Why?

"What" is your specialty, Nes. I'm asking Why?

Why do you believe it to be redundant?

...

OK; since there seems to be some difficulty with this, I've posted some options from which you might choose, should you care to do so. If you've read through the thread, you'll know that I personally favor "Other", but the choice is yours.

So... Why?

According to my recent rep I won this thread.

I do believe in the power of bribery.

And, incidentally, I gladly accept bribes... though I don't promise to do anything for them. :)

Without the question of "Why", there would be nothing. No knew technologies, no religion (DON'T BAN ME YET), and no civilization. The question of "Why" symbolizes the curiousity of Mankind, and also leads to it's advancement in everything. If we do not ask "Why", then there would be no "Because".

There. I just made this thread serious.

That's quite true; Why? is important.

Other questions are important to other people; engineers, for example, may prefer How? and researchers What?, explorers Where? and forum trolls Huh?... but Why? is a fundamental question to us all.

I'm going to leave the poll up a few more days before closing it, just to give folks a chance to get their opinions in. And besides, I still want to know Why?, and there's been very little given me for a definitive answer... :)

What?.....

Why? Other (please explain). B-Cos I said so!

This is one of the fundamental questions of science.

Why does this do such-and-such? Why does electricity conduct through human skin, even though skin isn't a good conductor? Why does the lack of heat cause pain?

This question is what drives our quest for intelligence and our understanding of our complex world. It's one of the most basic of words, but one that has helped us reach the technology levels of today.

we all know Because. Because. Because. Because.Because.
