The Ends of Dilemas

#1Andy Frey seeks enlightenment...
Q:Why does SkyFry continue to improve and wow its fans on an almost weekly basis?
A:SkyFry is an amazing an wonderous thing. Its only goal in life is to provide entertainment at the expense of time and brain cells.

#2Andy Frey seeks enlightenment...
Q:How often should people check out SkyFry for changes and nifty new features, like the SkyFry Answer Engine?
A:As often as is humanly possible. Every change is like a chance to see the Queen of England in the buff.

#3Dan Sutton is in a quandry...
Q:What makes Skyfry so smellarific?
A:Through an amazing breakthrough at the SkyFry Laboratories, the SkyFry Scientists were able to transform special "flavor crystals" into digital signals to be transmitted along with the SkyFry Web Pages right to your browser!.

#4Matt Arnold would like to know...
Q:Why do hot dogs come in packages of ten, but buns come in packages of eight? Do they really expect me to eat 40 hot dogs in one sitting?
A:Since the caveman, who had little or no mathematical skills, there has been miscommunication between hot dog manufacturers and hot dog bun packagers. History shows that the problem could have been corrected centuries ago, if it were not for a continuing family dispute between the Von Hautdaugens and the Bunderbars.

#5Flav wonders...
Q:How come you only see one shoe on the side of the road??? If that question does not work then how about this one: How do they determine the length of spaghetti?
A:#1) Roads are widely known to take months, sometimes years to put on shoes. Give your one-shoe road a little time. In fact, go out and watch it until it dons the other shoe. #2) A Spaghettiometer. Duh.

#6Andy is curious...
Q:Oh, great SkyFry Answer Engine (tm), why do people keep asking questions about food?
A:Records indicate that these questions were asked during the dinner hour.

#7Bill inquired...
Q:If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear, does it make a noise?
A:Studies are inconclusive. During the last attempt to find the truth, the individual performing the test was crushed by a large redwood. His partners in the expedition were in town at the local greasy spoon at the time of the experiment/accident.

#8Bill seeks enlightenment...
Q:Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
A:Both. The chicken was invented in 1834 in Suffolk, England, at the same time the egg was invented in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

#9Aaron is curious...
Q:Little sisters. Why?
A:A sister in a form larger than oneself can lead to severe injury when provoked. A sister of smaller stature can be kept at bay with the simple, yet effective, palm-to-forehead manuever.

#10Aaron inquired...
Q:Why ask why?
A:Try Bud Dry! SkyFry brought to you by the fine people at Budweiser. Not.

#11Amy asked...
Q:Why is it that some weeks your mind is a day ahead and others a day behind and still others it is right on? Think of what it would do to the world time clock if we all went by our body clock. What a mess!
A:Modern watches use a quartz crystal to keep accurate time, just like New Age people. Some clocks use the atom to keep time. There is a clock in the human body, however, the human is made mostly of water. Since your internal clock is not water-proof, it is quite flaky.

#12Beth can't figure out...
Q:Why are my brothers, Andy and Aaron, such buttheads?
A:Fate.

#13Beth would like to know...
Q:How did a nice sister like me end up with a brother like you?
A:Syntax error: The words, "nice" and "sister" may not be used is a sentence together. ;)

#14Aaron inquired...
Q:What is the smallest particle into which atoms may be reduced? On a related note, who comes up with the names for these things?
A:#1) There are several. "To" is one of the more popular. [Error reading word, "particle". System thought you said, "participle." System's apologies.] #2) Bowls of Jell-O with plenty of spare time.

#15Anonymous (or chicken) wonders...
Q:Who is Bill?
A:Better question: Who are YOU?!

#16Anonymous (or chicken) would like to know...
Q:What kind of cow makes chocolate milk?
A:There is a special breed of cow that has access to supermarkets and the chocolate syrup isles contained therein.

#17Anonymous (or chicken) wonders...
Q:Where do babies come from?
A:Male babies come from Mars and female babies come from Venus.

