Things that confuse you...

Why is it that the earth with it's gravitational pull doesn't suck the moon into us

It does, that is what keeps it in orbit.

"Garlic bread"

How that phrase can be funny when said multiple times by a stand up comedian.

How aeroplanes, particularly the long haul sized ones, get in the air and then stay up there.

Bernoulli theroum. Easy when you know how.

But they are so big and heavy 🤯🤯😱

Why are all spin bowlers so ugly?

 

[Robin Hood]

More hair growing in your nose and ears than on your head 😬

I know what you mean. I know how it's done and it is amazing that simple air pressure can lift them off the ground.

DNA, chromosomes and genes, what is the difference?

genes are not allowed on a golf course

Why I can never stay awake for the whole of the Match of the Day but find it hard to sleep past 4 in the morning.

How you can hit a ball well in warming up and then step over the road to the first tee and play as though you're a new golfer

It is happening, and it will just take a long, long long time.

And I read somewhere that the difference between the air pressure above & below the wing is the equivalent of a baby's breath.

All about loft.....

Avocado. Why?

Why is it that the earth with it's gravitational pull doesn't suck the moon into us

This part I get - it's also speeding 'away from' (or 'across') us at just the right amount to balance the gravitational pull, so the result is an orbit.
Oh. Be thankful that's what happens, otherwise we would have 'fallen' into the sun long ago!

What I would like someone to explain is why it's always the same face of the moon we - except for a few astronauts - see!

The moon is getting away from us, not getting closer. Eventaully we will lose or grip on it, The moon is what makes our planet so stable.

Cucumbers. Who in their right mind likes cucumbers? Why is it that although they're almost completely water the repeat on me for hours?

Another thing that confuses me is when I see a BMW with flashing indicators. Does the driver know he's indicated?

The moon is tidally locked so the it takes the same time to rotate as to orbit the earth so we only ever see the one side.
