    Understanding it in real life is a bit tough which is why we employ math to express it in another language.

    What is division? Sharing/Distributing evenly among certain elements, right?
    So what if you share 10 candies among 0 people? Noone gets the candy and you still have em. In this case you are not participating in the division, hence there is no change. That is where the paradox arises - if the candy doesn't move and it cannot stay where it currently is - where does it go?

    I have a few: ( i know they are not "how-t0" though im still interested in knowing answers lol )

    Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?

    If pro is the opposite of con, then wouldn't congress be the opposite of progress?

    Why is a completed building still called a "building" since it's already built?

    At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?

    Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs.

    If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?

    1: No, They were Created.
    2: Quite correct, There is hardly any progress in the congress anyways. (Politics work like that)
    3: Any house owner should know that: You are never done with a house/building there is always some building to do on a house if you want to keep it in order.
    4: If you are greedy then Both are yours.
    5: He does both: He Carries them in a basket and then lays them down in hidden places.
    6: Even shoes with a perfect fit can be removed with some force. It is not like she had a padlock on her shoe.

    1. Doubtful since they came about and were not born in the physical sense.

    2. Of course, experimental data says so.

    3. Like most english words that were adopted, they were mispronounced and twisted ever so slightly. Kind of like evolution for etymology. So to see where this comes from we need to look at the etymology. It came from Old English (Not shakespearian, legitimate Old English as in Beowulf); the word was byldan and in Middle English bilden. However, this is not far enough back to get the real origin. Byldan came from he proto-germanic word of buldijan. This is a derivative of bold or bodl meaning dwelling (or building). So back to byldan which then transferred to bilden, which possibly obtained bildeng to make the word finish better while rolling off the tongue. Or it was misheard from a foreigner. Anywho, this eventually developed in our English to building. (If you can't tell, I love etymology :D)

    4. Depends. If the rows contain armrests on the ends of each row, then whoever is on the end decides. Just make sure to take it before someone else does who doesn't see the trend coming from the end. If only the right end of the row has an armrest, the armrest on the right is yours. Vice versa for the left.

    5. o_O Edit: Forgot the easter egg question. The bunny is a sign of fertility, as are eggs. Combine the two and you get... Super Fertility Man-bunny! But really, Easter is about fertility and beginning new life.

    6. She was possible wearing stockings or something similar that would be more fitting for the time. As a guy, it is more relatable, I would assume, to some nice, new dress socks. Ever had them with leather shoes? Wow, do you just slip in slide within your shoe, even if it is somewhat small for you. I'd imagine in the hustle and bustle that Cinderella just slipped out of her perfectly fitting shoe not because of the shoe size but the slipperyness of her leg-wear.

    Did you know that drinking coke or any other drink made from said company, for that matter any fizzy drink, makes your body dissolve your bones and you pee out the transformed calcium? Now that you know that, what are you going to do about this knowledge? Knowledge without application is just trivia.

    Coffee divided by zero = You just drank the coffee you said you were going to share!
    Paint divided by zero = Your wall looks just fine without any paint.
    Pants divided by zero = Why did you rip your pants off and say that they did it on their own?
    Please note that this is all based on science, and may or may not be true.
    Thank you, and have fun without any pants on in public.

    Quite true: What matters most is how we apply it. How ever we should be careful in that matter too. For example we hear many stories in the news that: Chips can cause cancer, Walking outside when it is sunshine outside can also cause cancer. Inhaling water is also not good for the body but we can not live with out it.
    The danger is not really in the consumption of a coke / beer once in a while the danger comes when products are over consumed or used in the wrong way. We can also conclude that some products are easier to over consume than others.

    Not any fizzy drink, it has nothing to do with carbonation its due to free radicals that are in great abundance in soft drinks. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell, this causes it to actively seek out a pairing and steal from your body usually in the form of calcium from your bones. They are oxidizers and are countered by antioxidants which supply them with the missing pairing they actively seek, hence why antioxidants are so talked about in health :) Carbonation has nothing to do with it, a common myth with has been debunked by clinical studies.

    Dzyriq's answer about getting a kitty is nice. Because kitties are best.
    Though, if you really want to be effective in your efforts, you should really aim to gain the squirrels' trust and become the Squirrel Queen. Doing so will effectively allow you to eradicate the squirrels at will. Catch/kill/keep as a pet. To get squirrel queen status, dance around outside and yell "BALOOLALALOOO" to get the squirrel and possibly everything else around's attention. Ignore your neighbor's worried looks, this will pass in time. Crouch down with a handful of almonds and hold some out. Eventually, one will be stupid enough to come and eat out of your hand not knowing your devious plan. Earn their trust Lauren, and then do with them as you will. It'll work trust me, I was a Squirrel Queen once..

    Just do it man. Divide this answer by 0 and it's 0. Simple as that because math is too often complicated when it doesn't need to be. Dividing a choice by 0 would be nothing. More like a brain fart.
    To your second question, yes, the humans change their minds often and don't tend to stay satisfied with what they want because of a subconscious need to change. Looking at it more simply, people's needs change and their wants as well. It's sad and rare to find someone who wants one thing, for example a certain friend type or partner, forever because things just change and everyone is different.

    Well, ages ago back in the 16th century, pants were two separate pieces of clothing held together so they worked like our pants today. The name "pair" of pants was still used after the conjoining of fabrics.
    Same idea for the television. Back in the 50's, there were multiple components to the tv (stand, blubs etc.) and thus was a set.
