The Mysteries of Life

Here are some of the mysteries of life. Can you solve any of them :?:
1. Why does each decade take a different amount of time to complete? From 0 to 10 years old goes slowly; from 10 to 20 takes ages; from 20 to 30 quick - and then the acceleration really kicks in. Is the earth spinning faster on its axis?
2. How does a cow know it's not a butterfly dreaming it is a cow?
3. Why is it that when you go to park your car in a totally empty car park, someone ALWAYS pulls in next to your vehicle?
4. What does an occasional table do the rest of the time?
5. How does the non-stick material stick to the pan?
6. Why does the phone ring as soon as I get in the shower? Why does somebody knock on the door just as I go to the loo?
7. Why are buses and trains always running late, yet when I'm running late they are on time and I miss them?
8. If the universe is expanding and the universe is all there is, what is it expanding into?
9. Why does a toothache always happen on a Saturday or Sunday when all dentists are closed?
10. Why is the road always clear while you're getting into the car, and putting your seatbelt on, but incredibly busy the moment you start to back out of the driveway?
11. Why does your new appliance always break down, two days after the warranty expires?
12. How come no-one has minted a 99p coin? Everything seems to cost £1.99, £2.99, 99p.
13. Why do advertisers make choosing a brand of toothpaste seem like a life altering decision?
14. Why is a spread-out newspaper or magazine of no interest to my cat until I start reading it - then he sits on the bit I am reading?
Any answers gratefully received
