Why?
This thread is for those questions that baffle even the most clever of people Here's some of mine
Why is the word phonetic spelt with a PH and not and F
Why is the Fear of long words called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
Why are Bananas in the fruit section when they in fact classified as a Herb
Why are Tomatoes & Cucumbers in the veg section when they are in fact fruit (Botanically speaking, tomatoes are the fruit of a vine, just as are cucumbers)
