When you are bored, just search for "interesting questions". There are some classic ones that are boring. Then there are sites like this one:
Some are intriguing, some are a little weird and some are more like jokes.
Here are some examples:
A "Duh" moment: Why is there a disclaimer on the Allstate Auto Insurance commercials that says "Not available in all states"?
Joke: If pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress?
Just Checking: In the song Yankee Doodle, is he calling the horse or the feather "macaroni"?
Tricky One: What do you do when you see an endangered animal that is eating an endangered plant?
One I've always wondered: How can something be "new" and "improved"? if it's new, what was it improving on?
Pun: If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest?
Contradictory: Why does caregiver and caretaker mean the same thing?
Another one I've wondered: Why do we
sing "Rock a bye baby" to lull a baby to sleep when the song is about
putting your baby in a tree and letting the wind crash the cradle on the
ground? What about most other nursery rhymes for that matter?
Yet another one I've wondered: If parents say, "Never take candy from strangers" then why do we celebrate Halloween?
And here are some other ones if you don't end up checking that site out.
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
How come toy hippos are always blue, or purple, when real hippos are brown?
Why do they say a football team is the 'world champion' when they don't play anybody outside the US?
If a bunch of cats jump on top of each other, is it still called a dog pile?
On Gilligan's Island, how did Ginger have so many different outfits when they were only going on a 3 hour tour?
Doesn't a lightning rod on top of church show a lack of faith?
Even if you don't know the answer to these questions, its still fun to think about them.
