^ you don't want to hear how sometimes I take a marshmallow and stick it in the microwave for 12 seconds, then, do you? Okay, then, I won't mention it. And you won't press the link here, will you?


And If you put two marshmallow peeps in the microwave, and put a toothpick in them, its called Peep jousting! \o/ (Whichever one pops first is the loser XD )

Did you know there is actually a plant, called the mallow, which grows in marshes, from which the candy was originally made, before they decided to just make it out of corn syrup and gelatin or whatever they use these days?

And once upon a time, I made Turkish Delight. That was before I discovered the hypoglycemia.

1. Justin Beiber (Bieber? - that's how little I understand him and his attraction).
2. Anyone who still clicks on those you have won xxxx!!! links when browsing websites.
3. Jazz (and believe me, I've tried!).
4. The fascination with Facebook
5. Why the England football team play the way they do.

1. People who pick their nose in traffic.

Don't they know it's gross and other people can see them?

Or, maybe they just don't care?

(Sometimes, I just wanna pull up beside them and offer them a tissue)

And these are the same people who walk in my office and shake my hand - Yuck, Yuck YUCK! :rant:

This, this, a million times, this!

In the middle of the night, when I can barely see what is around me, and I come across the horror which is The Rocking Horse - which I always imagine to be rocking to and fro ever so slightly, even though I know nobody has touched it ...

Dude! So much the start of a decent freaky scene in a book or movie! Ghost Rocker...

These are the same people who live in shacks, but drive supped up Lincolns, have the latest smart phone, but no power to their house, right?

Yip :) . Heard a rumour the other day that a family living in a shack hooked up their television set to a traffic light. As the light changed, so did the channels. :D

Not that there was anything wrong with Carl Sagan...

Getting back to the thread, and a more general statement:

I don't understand peeps who don't understand, or especially those who don't like science.

I don't understand why we've made it so we have to work for a living.

It's a stupid and evil idea.

Because we need more newer and neater stuff! That and owning property - your piece of the earth, all yours (except it never is, is it?).

Things I don't understand--at all:

Why everybody adores Starbucks when every brew they make has that bitter burnt undertaste.

Why otherwise-intelligent adults would choose to ride without a motorcycle helmet in states where that's legal. Live Free And Die?

Why I'm perfectly happy to shovel as much snow as falls, but loath to pull weeds for a half hour on a sunny morning.

How it is that I reach the 15th of the month or later before I get around to turning the page on my wall calendar.

Where the pens that belong in the cup near the phone go.

Maryn, mystified

I ride without a motorcycle helmet. Of course, I'm riding a pedal bicycle.... :tongue

You need a calendar that runs from the 15th to the 15th of every month.

I don't understand camping... with like a tent and stuff.

Who thought this up? Lets just ignore thousands of years of creating better and better living quarters and creature comforts so we can what? Sleep on the ground? Be eaten alive by bugs? Cook on a smoke plum of burning sticks?

:Shrug:

I don't understand people who leave their air conditioner on 24/7 in the summer, even when the weather is perfect.
