Why?
Why not?

I dunno if this is true or not, but i heard of someone who took philosophy at University of Marlyand. One of his essays on the final exam was "Why?". All he wrote was why not and he got an A.

I'm doing it because if I didn't, scav would.

Legend: A philosophy professor gives a final exam consisting entirely of a single word: "Why?" One student answers "Why not?" and receives an 'A'.

Variations:

* In a

different version of this legend one student receives a top grade for responding simply "Because."

* Another version involves a philosophy instructor who, for a final examination, places a chair at the front of the room and challenges the class to prove it exists. One student receives an 'A' for writing "What chair?"

* Yet another similar legend has a professor ask his class to define 'courage.' The highest grade is awarded to the student who hands in his exam after writing nothing more than "This is." (In some variations of this version, the student who receives the top mark is the one who turns in a blank sheet of paper.)

Origins: On Why ask why? one level, this tale could be seen as a sort of braggadocio legend: a professor presents his class with an exceedingly difficult question to answer for their final exam, and the student who has the nerve to provide a clever, simple answer receives an easy 'A' on the test. (This point is made even more explicitly in the variant where the class is asked to define 'courage.') Another possible interpretation of this legend is as a wry commentary on the sciolism of academia. What is a more profound subject for the true scholar to contemplate, after all, than the basic question of meaning and existence? The student's flippant response (and his receiving a top mark for same) underscores the notion that a 'solid education' is sometimes an ornately decorated empty shell.

Grass appears green because all of the colors in the rainbow are absorbed into the leaves of the grass except green.

The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west. And that's because Earth spins -- toward the east.

Probably because her husband is in Iraq and she is too busy taking care of the little one at the moment.

Because that's your personal prefrence.

Because it's fun and the people here rock.

....to all those other why's, just because.
