1. On an articulated lorry what is the purpose of the set of wheels that is raised off the ground?
Visibility Bump.
I always assumed they were deployed when running a particularly heavy load but it is only my assumption.
I think Johndoh is right. They lift them to save on tyre wear and fuel when running light/empty.
What I want to know is why do you never see baby pigeons?
More the other way round - they're used normally, but can be raised under light loads to improve fuel consumption and also to enhance manouvrability - less skidding/scuffing when turning hard.
Reads like you answered your own question.

Why are the digits on a calculator and the digits on a phone laid out differently?
And why does it not seem to cause any issues

Because they stay in their nest till they are fully feathered about 40 days and when they leave they are not far off the size of an adult pigeon.
Are friends electric?
I don't think so...but I'm not positive.
Only if they are the girlfriend from an eccentric family. 😉

In the TV show Loki, the villain is a variant of Loki from a different timeline, but takes the form of a female. If Lady Loki and regular Loki make sweet love down by the fire, does that count as incest or masturbation?
What’s the colour of money?
Money is an economic unit, originated to facilitate transactions and to be useful tends to be fungible, durable, portable, recognizable, stable, and probably turquoise?

Are these necessarily mutually exclusive categories? Asking as you've clearly thought about this a lot.
We only see baby pigeons, it’s the 2m tall adults that live underground that we don’t see.

I have been thinking about Lady Loki quite a lot, guilty as charged.

Had never noticed this, but I do sometimes hit the wrong button when using the calculator on my phone.

Used to cause me issues back in the day when we had desk phones at work. After hours on excel taping in numbers from the number pad on the key board so that I could do it without looking at the keys, then picking up the phone to call someone I'd always get the wrong number because the keys were laid out upside down relative to the computer keyboard.

I believe it was to slow down dialling when tone dialling first came in. People who were super fast on calculators could dial too quickly. No longer a problem of course now that the phones just dial out at a fixed rate however fast you enter the numbers

The former is often true, the latter is very rarely is.
In fact, "all good things come to those who wait" and other sayings that extol the virtue of patience, are tools to exploit others. There can't be many people alive, who at one time or other haven't been told by a partner, 'friend' or employer, "just keep doing what you're doing for my benefit, and a large, but undetermined reward will come to you at an undetermined time in the very near future".
The only thing that comes to those who wait is disappointment, if you want something never expect anyone to give it to you unless it benefits them directly. Especially in a work environment.
