Assuming you are being sarcastic (it's not clear), I refer to this as a
CatRan question, i.e., "I was typing away on my computer and I was
holding the keyboard above my head and I was watching the screen through
my toes when all of a sudden the cat ran over my stomach and I noticed
the screen blinked twice. What causes that"?

Reminds me of the time an aquaintance went to lunch with me and a few of
the other engineers. He was in a rather "know it all" mood. I started
plying him with questions about how water softeners work, what causes
gravity, etc. He was doing good until I asked him, "Ever wake up on a
wednesday and think it was tuesday all day and then wake up the next day
and everything is ok again? What is that called?" He shut up after that.
