Questions of the Moment
Saturday, April 15th, 2006 10:24 amWhy does LJ's autosave feature save drafts of boring posts but lose everybody's interesting ones?
Boxes of a dozen large eggs are on sale this week, so I bought a box of brown ones instead of my usual box of eight large white. Why, when it usually pays to buy in bulk, are the boxes of eight usually cheaper per egg than the boxes of twelve? And why did it take me until just a few minutes ago to figure out why eggs are on sale for such good prices this week?
Why is it that most of my body is telling me this would be a great day to go for a nice, long walk in the city when my poor, still-blistered feet would rather bury themselves in a nice, soft carpet instead?
My red clown nose is trying to peel off. As it was thoroughly sunburned on Tuesday, this is understandable. But why does it feel like my eyeballs are trying to peel off as well?
I finished a large canister of plain oatmeal this week and opened up a new one. The lid on the new canister split in half, so I tried putting the new oatmeal into the old canister. I understand why you don't put new wine in old wineskins, but why can't I put 42 ounces of new oatmeal into an old 42 ounce canister? Even after a couple servings of the new oatmeal have been consumed, there are still several ounces left over that just won't fit.
Why do birds fall down from the sky every time you walk by? And why has it been so long since I last listened to the Carpenters?
I like seeing Gurdonark's mind at work. No questions about that.
Why are they forecasting a mostly cloudy day for Easter? That just isn't right.
Why do I eat when I'm not hungry but forget to drink something when I'm thirsty?
And here's a question someone may be able to answer: What tree or other plant began pollinating in significant amounts within the last few days? I've been doing better than usual this allergy season, but really started sniffling on Thursday.
