some probably do, for the sake of playing on their "down under" nickname.

what?

Can a stupid person be a smart-ass?
being a smartass means being technical or bombastic; if they have enough intelligence for that, then yes.

the creators either forgot about it or decided not to give him one; fiction isn't always realistic you know.

it sticks on your lips.

Why is it that night falls but day breaks?

huh?

if there is one available, then yes, you can.

do they keep it?
they "save" it so it will will last longer in one's daily routine, and they "keep" it later in the day, towards night time.

Did Noah keep his bees in archives?
no, they probably stayed in beehives.

they can't eat jellybeans, nor do they have the same digestive system as mammals in the first place, and nor do jellybeans come from beans.

Do pilots take crash-courses?
probably.

Do stars clean themselves with meteor showers?
no.
