1. They chain them to the desk to stop people from taking their pens.

2. It doesn't say that you will be a perfect person, but the thing you practice may become so good that people can't detect your errors.

3. The opposite of 'opposite' is 'same' or 'like'.

4. It's because it's softer than a baseball.

5. My freezer has a light in it; maybe your one just sucks. lol

6. Hippopoto- 'big' due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus,
-monstr- is from Latin words meaning 'monstrous', -o- is a noun-compounding vowel, -sesquipedali- comes from 'sesquipedalian' meaning a long word (literally 'a foot and a half long' in Latin), -o- is a noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means 'fear'. Furthermore, maybe the person that coined the word was a smartarse; why does the word 'lisp' have an 's' in it?

7. Yes, that word is in the dictionary, as it's a real word. (By the way, I didn't think it was not, not in the dictionary. lol)

1. Because of course pens are more important than money... Unless... I have been mislead all my life! NOOO!

2. Because you can be perfect (or extremely good) at one thing but you cannot be perfect at everything, therefore you cannot be perfect all round. Or the reason odal gave.

3. etisoppo. Wait... thats backwards... hehe. Same is the opposite of opposite, like odal and vanilla said.

4. They are softer than hardballs. And baseballs.

5. Maybe its because light affects how cold it is. Light gives off heat, doesn't it?
Wait.. using that reasoning, why does it have a light in the fridge?
Or maybe it's because freezers (at least the ones that I've seen) are packed full to the top and they don't want to break the light? Whereas in fridges the food or drink doesn't usually reach the top.

6. Odal covered this... he pretty much covered everything though...

7. It's for the same reason that black paint is dripping down from the roof onto your keyboard... someone has painted gullible on your roof.
