Re: Questions that need answering!
Your thread/questions are neither funny, clever nor original. To illustrate this I shall answer them seriously.

1) Are children who act in rated 'R' movies allowed to see them? |
Any child can view an "R" rated movie, the R rating is only a recommendation to theater operaters to bar persons under the age of 18 from viewing the film. Theater operaters may disregard this at will, as most will if the child is accompanied by an adult.
| quote: | | 2) When French people swear do they say pardon my English? |
No, most coloquializms do not translate cultural divides.
| quote: | | 3) "Cute as a button" Is that supposed to be a compliment? Since when are buttons cute? |
Yes. Since the adjective cute is a subjective term there is no difinitive answer to your second question.
| quote: | | 4)Why did Yankee Doodle name the feather in his hat Macaroni? |
It's a fictional story, in all likelihood there was no such person or event; however, if there were it is still likely that the Macaroni bit would be poetic license.
| quote: | | 5)Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink what comes out"? |
This is not documented.
| quote: | | 6)Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken over there ... I'm gonna eat the first thing that comes out if its butt"? |
This is also not documented; however, the practice of eating bird eggs pre-dates Homo-Sapien-Sapien.
| quote: | | 7)Isn't Disney World just a people trap operated by a mouse? |
No.
| quote: | | 8)Why is it illegal to park in a handicapped parking space but its ok to use a handicapped toilet? |
Handicapped toilets are not legislated.
| quote: | | 9)Why is it that if something says, "do not eat" on the packaging it becomes extra tempting to eat? |
Please present compelling evidence that this is true, as I suspect you are makeing a generalization based on your own experience.
| quote: | | 10) Don't you find it weird we teach our kids: scrub a dub dub, three men in a tub? |
It's actually "rub a dub dub." Throughout much of the world's history (and in some places even today) communal baths were the norm as it was not feasable to have running water and a wash basin in all homes; thus, the idea of three men being in a public bath together is neither strange nor does it have homosexual connotations... you only think it's strange because you, clearly, have very little understanding of history and/or differing cultural practices.
| quote: | | 11) Why would superman want to leap over the tallest building in a single bound if he can fly? |
That line comes from the original comics. In the original stories Superman could not fly, this was changed when the comics were adapted for television.
| quote: | | 12) Why is the name of the phobia for the fear of long words Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? |
Medical terms are normally compounds of Greek or Latin words which identify the condition/object. In this case; sesquippedaliophobia actually means the fear of words, monstro means monstorous/very large. The Hippopoto was likely included by whomever coined the term in order to convey a connotation of size as the word actually means river horses which is the root for hippopotomous... which are (of course) large.
| quote: | | 13) If when people freak out they are said to be "having a cow", when cows freak out are they said to be "having a person?" |
No.
I trust you will now understand that there was nothing humourous about your posts... in fact, it kind of made you appear rather stupid.
