Questions to ponder ^__^

A student of mine asked me about the Visayan word for toothpaste and I pondered on the answer. He said he'd treat me with burger and fries if I'd answer his question. The bet is still on...haha.

And so I thought of finding the answer from the web but instead found a hundred questions which will leave you dumb-founded. Here's a little something from the net...hope you like it..it made me laugh actually...i dug this treasure on www.edcollins.com.

1. Why is the word "abbreviation" so long?
2. Is there another word for synonym?
3. If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?
4. Why are there five syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?
5. Do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?

And the list goes on and on....stay tuned for more of these questions. :)
