| How Come? --game--
Simple rules. Ask a question, phrased as "How come _________?"
(Try to be original. And questions for which the answer is easily Googled are discouraged. Questions asking "Why" rather than "How come" are disqualified.)
The next player must post an answer that is either (1) correct, or (2) amusing. That player may then post their own question.
I'll start:
How come electric eels don't electrocute themselves?

I'll start:
How come electric eels don't electrocute themselves? | Because they are bad conductors, I mean they don't even have little hands to hold the baton with.
Why is it quieter when it snows?

How come Samuel L Jackson is making a movie called Snakes on a Plane?

| Because people tend to carry things (bags, phones, etc.) in their right hands, so they use their left hands to hold on to rails, open doors, etc. So they tend to walk to the left.
How come right-handed people tend to carry things around in their right hands, when they need those hands to write, shake hands, salute, open doors, do things, etc.?

| Because a lot of common courtesies have been forgotten about. I blame technology…
Why do dogs love to roll in disgusting smelly things?

Why when everything seems like happily ever after does something bad happen?

....because carting around your mother and that umbilical cord just in case you need to stay underwater is just to maladaptive.
How come no matter how close you are to finishing there's always one last little thing to tidy up?
