How do the Italians always get away with their fouling ways ? Even in the front of the officials.
...in F1, if teams have radio contact with their driver why do they still hang boards over the side of the pit lane giving them information?
....is the awarding of international football caps unique to the home countries? You see foreign players quoted as having caps for their countries but do they truly get a cap or is it just a British thing?

Found this website, and I think you can infer that it's just the British Isles , with regards to football, that awards actual caps.

When people in China are going out, do they say they are going for a Chinese, or do they just call it food.

I've watched innumerable programmes about the Big Bang, and I always lose the smidgeon of understanding I had gleaned when some American professor from UCLA appears in front of a blackboard.
why ask why?
Why not?

When you're driving along a lane and there are cyclists ahead of you .... why is it you come up behind them JUST as you approach a bend, or JUST as there is oncoming traffic or both?
About 1 in every 100 times, this does not happen and I don't have to slow down and wait.

That's cos they keep changing their theories. As far as I see physics (speaking as a chemistry teacher / geologist) - every time someone comes up with data that puts Einstein's ideas into doubt, the physicists run away to their slide rules and try to make the maths work. Adding another (imaginary) dimension to the universe does the trick mathematically, but that then means they have to install fudge factors, which normally involves changing the universe's mass, or rate of expansion, its age, or the existence of other, new particles. I think we're currently up to .... what ... 16 dimensions by some reckoning.
I tease my physics colleagues by referring to the subject as "mathematics and make-believe."
