Ahh, here's a good one: "Why is Rhode Island called an island when it obviously isn't an island?" You have 'till next Sunday to answer before I (hopefully) answer it for you! Or an equally good question, "Why did they use the word 'island' three times in that one question?"

Rhode Island is called an island because when they named it they thought it was an island? You used the word island in the question three times so that you could ask why you used the word island in the question three times?

"Let's get the island problem licked first. No, technically, the whole state isn't an island, but historians are confident that originally "Rhode Island" referred not to the whole territory but to what we now call Aquidneck Island, where Newport is located."
You were on the right track Evan, good job!

Here's a new (in my opinion easier) one: "Why are address labels on subscription magazines usually placed upside-down?"

So that people with upside-down heads can read them?

I suppose that they're something of a minority, though.