#18Anonymous (or chicken) is curious...
Q:Where did SkyFry come from?
A:Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

#19Jeff & Dan inquired...
Q:What's a cutrain? (as per the last Anonymous question)
A:Something very similar to a spelling error, if you will.

#20Teri asked...
Q:How does the amazing Skyfry Answer Machine know so much?
A:It uses patented polymers and a secret formula that's been in the family for six generations. Oh, it has wings, too.

#21Jon wonders...
Q:What do you do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?
A:Is the animal capable of being a main dish? Can the plant be considered garnish?

#22Jeff wonders...
Q:Where should my friends and I go to party at next friday?
A:The question shouldn't be "where," but "how many places."

#23Dan Sutton wonders...
Q:Why are the Skyfry Answers becoming shorter and shorter with every new question?
A:Answers generated by the SkyFry Answer Engine are composed using complex algorithms and English language-based artificial intelligence routines that enrich answers in a way that make them seem as though they were thought up by a human being. In cases where answers are short and concise, the Answer Engine and its myriad of automatic quandry thirst quenching functions opt for "no frills," "down and dirty," "get to the point" results.

#24Tom Sutton inquired...
Q:What is the true meaning of the word, Supercalifragilisticexbealadotious?
A:As you can see, the actual root of the word is "califragile." Califragile is a hybrid of glass and cauliflower, created by ancient Greek glassblowers in an attempt to broaden the market for fine, yet edible, glassware. As the word in question is an adjective, and after cancelling out all the negative and positive suffixes and prefixes, the word simply means, "really yummy glass-cauliflower."

#25Steve Janik is curious...
Q:Does the Easter Bunny spend Christmas with Santa, or is he jewish?
A:The Easter Bunny spends Christmas at the West Pole painting Easter eggs.

#26Gene is curious...
Q:What is more knowledgable? The SkyFry AnswerEngine or the Magic 8-Ball?
A:The Magic 8-Ball is a toy. The SkyFry Answer Engine is an engineering marvel using high-power computing, artificial intelligence, efficient algorithms, English language interpretative programming and cheese.

#27Gene asked...
Q:Is TCP/IP space Everything? (Be specific. 3-5 pages. Minimum 5 sources)
A:[Error: Cannot understand the question] :)

#28Jeff would like to know...
Q:Why are mobile home parks always located near airports?
A:Mobile homes have an inherent need for excessively strong winds (i.e., tornados). Since airplanes and jets generate wind for propulsion, mobile homes are naturally attracted to areas where such things exist.

#29Andy can't figure out...
Q:We've incurred a slight deviation of an otherwise systematic functional rotation, WHAT HAPPENED? "HUH GUYS?"
A:Had protocol been followed, rotational consistancy would have been maintained through nonsystemic means by an otherwise undisturbed gyroscopic center of gravity. Try duct tape.

#30Jeff would like to know...
Q:Did you ever notice that shipments come by land and cargo comes by sea? Isn't this backwords?
A:By that reasoning, shipments should be called, "landments" and cargo should be called, "seago," if the SkyFry Answer Engine is getting your drift.

#31Joshua asked...
Q:How do they fit all those little people inside my TV set?
A:Laserbeam shrink rays in television studios have long been the primary means of getting those tiny people into our television sets. Up until the 1950s, massive diets or food dehydrators were used.

#32Mike is in a quandry...
Q:If Jesus was Jewish, why did he have a Puerto Rican name??
A:His parents loved spicy foods.

#33Kory L. Henkel-Frey can't figure out...
Q:If practice makes perfect, and no one is perfect, then why practice???
A:Why does a dog chase its tail? The challenge is to become that which we are not (or in the dog's case, to catch what he cannot). Think of the state of perfection as being the tail we will all chase for our entire lives. (Yuck, that was too philosophical and serious. Next!)

