Questions I was never asked before I began to Homeschool...

Well, this Christmas will be our 7th year of Home Schooling. In commemoration of such a monumental event, I thought I would share a few questions that I have never been asked before I started Home Schooling. I have been working with children for 15 years, but only Home School Children (including my own) have asked the following:
When monarch butterflies migrate down south, do they need sunscreen?
During the Rain-no-sense, did they all eat Napolean ice cream?
How does the lightning get into the wires to make electricity?
Is DNA really made out of black and red blocks?
Is gym class just running around? I must be really in shape because my mom says I do that constantly.
Now, that obviously is the younger crowd, now for the 9 and up...
When you make pie and make sure everyone has an even slice, do you actually use the formula p^? Than why do we need to know this?
If dinosaurs lungs are not large enough to hold the capacity of their weight and height, than how did they survive in this oxygen based environment? We can only theorize that before the Flood the oxygen in the environment was thicker with more moisture, like those oxygen tanks that athletes use. Right? (This one really shocked me, came from a 10 year old) I had to look it up, http://www.digisys.net/users/ddalton/creation_vs__evolution.htm This is the short version to that question, the dinosaur part is at the bottom of the page!
What is ? (man, am I glad for teacher manuals!)
How does biochemical make up of our bodies coincide with ...? I can't even remember the rest of the question, I was lost at biochemical! That one was answered by somebody else! PHEW, saved!
My all time favourite:
I love Chemistry, cakes always taste good! Can we have a piece?
