Random Thoughts or Whatever

Don't remind me. I should have kept the old refrigerator, it was a tank. The new 'pretty' one is a total piece of crap. It's noisy, the freezer builds up ice because of an aggravating design flaw, and it holds virtually NOTHING !. The shelving and door pockets were designed by people that have no idea what size and shape food is. I can't even stand up a bottle of wine it it.
All the drawers and fancy plastic eat up valuable space.

Drives me nuts too. Nothing fits and it makes noises all the time ... that are just weird.
 
New "warnings" on each cigarette now.

Wonder how many will read these words as they smoke?:dunno:

Q
They were called coffin nails before we born, that's enough of a warning one would think. Ya, but I like 'em, a few years off the end is lost on the present. Once 'hooked' the pleasure is in satisfying the hook, never having smoked this is a guess. Out of thoughtfulness they should put the warning at the front of the cigarette so it doesn't interfere with the pleasure while smoking without losing the virtue of fair warning. The games people play.
 
If you talk to plants, do they listen.

Watched a special once with a German professor, who claimed that trees talk to each other.

Says we can't hear them due to the altra-low frequencies they use, and has tested this ability.


There are "tree-huggers" out there...so?


Q
May be same guy, has book out, "The Secret Life Of Trees" or something close to that. A very interesting read...

On a trip to San Francisco many years ago, my wife and I were amused to note that one of the top-selling cigarettes in the city was "Death" brand, which came in a black package with stylized skull and crossbones artwork on it.
 
Per Bing: Earwig bugs seem like something out of a Twilight Zone episode, but they’re real! (The good news is they don’t actually enter your ear and burrow through your brain—that’s science fiction.) While this bug won’t invade your skull, it can invade your home! The earwig bug is notorious for getting into everything. :idea: :yikes:
 
Some words can be read forward or backwards, with obvious different meanings. WEIRD!

It's right up with with that "ei" after "c" spelling rule. Another WEIRD!

But wait a minute...there's no "c". A third WEIRD?


Any enlightenment on any of the above?


Q
 
Not really sure what you're talking about, Ted. Do you mean palindromes? But no, because they have the same meaning either way. Color me puzzled. Can you give an example?
