That's why you fall back on the "shiney winey box with the glowey thing and the bits that go clackety-clackety-clack" explanation. This way, you can blind them with science.

That sounds more like work than for relaxation...or do I have the wrong impression of Dostoevsky? I've always found Russian writers a little slow going.

That's where I'm at right now with my 4 year old. After 20 minutes, I resort to that, or "Just because".

Good to know. I keep reminding myself "that's how they learn", so I answer until I can't stand it anymore, then redirect to mom. :)

After they ask about 100 questions, you should ask them one of the questions they asked about 50 questions ago. If they can't answer, tell them they aren't paying attention and you aren't going to keep answering their questions if they don't renember your answers. And if they manage to answer correctly, then keep pumping them full of information![^] ;P

I usually tell them to ask a complete question. Simply saying "Why?" is not enough. The response "Why what?" is a good starter, there. Then, if their question makes sense, I will answer it in an age-appropriate fashion. But as soon as they stop making valid questions, or are unable to grasp the complexity, I cut them off. Actually, this should be required for adults, as well.
Codemonkeys don't do it at all. Too busy coding.
