Or in a restaurant when they tell you the plate is really hot-WHY do people have to touch it?
But seriously, that question about blind people dreaming is really a good one.

Okay, I don't know if you mean for this to be answered literally but here's my shot at it:

Legality reasons would be my guess

2. If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?
Actually, it depends. According to my husband's family experience with land ownership, you can sell/purchase both the land itself and mineral rights.

5. Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
Hmm, how old is your fridge? My fridge as a light!


I enjoyed the rest of your questions! Great post!
