mary, let me tackle this one:

Q:Why are dragonflies called dragonflies?

Ans: Dragonfly, is a common name for any member of an order of predaceous aquatic insects with an elongate body, agile flight, and two pairs of membranous wings.

So in a sense, they do resemble a dragon !!

Why do pajamas have pockets?
Ans: to keep business cards, in case you meet someone in dreams and you want them to contact you again!!! pretty clever ehh...

Why is it called a hamburger when it is beef?
It is made for hams to eat..but instead sum two legged picked up that food.

Why are they called apartments when they're all together?
bcos they were meant to be apart.. but every thing doesnt do what it is meant to do in this word.

Why isn't the word "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds?
to give fanatics a well distintive place in society.


Before they invented golf balls, how did they measure hail?
easy answer but Naseeb censor policy will not allow me tow rite it here....

Why not??? I mean, who wears pajamas only to bed?? Not to mention, you need somewhere to warm your hands on cold, chilly nights :)


Peace
