Stupid question - smart answer

A kinda old game that we already played here long ago :)

I’d like to revive it now.

One asks something stupid, next answers and posts his/her own question.

Example: Why the Earth is round?

            – Because she is a sister of other planets in Solar system :)

Let’s start.

P.S. Don’t be afraid to ask something stupid, it’s just for fun :)

Some denote it to genetics, and some others to upbringing … I think upbringing is the most suitable answer … For instance; I know exactly those things which I have interacted during my whole life; the extended time-line of events and choices which I made during my life sculpt my behavior, and hence ‘who am I’, more than what my DNA tells about me ;)

.............................

what demands an answer but has no question?

I think it’s a telephone call.

What was the highest mountain before Everest was found?

... And you have answered the call :-)

Fact remains the same; before or after.

Why we scratch our head when we think? 

Because we want to rock our brains :)

What do birds sing about? (Now I hear their singing outside the window ;))

Lena, I think that the birds outside your window are singing a praise to your men. It’s Defender of the Fatherland Day today, do you remember?

What are mittens for feet? :-)

I remember, Katya, but I think they are singing something about Spring and I would like to know what’s the lyrics exactly there…

Mittens for feet? haha, I’ve never heard about them… may be for the same as for hands.

Why there  so much mud comes after the melting snow? :(

Sun melts snow, and snow melts sand particles, and both in joy roll down on one another :)

.......................

I have a long neck. I am named after a bird. I feed on a cargo of ships. I’m not alive. What am I?

Lena, mittens for feet are socks.

Crane. True, Saladeen?

There’s a house. All its windows face the South. All over sudden, a bear appears. What color is the bear?

Ohh, that was night time, when that bear appeared; even white turns black in night … so, white can be black, than south can be north too … and north is the pole where white snow turn everything into white … I am watching now a white bear as clear as daylight even in dark black night. 

..............................

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills and empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after. It ends life and kills laughter. What is it?

Katya, I thought about such mittens :)
