Mind Creepers!!

Some strange thoughts!!

1. Why do we call it perCENT? Can't we call it perPAISE in India?
2. When nothing sticks to TEFLON, how do they stick TEFLON to PAN?
3. Why do they use RED flower to symbolify LOVE. Is that to say, LOVE is deadly dangerous?
4. Why do they call it a MONITOR, though it is we who MONITOR it?
5. Why do we call it a BUILDING, though it is already built?
6. Is NEARLY a short form of Not EARLY?
7. Why do we call it APARTments, though they are built TOGETHER?
8. Why do we call it MOBILE, though it is we who walk with it everywhere to make the device MOBILE?
9. 'Opposite poles attract each other'. Is that why HARDware and SOFTware go together always?
10. If TRAIN station has TRAINS, what does a FIRE station have?
11. Two-thrid of the globe is covered with water!! Then why do we face "WATER SCARCITY"?
12. Though mountains are NEAR to sun, why are mountains COOLER?
