Randomness

There are many, many, things in this life that I don't understand. So in an attempt to acquire new knowledge I put these questions out to the world. Oh and I will be adding to this, trust me....

1) WHY do I get every single freedom and right offered to an American, for example the right to get married at 18 to a guy I had only known 2 years. YET couples who have been together 20 years, paid their taxes and worked hard can't because of their sex.

2) Why put time machines or devices in books or movies? Because the question will always come up WHY NOT GO BACK IN TIME AND FIX THINGS! My example Harry Potter, WHY can't Harry go back and save Cedric??? Hellooooooo a few spins of the little hourglass should do it! Get on it Harry seriously! (Although my friend Miranda pointed out if Cedric didn't die we wouldn't have our Edward.... she's a very smart woman)

3) Who came up with some of the little things we take for granted. Like who decided that those gross little brown beans could be ground up and mixed with hot water to make my yummy coffee. OR who was the first person brave enough to try a mushroom, all gross with mud and dirt. Or who played the first musical instrument, or sing for the first time (And no History of the World Part 1 probably doesn't give the most accurate of accounts)

4) What's so addicting about MySpace?

5) What did we do on the computer before MySpace? No seriously I can't remember......

6) Why are there always fights about separation of church and state? Isn't that one of the founding principals of our country???

7) I'm pretty sure I know WHO came up with circumcision but who was the first mom to let someone do that to her baby???? Maybe she really wanted a girl.......

8) Why does a bottle of water cost $4 at the movies? Seems kinda dumb, especially when they have a water fountain right outside...

9) If you're color blind, but have never been tested, doesn't everything look normal to you? So with that theory our red could be your blue, your green could be our purple, our black could be your white. How do we know we aren't all color blind?????

10) Who took the time to invent Trigonometry? Some sadist I'm sure....

11) I remember a teacher in like 3rd grade teaching my class that blood was actually blue inside our veins and turned red when exposed to air..... that is false! And I quote 'Blood in veins can look "blue" when viewed through the skin because of light refraction and other factors.' SO SHOULDN'T MY TEACHER HAVE LEARNED THAT BEFORE TEACHING IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN! I remember thinking that was so cool and going home to tell my dad that and he just thought I was crazy, way to go teach.....

12) Why do Americans work longer hours and take less vacations than any other country? It doesn't make sense, work 6 days a week 51 weeks a year at a job you hate just to sit at home and complain about having to go back to work.... vacations work wonders. Hell you don't have to go far, I get excited when Matt and I get half and hour from Dover, if you live in Dover you understand.

13) Who decided that dogs made good pets? And how did dogs defend themselves in the wild before humans started caring for them? Were there wild packs of angry Chihuahua's ruling the jungle? History may never know....

14) How did our great great grandmothers do it? Clean, cook, raise kids, teach those kids, care for the husband, go to church, be involved with the community and all that without running water? Pioneer women were really superwomen.... and here I am bitching when my vacuum won't work right.

15) I believe in evolution but WHY OH WHY hasn't my dog evolved enough to let me know when she has to pee, rather then squatting down NEXT to the back door. Seriously evolve already.

16) I spent all day writing and somehow lost 2 pages..... how was that fair?

17) How come in the last 100 years technology has boomed so much? Why couldn't someone come up with a phone 500 years ago? OR a computer 200 years ago? People have been here for thousands and thousands of years and this is all new because?

18) Would you eat meat if you had to slaughter it?

19) Why are there rules for grammar? It's supposed to be from the heart and express individuality so why do I care about adverbs or commas? I say screw your commas. ,,,,,,,,,

20) Who decided that 18 was the age for growing up here in America? Does it make a difference if I'm 18 or 19? Why can I drive at 16, get married and join the military at 18, but not drink until 21? Why 21? Why not 20, a nice round number. My mom told me once it was to keep kids safe well mom get this, 18 year old kids can star in porn but can't drink to their DVD release.... seems odd to me.
