Why do shower curtains move inward when you turn on the water in the shower?
While I've never observed this, I shall theorize:
The water starts to make the air move. The moving air, by nature of its motion, has lower pressure. Thus, the curtain is pushed inward by the higher pressure outside of the curtain.

This happens in my shower at home, and I find it annoying. My theory is that the hot water coming from the show head heats up the air. The now hot air rises. Low, cool air has to come in to takes its place. Since the only place this air can really come from is through the curtain/from the other side of the curtain, the curtain moves inward from either the current or the lower pressure inside the shower.

I have found that leaving a little opening on either side of the curtain minimizes the amount that the curtain moves inward.

If you have sex with your clone, is that incest or masturbation?

Is it a male clone, or did they double up the X chromosome and make a female clone?

That wouldn't be a clone, now would it?
Only one way to find out.

Easy way to find out - turn on the shower using only cold water. :)

What do you think is the age of the youngest person in the world who could kick your ass? For example, do you think there is a 2 year old out there who could kick your ass? What about a 3 year old? 4? 5?

Assume 1 on 1 fair fight with no weapons, friends, sneak attacks, etc.

this why you wanna be big?

WTF would anyone worry about a kid that also posted workout advice.

The topic of the thread was "silly questions", not "questions I want everyone to take seriously" :D
