just wondering

Isn't it disappointing when something that means a lot to you doesn't mean anything to the person you want it to mean something to?

I think the combustion engine is useful, but how smart is it to invent something that turns a finite resource into something that kills you?

Shouldn't there be a list of dating rules written so we can bring the percentage of relationships that end in disaster down to 90% from 98%? Does anyone see the foreshadowing of a future blog here?

How pretentious does a teacher have to be to claim that his/her class is the most important one?

Are $1 coins practical in any way?

What makes something so interesting when it's 20 times larger or 20 times smaller than its usual size?

What ever happend to spectacular words like 'lest' and 'alas' that provide a entertaining break from dull words like 'so' and 'but'?

How do people critcize Olympic athletes for taking a small step after doing 3 backflips off a 4-inch wide beam or for winning only 6 gold medals when they could have won 8?
