Why Wile E Coyote continues to do business with Acme. You would think he would seek out legal action against Acme after all the mishaps. Why Dale Gribble doesn't know Joseph is John Redcorn's son. Marge was knocked up by Homer when they left high school. So Marge & Homer would of been in their early 20's. Bart is 10 years old. So why are Marge & Homer in their late 30's? Shouldn't they be in their early 30's? They actually did an episode last season explaining this.

Batman wears a frigen cape and cowl, and hides in a cave, while Superman just takes off his glasses and goes to the nearest Phone Booth?

It's more than just the glasses, people. It's the posture, the tone of speech, the personality. There's also the fact that, since Superman doesn't wear a mask, very few people think he has a secret identity in the first place. For example, in the eyes of the current Lex Luthor, he couldn't see someone that powerful wanting to hide his power. It also helps that Clark has figured ways around people figuring it out...like after he returned as Superman, then had the Supergirl at the time (a shapeshifter) pretend to be Clark to further disparage those rumors. Just had to get that all off my chest.

How can anyone afford insurance in the comic book world? You can't go a day without some battle going on where stuff gets destroyed. The rates must be through the roof. I bet there are provisions for where you live - if you live in Smallville you pay little, if you live in Metropolis the rates go through the roof.
You'd think rent would be effected as well. What if you lived in downtown Gotham or Metropolis or New York City? With the frequent superhero battles going on there you'd think the rent would be dirt cheap. Building owners would have to give deep discounts to future tenants.
How come no one ever complains about being hot when they have their costume under their street clothes? Especially in the summer?
Those times when Supes has his costume on while under his street clothes - how does he fold his cape behind him so neatly so he doesn't leave a bump on his back?
How come Garfield never barfs his guts out after he pigs out on so much Lasagna?

My big one, and yeah, it's a nitpick, but as someone with even just a basic knowledge of physics, how does Cyclops have a head? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Every time Cyke shoots an optic blast, his neck should, at the very least, snap in a very sickening manner.
Yeah, it's dumb, but this is the kind of stuff that occurs to me.

Building owners would have to give deep discounts to future tenants. In the Marvel Universe, they have something called the "Damage Control." They're basically in charge of rebuilding after every superhero battle. As for DC, well, Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor are pretty much richer than Oprah, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Mark Zuckerberg combined, so that takes care of Gotham and Metropolis. As for elsewhere, I have no idea.

I got a Simpsons one. How come Bart, Lisa, and Maggie have spiky hair, when Homer is nearly bald (and even in episodes featuring his younger self, he has basic brown hair) while Marge has that tall blue hair.
In fact, the Simpsons are the only ones with unusual hair. Everyone else has normal-looking hair (for cartoons).

How do all those mystery solving teen groups (ie, scooby doo) make money? I mean, they do drive vans around quite a bit which must cost them gas money, not to mention paying for essentials like food and clothing? I guess you could argue that the citizens are grateful for the teens stopping the crimes that they pay them, but you never see them getting paid.

I'd certainly wager that he smokes it, no one without the serious munchies would make a sandwich like that. I also question the narcotic content of Scooby Snacks - you swallow a Scooby Snack, you start seeing ghosts. Hmmmm....

They've also done episodes with a younger Abe, and in those he also had plain brown hair, just like his son Homer did.

Ok, something that recently has been bugging me. In the King of the Hill episode where Hank(technically Luanne) won that promotional contest held by Alamo Beer to throw a football at a Dallas Cowboys game halftime to win $1 million or to have "Dandy" Don Meredith throw the football to win $100,000 for you, why the f*** was the game they were sent to an away game?
Don't you think for something like this you'd make it a home game so they could have the home crowd behind them? Plus wouldn't it be, oh, I dunno, cheaper to send someone in Texas to a Dallas Cowboys home game than it would be to ship them off to a place like New Orleans?

I guess you could argue that the citizens are grateful for the teens stopping the crimes that they pay them, but you never see them getting paid. I've said it before.....It's all a scam. Basically a 2 man con. The "Gang" researches local legends and then hires some low-level thugs to dress up and perpetrate the legend. Then "coincidentally" break down in some sleepy little hamlet. Go about "solving" the "mystery" while thier accomplices commit high dollar crimes to cover the overhead. The Reward money is then pure profit.

I had a similar issue with the Texas/Nebraska episode. I've been watching AT4W lately and I must say...why would anyone trust the Jackyl?

The Dallas Cowboys have deeper pockets than most franchises, they can splurge for just about anybody. Plus the subplot still had to tie into the Dautrieve affair.
