it was all a stipulation of my release, I had to find something else to concentrate on besides the voices. But pssst, sometimes they count for me.

So that's it!!!
They can't count to 10? They can only get to 9.47638?
Which would explain why you can't tell how many words are in your stories, but can count the pages...

Ok, here's what I want to know... Why is it that when people taste something disgusting, they want you to taste it to?
Example: "Oh god this tastes like crap! Here taste it."
Why in the hell would I want to taste something that tastes like crap?
Same thing goes for icky smells... "This smells like ass, here smell this." Why? Why would I want to?
And you know, we're all guilty of it. I guess it's human nature to want to share revolting things with eachother. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be shows like Fear Factor... |

Just some ponderings while waiting for an app. at the hospital...
I just wonder...
why is "abbreviated" such a long word? (Really!)
why doctors call what they do "practice"?
why the man who invests all your money is called a broker?
why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?
why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
and this one I pondered on after watching the Daily Show:
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

ah, yes. the courtesy smell. i've noticed, at least among my own friends, that males are more prone to actually sniff or taste said disgusting thing and react to it themselves.
but then these same male friends also hump each other on a regular basis, so perhaps this isn't a very accurate representation of human behavior.  |

 Yes, at least in the US.

I've always wondered what would happen if you were to super-glue a peice of buttered toast (butter side up) to the back of Schroedinger's cat and drop him on the kitchen floor

And is the feminine version of a misogynist a misterogynist?

I would ask a question that I asked on another forum but some college student with way too much time on his hands gave me a four paragraph answer to the question - What is it humans not humen?

If you get the weight of the buttered toast right, and manage to eliminate any friction caused by the surrounding air, you should create a perpetual motion engine. But we wouldn't recommend opening the box because the cat might be dead. |

LMAO, El, that was freaking brilliant. We could invent a whole new way to dry clothes.

And why is it louse / lice, mouse / mice, but not spouse / spice  (I borrowed that one from one of my mum's pupils)
