Anybody have an answer for these?

Why do they call him DONKEY Kong when he is a monkey?
Why do they have different colored M&M's if they do not taste any different?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about it?
Why do you pay an extra 25 cents to get something put on your hamburger, but they don't take off the price if you get something taken off?
If overalls are held up by the snaps at the top, then why do they have belt loops?
If you were a genie and a person asked you this wish, "I wish you would not grant me this wish" what would you do?
If something "goes without saying," why do people still say it?
Why does a company call something a free gift? When has a gift not been free?
Why is it when we talk to God we are praying, but when God talks to us we are put into the loony bin?
If a fork were made of gold would it still be considered silverware?

The first one is an age old bit of gaming trivia...

If I was the genie, I would say "What wish?"

Korri
i know what i would wish for wink

Cyclops
You are the Genie... I am the master (hypothetical situation)

ME: I wish you did not grant this wish.
YOU: What wish?
ME: My wish to not grant my wish.

I wish you didn't grant my wish to not grant my wish. (A brain teaser)

burlyman

For the same reason butterfly is called butterfly when it has shit to do with butter.



Why not? More interesting this way...



Well someone must have cared if they made a song about it



Cos everyone is a money grabbing bastard...



Fashion. Besides, i always wore mine loose...they looked funky, so i had to have belt around them



Id say ''your wish is my command'' and get back in the bottle.



For the same reason people say ''man/woman who needs no introduction' figure of speech

You are loony bin when you are talking to yourself too...i mean praying angel



Why would it be called silverware if it was made out of gold. no it would not.

Why do they call him DONKEY Kong when he is a monkey?
Monkey Kong sounds really really gay
Why do they have different colored M&M's if they do not taste any different?
They'd look shit if they were all identical
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about it?
To make people aware and care, duh
Why do you pay an extra 25 cents to get something put on your hamburger, but they don't take off the price if you get something taken off?
Cos then they wouldn make as much money, duh
If overalls are held up by the snaps at the top, then why do they have belt loops?
If you're putting something in the oven, and you close it, it will get caught in the oven if you aint got it tied back. Also works with heavy machinery etc...
If you were a genie and a person asked you this wish, "I wish you would not grant me this wish" what would you do?
Nice, clean, quick slap
If something "goes without saying," why do people still say it?
Stupidity
Why does a company call something a free gift? When has a gift not
been free?
Its a verb, makes their writing more descriptive and interesting
Why is it when we talk to God we are praying, but when God talks to us we are put into the loony bin?
confused that doesnt happen
If a fork were made of gold would it still be considered silverware?
meh

Ushgarak
I would reply 'which wish are you talking about?'

Until you can actually pin down the wish you are referring to in the same sentence you ask for it, I can avoid it. All you are saying is 'this wish' or 'my wish'- which is not in itself referring to anything with certainity.

And if you said "I wish you didn't grant my wish to not grant my wish" I would simply say you had not wished for that yet so that makes no sense.

You'll never do it! Vaguries of grammar are on my side. You have to use the word wish twice in one sentence, trying to mean the same wish, but I can always interpret it as talking about two different wishes, one of which you have not yet defined.

Ushgarak
BTW, the rumour has always been that Donkey Kong was a simple typo during the translation. Surprised no-one else had heard that!

lil bitchiness
Nah...first for me! Never even thought about it to be honest...

Cyclops
What do you call a male Ladybug?

crazy_c

Baylin

Cyclops

Another question:

Who did actually put the 'bob' in the 'bob-she-bob-she-bob?" Was that the same person who put the 'ram' in the 'ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?'
