Why?
Why do we do what we do?
Why do some of us have the impulse to prove something wrong or try to do something that is pointed out to be impossible?
For example, what if I told you that:
It is said to be impossible to lick your elbow.
...I'll let that sink in.
Over 75% of people who read this will probably try to lick thier elbow.
Is this due to the fact that the notion of licking our elbow has never crossed our minds and becomes a intrigueing thought that causes us to experament?
Or are come people just plain stupid?
Or is it something more deep and psychological?
Any thoughts?It's been forever!

People ask why because nobody would care. People question everything because there would be nothing else to question, if everything were to already be questioned. And if there is nothing to question then everything would be soft and corny. Even if it failed to realize itself all over again. And again, and again, and again... That's why people question because there is nothing to do but question God instead of questioning God himself. If everyone questioned God he would be soft. If everyone didn't question God he would be hard. But because he is so soft, everyone man's up about him because he is the softest person to man up about, the softest man of nothing at all,which is a purely satanic hell.
Your questioning why becuase you do not know anything.

If you can lick your elbow then you must me the most flexible person in the world or you have a removable arm. lol Licking your elbow (the tip) is physically impossible. And if you could, Im sure it would be in the news or something because of its significance. Sorry Im in an argumentative mood today.
Thanks for the posts.
It's been forever!

Why did you make this pointless thread?Why do we do what we do?
Type it in to google.. lol Licking your elbow (the tip) is physically impossible. And if you could, Im sure it would be in the news or something because of its significance. Sorry Im in an argumentative mood today
Also, I pretty sure there are more improtant stuff, hence why its not in the news. Do you even watch the news?Xaqaria

There is a way to lick your elbow, but you have to use your penis.

DAMN! Rickroll!
Questioning why things are the way they are is an endless question. You'll reflect the reflection of a mirror with another mirror, and never end up with new information. Only something else to fixate your consciousness on.

This is getting pointless. Though that was the original intent behind the OP, as well as the universe itself.
