at an equal speed to approach.
2)they become stationary.

This is true for any balanced forces, no matter how big.

Oh you would pull the momentum law out of your pocket. Acually thats the right answer congradulations, i was wondering if anyone would get it. The last impossible question thread no one though of this.

0.9 recurring (that is, nines going on forever after the decimal point) does not equal 1. This is impossible, because it's untrue. The to numbers are indeed equal. Yeah. So anyone who posted on that maths thread ages ago and disputed that, I'd like to see you prove your point to a Maths undergraduate. Hah. I bet you can't, can you?

.9(recurring) = 1 because the math book said so... HAH!

Yes. It was tested on Mythbusters, and also if you think about it logically it's obvious. The spinning of the plane's wheels doesn't have an effect on the speed of the plane, because the wheels move independently of the engine... I think

You're exactly right. Due to the wheels being independent from the plane's propulsion, the plane only needs to exert a minimum of thrust to negate the effects of the treadmill and thus start moving forward and eventually taking off.

Also:

This is impossible, because it's untrue.

This is quite possibly the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard. Saying something is impossible because you don't believe it to be true is an empty and subjective statement that doesn't contribute to debate in any way.

Judging from this post you are an asset to civilised thought and I salute you for it.

If a train leaves station A bound for station B at 56 m/s and there is a going going from B to at 45 m/s, how tall are the conductors?

Could God heat a burrito so much, that He Himself could not eat it?

"Didn't Communism fail?"

First statement is true, second is not.

The height of the individual conductors is irrelevant.

I've got one that isn't impossible!

'How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?'

No, the answer is NOT any of that poncy 'Blowing in the Wind' rubbish - you can see I have put the first man in bold.

If he is already a man at this point, before he has walked down any roads, that means that the answer is none, as you are already calling him a man before he has walked down any roads!

Me>Bob Geldof.

Okay, I'll bite. I'm gonna guess that he meant not to ask whether or not the man in question was a man, but when you call him such

If I send 15 fighter craft armed with laser pointers to planet A and 5023 bombers armed with bricks and bubblegum to planet B which planet will produce fluffy unicorns with bacon for eyes first?

 

[twostripe]

Who farted in 2536 B.C on 15th October at 15:24:57 in China?
Also, how many people fart at that time?

Hu Flung Pu farted along with 97 other people

 

[DuplicateValue]

Befor you ask the most obvious one, the meaning to life is 42(hitch hickers guide to the galaxy)come up with one.

It is NOT THE MEANING OF LIFE damnit.

It's the ultimate answer, the thing is, what is the ultimate question?

Why does reciprocal motion happen in the opposite direction to impending force?
Does that even make sense?

Um something about every action having an equal and opposite reaction, I think.

How about.......does everyone see the same colours as the colours you know?
I mean like.......is your red my green?

 

[Zombie_Fish]

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen Swallow?

What, African or European?

Me>Bob Geldof Dylan.

Don't even try to compare those two to eachother.

EDIT: That one sucks...

What's the answer to this question?

Also, is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
