Well do you?

I mean, really, how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck would?

And, if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does anyboby listen, does anybody care?

Can you think of any others?

What is the sound of one hand clapping?
(Yes, I know, its about how people need to help each other, you can't get anything done without support, etc)
If you open and close your dominant hand as fast and hard as you can, you can actually get it to make a quiet clapping noise. Someone asked me this question in all seriousness once and I did that. They were

My guess would be no based on the fact that the belly button is formed by the umbilical cord, and they were never attached to one! Good question!

I know the answer to that one!! A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
