Things that keep me awake.

Things to think about while sitting in traffic, waiting in the Doctors office or pretending to listen to your spouse...

  • Shouldn't there have been only one seedless watermelon? or grape?
  • Why is it called toe jam instead of jelly? How about toe marmalade?
  • Is the universe really infinite, or have they just not found the end of it yet?
  • If the belly button is so good at trapping lint, why not install them on clothes dryers?
  • Why is called lemon-lime instead of limey-lemon?
  • If you are moving at twice the speed of sound, and you say something, how long until you hear yourself?
  • Or...given the above scenario, do you hear yourself before you speak?
  • Why do renderings of Adam and Eve have navels?
  • How does a mime call for help?
  • Is there a home for battered fish?
  • If cats always land on their feet, and buttered toast lands butter side down, what happens if you put butter on a cats back and drop it?
  • If you read the dictionary cover to cover, does that mean you've read all the books in the world as well?
  • Is there another word for thesaurus?
  • What is the synonym of synonym?
  • If you threw a unlimited amount of time in a bottomless pit, which would run out first?
  • Shouldn't a small cake made of cooked ground beef be called a cow patty?
  • Three out of four people make up three quarters of the world.
If any of this causes you to lose sleep, I can recommend the Parliamentary Channel.

If you have more of these, I will add them to my collection, and give you absolutely no credit.

I read once that if you strap a piece of buttered toast to a cat and drop it it it will spin indefinitely a few inches from the floor. The energy thus created could be harnessed, and perhaps put together with other buttered cats an entire Hot Buttered Cat Array (or HBCA) could be created, and all of our energy problems could be solved forever!
