Deep questions

In answer to a request, today we ponder 2 of the trickiest questions ever asked:

Are Bert and Ernie more than just friends?
Why does bungle go to be in pyjamas, but walks around naked all day?

Where to start on these thorny issues? Bert and Ernie, 2 likely lads having some fun, the bed sharing a sign of the poverty they live in. Always dressed in the same clothes (always clean, the pride is there), rarely leaving the house, these two make the best of their situation. Government hand outs for muppets don't meet the needs of the individual, and employment opportunities are scarce, but they do the best they can.

Bungle, and his pyjamas, is an easier question. Bungle is a bear, they don't require clothes, they carry their own fur coat with them at all times. He chooses to wear pyjamas simply for the comfort factor. Cotton next to fur in between cotton sheets. Lovely.

Hope that helped clear these issues up. Any more difficult questions, drop me a note, or leave them in the comments.

When I decide to move my finger, how does this decision (which is a "thought") get translated into the physical "action" of moving the finger? If you believe the thought itself is actually a physical entity (which thus "gets the physiological ball rolling"), then explain how the process of creating this physical thought works. In other words, how can my mere (non-physical) "will" set in motion a physical process?

Thought and will also necessitate physiological activity otherwise they couldn't manifest.
Will be interested in hubby's answer.

But not as interested as I am in the answer to the question:
Why would the Dairy Milktray man endanger his life with all of those daring stunts, only to stint on the extra £20 it would have cost to buy a decent box of chocs instead?

Laura - it's because The Lady Loves Milk Tray. What they *don't* tell you is that the lady also plainly has sh*te taste as she fancies a guy whose name HAS to be "Rico Suavé" who has a penchant for black roll-necks in all weathers.

Laws said...

Maybe. Or maybe she's from Portsmouth and he has an astonishingly big willy.

Ew. Forgot about the roll necks. Maybe she likes them sweaty too...?
