General puzzlement thread

Quadrophenia land
These are things that puzzle me:

Why do people say 'Cheap at half the price' when they mean the opposite?

Why do children's storybooks show the Well on the top of a hill, the furthest point away from the water table?
 
When photos fade, why doesn't the blue fade as much as red?

Why are women obsessed with chocolate and cake?
 
What do women fancy about men? Most men - crappy facial hair/stubble, poor personal hygiene, an attention span of 2 minutes and only able to make conversation after large intake of alcohol.

I'm not complaining, only mystified.

I call this the paradox of protest. To complain about the police you have to go to the police, to protest at noisy neighbours you have to shout at them, to end exploitation you must make money out of other people to finance your case. So you have to use this thread to protest about it.

Yes I know, some days I'm very clever.
 
Why are all sausages made 120mm long?

Why do dinosaurs have completely unpronounceable names that can only be spoken by people less than 11 years old?

Why do plants have completely unpronounceable names that can only be spoken by people more than 68 years old?

Have you met the morons who are our neighbours ?

They are easily recognisable - they have relatives who frequently appear on all those tv programmes where the only requirement is to be, well, a moron.

If people who work on the information kiosks at St Pancras know so much, how come they're not chief executive of East Midlands Trains?
 
Why do footballers kiss an imaginary ring on their finger when they score a goal?

I've asked this before in a different thread and am still none the wiser...I like and watch a lot of football but have still not gleaned any info on the subject.

Yours, puzzled

Why are soap operas so popular? What's so interesting about watching a programme about ordinary people doing ordinary things? I'd understand if these were minority/specialist things, but they have the highest viewing figures.... weird.

Yeah, and they have the worst punch-ups and screaming matches - all the time really - but no one ever swears.
And no one ever watches TV.
And washing machines haven't been invented because they still use a launderette - which is a place where people went to do their laundry in the 1950s & 60s before people had washing machines at home.
And they only have 200 days or less in the year because the days when the programme is on join up with no gaps.
And everyone is permanently miserable.
And people dread weddings because someone will always get shot or arrested for murder and the cake will end up being thrown at someone.