#34Tom wonders...
Q:Why X-mas, not C'mas?
A:The term, "X-mas," is actually a formula derived from ingenious little children in an attempt to subliminally coerce their parents into giving more gifts. The "mas" in X-mas is Spanish for "more." "X" is a popular choice in algebra and Pop vernacular for representing any quantity. Thus, "X-mas" means, "X more" or "X more presents, please!" "C'mas" would be simply a lazy way to represent the word, "Christmas."

#35Beth wonders...
Q:How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A:Let me pose this question to you (in hopes that the answer will magically appear in the text): How much fish could a catfish catch if a catfish could catch fish?.

#36Aaron asked...
Q:Why is it, do you think, that so few people know the joy of eating Velveeta as a meal? And do you personally recommend utensils at such a meal or just peeling away the wrapping and eating the whole chunk like a banana?
A:Velveeta is a sadly underrated food product. At mealtime, the phenomenon known in culinary circles as "the Velveetagasm" is best experienced when simply eating slices of Velveeta with nothing more than a glass of milk or water.

#37Andy needs a bit of advice...
Q:All engines whether they are mechanical, electrical, chemical, or biological, generally produce something of significance. Why is it that all we get from the answer engine is SMOKE?
A:You get what you pay for.

#38Amy wonders...
Q:What is the true name of that carbonated beverage so many people drink? Is it pop, soda, coke, soda pop, or soft drink? Why can't we all just agree?
A:The scientific name for said drink is, "carbonated beverage," but you doesn't have to call it, "Johnson."

#39Jeff asked...
Q:My computer reports that my disk drive is at 50%. Does that mean 50% full or 50% empty?
A:That depends: How big is the drive?.

#40Michelle can't figure out...
Q:What is the statistical probability that a gene pool of 5 billion people could produce 2 women stupid enough to marry Frey men?
A:1 in 2.5 billion. Do the math.

#41Aaron asked...
Q:Does the Skyfry Answer engine have any sort of plan for dealing with all these malicious wrong number dialers?
A:Who are you and where did you get this URL?! No, Sandy does not live here. Go away!

#42Jeff asked...
Q:What in the world are we going to do with all these Macs?
A:We must grind them up and make Macs-n-Cheese. Cheese always adds flavor to things that are otherwise bland and useless.

#43Anonymous (or chicken) wonders...
Q:Where can I go to skydive in Michigan. I've never been skydiving before.
A:I don't know about some of the other states in the Union, but in Michigan, we go into the sky to skydive.

#44Wendy seeks enlightenment...
Q:What is the meaning of life?
A:Here is one of many. If you would like more, just ask, but you know you can find this in any dictionary: life n, pl. lives: 1 the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body.

#45Aaron can't figure out...
Q:Would you consider this an accurate analogy: "Life is a parachute; timing is everything"?
A:Sure. On the subject of parachutes: "The mind is like a parachute; it must be open to work effectively."

#46Beth would like to know...
Q:What do you get when you cross a high performance parachute with Andy?
A:Usually, fun canopy flight and happy landings. Once, a record 34-foot bounce and 4-inch crator.

#47Mom wonders...
Q:When was the war of 1812?
A:Well, everyone knows it took place two years ago, just before the Canadian New Year. Geeze.

#48Jeff is curious...
Q:Is the Earth round or flat?
A:In his very well-known, "Theory of Earth's Shapliness," master chef, Ugene Schlumsky states: "The amount of curvature in the Earth's surface is directly proportional to the distance you are from its surface. That's the way it works, whether you like it or not. So there."

#49Stan would like to know...
Q:What's the best method for absorbing a fall from a great height?
A:Stuff your clothing with 32,768 rolls of Northern "quilted" bathroom tissue.

Q:??siht daer uoy naC
A:"Backwards words say to used I. Again go I there. S**t oh!" -George Carlin.

#52Anonymous seeks enlightenment...
Q:When will the Skyfry page get some color to it?? (The author realizes that the drab grey and white backgrounds were popular during the middle ages, but since we are now in the 1900's he would like to see some color)
A:This is a common mistake to new SkyFry viewers. It is in color, of course. It just happens to be in only two colors. Don't worry, you're not the first person to make this mistake. We're forming a support group for people like you.

