    1) Why do you need boiling water on loose tea leaves? (If you remember loose tea would float if the water was not boiling)
    2) If you add a pint of water to a pint of beer, or any other alcoholic drink, does it still have the same overall effect on you despite drinking twice the quantity? Does it actually reduce the alcoholic content?
    3) Why does seeing someone else yawn make you yourself yawn?

    Please feel free to add your own pointless questions.

    1.Why did Tony Blair think it was a good idea to invade Iraq?
    2. Why has the rest of humanity tolerated the rise of a fascist dictatorship in China?
    But ...the one that really grips me...why is it helping my data protection for companies to ring me from numbers I don't recognise and then say"for data protection, can you give me your date of birth, mother's maiden name" etc

    Unsmoked Bacon. Has it been smoked and the goes through a process to unsmoke it?
    If it’s not been smoked then why don’t we call it plain bacon?

    Unpeppered steak for tea tonight.

    Why do we say "flammable" and "inflammable", when they both mean the same thing? "Inflammable" sounds as though it might be hard to light it.

    Re your point 1
    who first thought of putting boiling water on dried up leaves and drinking it and why?
    same goes for who first thought of rolling up dried leaves - setting fire to them and inhaling the smoke

    Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours screeching and wailing having messed themselves?

    1. Why does someone from the other side of my estate let their dog do his business on my driveway and lawn?

    2. Why does a separate person leave at least 2 bags of doggy poop in my garden every week?

    The vast majority of ‘spread’ isn’t margarine, as the fat content is lower.

    Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

    I've never understood why people put money in the ones at the seaside. To look out at vast blue sea and horizon.
