Pondering thoughts ever think of something kind of strange and just think about it for awhile.
good discusion when
Dont just copy some off the internet, I want to hear ones you've heard/thought of
Heres a few of mine...
My friend asked me this one, does a gooseneck trailer get pushed or pulled?
I say pull, my friend argues that its really being pushed by its front piece, something about because the attachment is in front of the axle the truck is pushing it.

heres mine, ever watch COPS when they do a prostitution sting, they have a female cop talk to guys and offer to do stuff for money, then when they go to the room they arrest them,
At the instant before the cops arrest the guy, couldnt the guy "citizen's arrest" the woman cop for prostitution, technically they both have commited the same crime by talking about it
???

This one may be a law and may be wrong but...
In school zones, you're susposed to achieve the zone speed by the time you get to the sign (cops usually stop speeders right after the sign). so does that mean that you can achieve the "end school zone" speed by the time you reach the sign, meaning you speed up towards the end
???
its probably a law that you have to remain the speed between the two signs, but I would argue this if I got a ticket!

(This was 5 miles from my house, my brother has the pics...i'll see if i can get them)
2 different speed limit signs....side by side...each resting on it's own individual pole... one says 55, the other says 60...(neither one of them denote passenger car or trucks nor are they Night speedlimit signs) they are less than 1 1/2 ft from each other... can i add them?

I remembered another one...
Me and a friend were wondering what was the "most" that a person has got a transplant of something, we were first talking about the liver, then thought about a heart, lungs maybe... then we thought of a brain transplant...
Then I thought about it and if you got a brain transplant, you would really be getting "killed" and someone else would be getting a "body transplant!" Since it's their brain being put into your body, they would really be getting a body transplant. so I guess there is no such thing as a brain tansplant, only a body transplant!
weird to think about that huh!