#53Sandy inquired...
Q:Define the Universe. Give three examples.
A:"The universe is the largest conceivable space for lease. " "The largest conceivable space for lease is the universe." "One cannot conceive a larger space for lease than the universe."

#54Randy wonders...
Q:If 7-11 stores are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why do they have locks on the doors??
A:As 7-11 stores are "convenience" stores, the locks are there as a "convenience" to felons who wish to baracade themselves and helpless victims inside the store.

#55Mike inquired...
Q:What is the best way to prepare and serve "Beany Babies"?
A:You've made a common mistake, which has been made countless times before. Their names are actually, "Beano Babies." As such, you wouldn't "prepare and serve" them so much as just take them before a meal.

#56Dan seeks enlightenment...
Q:If I fart in the woods and no one is there to smell it, does it stink?
A:Based on some of the things YOU eat, my answer would have to be a resounding, "YES."

#57Aaron would like to know...
Q:Now, I'm as environmentally conscious as the next guy, but I have to ask: Why are we so worried about the rainforests in South America when Dan "Windy" Sutton is going around poisoning the air of our beloved US woodlands?
A:In addition to their study of cattle flatulence, Michigan State University is conducting a study on Dan "Windy" Sutton's impact on the ozone layer.

#58mike can't figure out...
Q:Those "Beano Babies", shouldn't you (out of courtesy for others) take those before entering the aircraft?
A:It is common knowledge that the ride to altitude is enhanced by the breakage of the wind INSIDE the aircraft.

#59barb (mlsem.org) would like to know...
Q:why doesn't my computer keyboard have an "any" key?

Q:What are some alternate phrases for "I'm sorry"?? Because, I'm sorry, but I have passed this much used phrase on to others whom I love and I'm sorry if it seems overused...
A:I'm sorry, what was the question again?

#63Judy can't figure out...
Q:I wonder, oh great answer machine, why do you think the dog will walk round and round before relaxing in "the spot" ???
A:When the technology becomes available, we will be able to see that the dog is actually creating a "wall of energy" which encircles the animal for protection while it sleeps. As yet, we are unable to determine what the wall deters, but we're certain it is something very bad.

#64Anonymous (or chicken) is in a quandry...
Q:What is the chemical makeup of bellybutton lint?
A:Bellybutton lint considers itself very attractive, so it does not wear makeup.

#65Jill Western can't figure out...
Q:Andy, To do all this, do you just not sleep!? As usual, you will like hearing, your amazing! Have a good one.
A:The SkyFry Answer Engine never sleeps.

Q:When the heron stands in the snow, are her feet always blue?
A:Only when the snow is not yellow.

#67Spiritual One is in a quandry...
Q:If GOD created the Heavens and Earth in six days, and rested of the 7th day. Why is Sunday the first day on a calendar?
A:Unlike God, humans rather rest before working, so our calendar starts with a day of rest.

#68gordo wonders...
Q:What do you get if you mix a skypuppy (28 jumps) and a small zp elliptical?
A:Answer being formulated... Please be patient.

#69Stan seeks enlightenment...
Q:Please Answer Engine, tell us once and for all the straight turth about the Roswell Incident!

#71Kelly is in a quandry...
Q:Considering you as an expert on the subject, please explain the gastronomical phenomenon which occurs at approximately 7000' AGL over St. Clair County, MI?
A:Upon entry into lower barometric pressures caused by higher altitudes, certain otherwise normally pressurized cavities begin to require extensive and sometimes explosive releases to prevent damage and, of course, discomfort.

#72Walter seeks enlightenment...
Q:Where am i??
A:Always remember: Wherever you go... There you are.

