Week In Review

Random thoughts from the last week:

I wonder what would happen if you wanted an alternative to alternative music? Would that new kind of music that you are listening to suddenly get referred to as alternative? And if so what would you then call what you used to regard as alternative? Now these are questions that require our immediate attention.

Something else that requires our immediate attention are the discrepancies within the English Language. Apparently you are allowed to coin terms that don't make any sense. For example, how is something whose value is extremely high referred to as being priceless? Shouldn't something that's free be priceless? And what about all the confusion with fiction and non-fiction. You would think that books based on true events would be fiction and those that are made up would be non-fiction but instead it's the other way around. Furthermore, why do they call it a toothbrush if you use it to brush more than one tooth? And why do they call it a haircut if you get more than one hair cut?

People who hum while urinating are weird.

Mother nature is definitely a Democrat. How else can you explain how in Florida it can be raining on one side of the street but not the other? Only John Kerry has a harder time making up his mind.

Have you ever noticed that every time someone calls someone else a prick they always say that they are being a pretenious prick? I wonder why that is? Perhaps there are other types of pricks and they just wanted to clarify their insult. Or maybe they were just going for an insult that was both hurtful and contained aliteration.

I think that the lint that gets thrown out before doing laundry is a complete waste. What if we could make something out of that material instead of just throwing it out?
