Why?

**Onahappynote** · 12-20-2008 04:24 AM

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?

I think, we just are curious. We want to prove that we are right. Or toprove that you are wrong.

For example:
Click me. Not Rickroll.

Didja click it? You were curious to see what it was.

But that was very creative of you.
Thanks

No problem.

I just licked my elbow, so you're wrong.

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.

FAIL.

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.

ive met three people that could lick their elbows before.
pretty rare, but nothing for the newspapers.

**Schmaven** · 12-29-2008 01:44 AM

All it takes are short upper arms, and a super-long tongue

Why do we do what we do?

Why did you make this pointless thread?

Type it in to google.

Also, I pretty sure there are more improtant stuff, hence why its not in the news. Do you even watch the news?

**Onahappynote** · 12-29-2008 05:41 PM

Anyone can lick their elbow if you know the right position

auto-fellatios, on the other hand...

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.