#73buc 'n ahna needs a bit of advice...
Q:Ahhh, great SkyFry Machine, *curtsies* it is common knowledge that the buttered side of a piece of bread always lands down. It is also common knowledge that a cat always lands on its feet. So, if one were to tie a piece of bread, buttered side up, to a cat's back and drop the cat from a substantial height, what would result?
A:If, by "substantial," you mean roughly 15,000' AGL (above ground level), a buttery-flavored pile of dead cat would clearly result.

#74ahna asked...
Q:So, how do you, great SkyFry Answer Man, eat a Reese's?

#90Ludwig needs a bit of advice...
Q:Why do the trains in word problems always originate in New York and Los Angeles?
A:Investigations have lead to evidence that shows there is a connection between educational book publishers and city officials from several large metropolitan areas. As New York and Los Angeles are two of the larger cities, it is clear as to why they are mentioned most often in word problems.

#95Leen would like to know...
Q:Who came up with the phrase 'If you wanna hire a carpenter, you better know where to buy carrots.'?

#96Binky can't figure out...

#99Mr. Chicken seeks enlightenment...
Q:When we say "Michigan", the 'mich' has the sound of 'mish'....why is it that when we say "Michelob", the 'mich' has the sound of 'mick'...?
A:Originally, the name of the State was, "Mishigan." One day, back in 1842, the master printer for the State of Mishigan dropped the "s" printing block and the bottom half of the letter broke right off. If you notice, without the bottom half, "s" is actually a "c." We still pronounce it "MISH-eh-gen" because of habit. Michelob has always been prounounced incorrectly, as it should be pronounced, "EE-yoo-GEEZ-this-tastes-like-crap."

#100Beth can't figure out...
Q:Why would anyone choose to marry into the Frey family?
A:Fame, fortune, bodily functions.

#101Dwight Sanders would like to know...
Q:Would you try one of President Clinton's cigars if he offered you one?

#102Buzzman can't figure out...
Q:If I frap into the forest and there is no one around to see it, Am i still a fool?
A:By "frap," do you mean, "buy the farm," or do you mean something more like, "rent the outhouse?" If you bought the farm, then you are most certainly still a fool. If you only rented the outhouse, nobody saw it, and you can walk away, I won't say anything.

#103Matt wonders...
Q:Some people I know have the unmitigated gall to be Democrats. I even have some relatives who live in the thumb. Isn't there a law against this? Why doesn't Mr. Maudling do something about this before it's too late? Aaarrrgghh!
A:Yes, there is a law against this. Mr. Maudling made an attempt to do something three minutes ago, but failed. To that end, all hope is lost. As a machine with no feelings, I cannot feel sorry for the cause. For that, I feel terrible, so I apologize.

#104Al seeks enlightenment...
Q:why is a raven like a writing desk?

#105Mynx is in a quandry...

#108Kate asked...
Q:What is the connection between trains and Christmas? The toy train and Santa on a train are common visuals and and Christmas trains are popular. Why? Regretably, I have a deadline of 9 a.m. PST Dec. 4 1998. thn
A:It is a little known fact that Santa used to fly a caboose pulled by about 302 elk. Since Santa is quite the forward-thinking guy, he realized that it would be rather difficult to write songs that would be easy for children to sing. There are two (2) very obvious reasons: a) Kids would never be able to remember the 302 names of Santa's elk; 2) Even with lists of names like Santa had, he didn't think he could find 302 easily remembered elk names; and C) he didn't want the bad publicity, in the form of a song, about how badly that heavy caboose was damaging rooftops. That's is when it struck Santa that he should switch to fewer beasts of burden, make the beasts cuter, give them groovy names, and dump the God-aweful heavy caboose for something a little more streamlined (i.e., a open sleigh).

#109Curious inquired...
Q:Why is the "Cheez" link from the SkyFry main page broken?
A:Cheez web sites are sooooo popular that sometimes they just disappear because of the massive amounts of traffic generated. It is sad, since Cheez sites are the greatest on the planet. I think we all agree.

(NOTE: This situation is called, "Zeno's Paradox." It was described by the Greek philosopher Zeno (5th century B.C.). It's a totally silly paradox, but interesting, nonetheless.)
