Dunno about any of the rest, but I can answer ...

27. What are those little things on the end of your shoelaces called?

They are called Aglets.

and

29. Why are there dents in a golf ball?

When golfing was first invented, the ball they used was perfectly round and smooth. However, each time the ball was used, it would get little dents in it from being hit with the iron clubs. The dents didn't look very good, and probably were thought of as damaging at first. But it didn't take long for the golfers to realize that the MORE DENTS the ball had, the FARTHER and STRAIGHTER it flew. Soon after, using the dented, experienced golf balls as a model, they began to manufacture balls with the dents already in them. Thus the balls we have today will fly much farther than any of the first golf balls they started with, because they have learned from the experienced balls of the past.

If you were born exactly on 12:00 midnight on December 31st – January 1st, which year would you say you were born in? 12 midnight is the start of the day, so if you were born at 23:59:59 on December 31st, you'd be born in that year, if you were born a second later, you'd be born in the following year and on 1st January.

If heat rises then shouldn’t hell be cold? why? If heat rises, the source of our heat must be at the centre of the Earth so Hell must be closer to the heat source and of course it's going to be hotter.

Where would we be without rhetorical questions? Same place as we are now. Unless you're moving, in which case here would be there and I'd be confused.

If mineral water has trickled through mountains for thousands of years, how does it have an expiration date? Run a tap and fill a sink. Leave it for six weeks. Then tell me water shouldn't have a "best before" date.

What does OK stand for?

OK is a quintessentially American term that has spread from English to many other languages. Its origin was the subject of scholarly debate for many years until Allen Walker Read showed that OK is based on a joke of sorts. OK is first recorded in 1839 but was probably in circulation before that date. During the 1830s there was a humoristic fashion in Boston newspapers to reduce a phrase to initials and supply an explanation in parentheses. Sometimes the abbreviations were misspelled to add to the humor. OK was used in March 1839 as an abbreviation for all correct, the joke being that neither the O nor the K was correct. Originally spelled with periods, this term outlived most similar abbreviations owing to its use in President Martin Van Buren's 1840 campaign for reelection. Because he was born in Kinderhook, New York, Van Buren was nicknamed Old Kinderhook, and the abbreviation proved eminently suitable for political slogans. That same year, an editorial referring to the receipt of a pin with the slogan O.K. had this comment: “frightful letters... significant of the birth-place of Martin Van Buren, old Kinderhook, as also the rallying word of the Democracy of the late election, ‘all correct’.... Those who wear them should bear in mind that it will require their most strenuous exertions... to make all things O.K.”
