Like.. why did the news start calling rebels in iraq "insurgents". Who out there sat back, hands behind his/her head decided to call them that? Who out there uses that word regularly, and how many out there that heard that word knows what the hell it means without looking it up? Most all of the news folks call them that now.. the insurgents this, the insurgents that.. I bet the guy/gal who grabbed the thesaurus for the first time looking for a new and fresh word to use just beams every time he/she hears it now. "I did that." Kudos to you, ever who you were.
I want to know a lot of things. Useless to some, maybe, maybe even useless to me, but still, I'm ignorant, and therefore, curious.
I want to know why they stopped putting the little leaf/flower patterns on the tops of butter pats in those pretty little bowls. That was nice. I can't remember the brand name, but I never see it anymore. Now it's just a .. swirl (it looks like a navel, or an asshole) on the top of the butter in bowls I buy.
I want to know why you can't buy jelly in drinking glasses anymore. That was nice too.. and dish cloths in laundry detergent. I can't remember the last time I got a surprise out of my 'soap flakes'. I did get a really cute bobble-head out of my Froot-Loops yesterday.
Who won that great big lottery last week? (It wasn't me.)
We need licenses to drive cars, to operate a business, to build our homes, to be employed in professional fields, we need a license to put our boats into the water, to own a dog, to get married, for so many important things, but.. to have a child, we don't need a license for that. Isn't that odd? Something that important, but yet practically anyone who wants to (and a lot who don't) can do it scott free, without a hint of a license. I wonder why...
How come I can't have a real river rock stone floor in my den?
What are those little floating particles in Deer Park bottled drinking water?
Why does my bath tub become full of my fallen-out-hair only after I've used "Frizz-Ease" Shampoo and Conditioner? Is it that this shampoo stops the Frizzies by melting those strands with frizz off of your head, and did I have that much frizz? And if I keep using it for a while, will I go totally bald?
That little pendulum experiment the brain on that cartoon did last week, swinging it close to dominos - he said that the earth is turning and eventually the pendulum would hit one of the dominos and knock it over.. would that really happen?
