29. The chicken and the egg paradox. This is not at all a paradox; but it still has two answers. If you believe in creationism, the answer is chicken as it was created by God. If you believe in evolutionary theory, the answer is egg because dinosaurs came first and laid eggs and if that isn't good enough than think about how evolution works. The first chicken hatched from an egg that was laid by something that was not quite a chicken. Keep going back and you hit the dinosaur. Two answers but no paradox.
30.The glass is____. To be a smart ass, either way the other half has air in it and so the glass is technically full. To be a scientist, say the first bit and add that the atoms are mostly empty space and so the glass is actually considerably more than half empty.
31. Get a degree. Most businesses don't care what it's in. I kick myself for getting mine in Philosophy since it could have been in underwater basket weaving. The latter would be more practical in finding work. Seriously... personal experience.
