Little things you wonder about

What are some little things you wonder about?

me

1. Why don't cartoon characters change clothes unless something special is happening in that episode.

For kicks and giggles

2. If dirty vajayjay smells like fish. How does a fish vajayjay smell?

 

Sorry for sharing my randomness. I had nothing else to do. :)

If 1/3 is 0.3333 and 2/3 is 0.6666, shouldn't 3/3 be 0.99999?

I have pondered this myself!

I have pondered this myself! I think I stumbled across it on wikipedia, but now I can't find the link.

0.99999999... equals 1

it does...0.99999999 (9 repeating infinitely) equals 1...there is calculus to back it up. 0.9999999... can be represented by an infinite series that converges to 1.

Why are men's jeans/pants

Why are men's jeans/pants neatly sized by waist and inseam, but women's are assigned seemingly random sizes that are in no way the same across brands??
brackishtea's picture

.....

Sadly enough women buy into size vanity where if they see a jean size that to them is "smaller" they are most likely to buy it-regardless if they wanted it in the first place.

It's marketing ploy taking advantage of a lot of women's size issues 'tis sad.

Why does goofy (the mickey mouse character) get to own a pet dog while he is actually a dog himself.

Why is it that no one in

Why is it that no one in the movies or tv ever really seems to need to use the bathroom?

If kittens had jetpacks would the bird populations suffer?(this is usually followed by me imagining cats zooming around in jetpacks....no clue where this came from)

Is Aquaman more popular in places that actually have an ocean where he would be more useful?

 

I have more random thoughts like this on a day to day basis but this is all i could think of at the moment

TOMFOOLERY's picture

WTF LOL

kittens with jetpacks.........that is so random. I do believe the bird population would suffer.
.femme.rocker.'s picture

yes

 If I saw a kitten zooming around wearing a jetpack, I would die a happy girl.

A bird and a fish may fall in love, but where would they live?

speaking of cartoon characters...

1. If Wile Coyote had enough money for all the Acme products, why didn't he just buy dinner?

2.  Why does Donald Duck wear a towel when he comes out of the shower, when he doesn't usually wear any pants?

Ahh, the great mysteries of this thing we call life.....

Colette's picture

i think he was banned from

i think he was banned from Denmark or some other northern country because of his sans pants issue
jellybean's picture

note to self....

always remember to wear pants in denmark... unless of course hot women are involved, in which case going pantless is definitely worth the risk of being banned ;)
Cathrine's picture

Not Denmark

Just a little note: he was not banned from Denmark, but Finland.

hhmm..

Isn't it a bit scary that doctors call what they do practice

or

why does your nose run and your feet smell?

 

TOMFOOLERY's picture

That is a bit scary.

I guess it's called a practice because they're always making new medical discoveries. Therefore what they are doing is considered a practice until further notice and i guess because there is no guarantee.

I love this thread!

What is Natalie Portman doing at this moment?

How is that I know that Natalie Portman exists but does not know I do, thus do I really exist?*bites self* I DO!!!!

If the auto big 3 dies will everyone notice? Will anyone really care as long they consume a suitable automotive alternative?

Is it rational to assume rationality although I am at times irrational...and Mariah Carey.

I love cheese and Natalie Portman's face!

Current Wonder

Why doesn't McDonalds automatically include ketchup packs in the bag when you order fries? And since they knew they didn't put any ketchup in the bag and that I ordered FRIES, why didn't they at least ask me if I wanted any?
H.'s picture

Heh

Probably because they, like any considerably logical human, understand that ketchup (aka sugared tomato puree) is revolting ;)

mcdonalds

for some reason everytime I go through the drive-thru they give ketchup in the bag but when I eat inside they don't give any! strange!
.femme.rocker.'s picture

why? WHYYYYYY????

 Who decided that oversized, polyester dice were a suitable decoration for a car's rearview mirror? Why the rearview mirror? They get in the way! And why dice? And why do people continue to follow this trend? Are you going to use the dice? Do you and your friends get together all the dice hanging from your rearview mirrors and play Yahtzee? Are they otherwise functional? Do you think the big cubes with black dots representing numbers on them are cute? Do they make your car look cuter?

Someone please explain, because I have never understood this concept.

A bird and a fish may fall in love, but where would they live?

Brittany's picture

LOL! This post made me

LOL! This post made me laugh so hard! I never realized someone felt so strongly about fuzzy dice. I LOVE it!

Anyway, I have to admit, I have a pair hanging in my car, but in my defense they were a gift from my best friend on my 16th birthday. They may not be attractive and they may be 6 years old, but I love her so I have to love them I guess. Thank you so much for this post though. I needed a laugh today.

.femme.rocker.'s picture

you're welcome

 And thank YOU for replying. At least I have an answer now. My soul can rest.

Hmm...

What's REALLY the point in spelling words with silent letters when they aren't going to be pronounced?

If we are here, where exactly is there?. If you say there is THERE, and we show eachother where THERE is, standing at THERE, we'd say, "right HERE!". No?.

If the Hulk was a female and she transformed, would she be left in a purple bikini?

Damnit!, is Cyclops WINKING or BLINKING at me?!

Why is it called a Toothbrush when it cleans Teeth?

Silent letters

I really don't get the point of silent letters either. Like why the F__k is there a "P" in PNEUMONIA what's the purpose.

Rascal's picture

Exactly!...

I'm sure there isn't a word spelled NEUMONIA already taken, that they had to add a "P" to avoid confusions.

toothbrush

because when your brushing your teeth (if you're brushing correctly that is ;)  ) you brush every tooth. Hence a brush which cleans every tooth!

Haha

Ah, I see...and the others listed?.

wonder about

why do most straight people equate promiscuity with homosexuality or view homosexuality as the most hideous thing on earth considering that there are more heterosexuals having aids, more heterosexual rapists, more heterosexual porn movies, and those who often commit sexual harassment are heterosexuals? i don't think it has something to do with ratio because i'm not sure if there are more heterosexuals than homosexuals in the world ha ha

"...the available statistics, 74 percent of HIV infected people are IDU, 14.4 percent heterosexual groups and 1.5 percent is MSM (Men Who Have Sex With Men)."

Go F__k Yourself

If masturbation is suppose to be healthy and encouraged why is it a insult to tell someone to go f__k themselves?

Why do we have pubic hair?

Is there suppose to be a pubic hair salon?

Why do we still "dial" phone numbers? We push buttons, we don't dial rotaries anymore.

movie voiceovers

Why is it that Mischa Barton saying "up in rainy(sp?) river, you see, nothing had changed since the fifties" in Lost and Delirious after seeing Paulie and Tori kissing sound just the same as the voice over for "the truth about Jane".

 

here's an example

first lost and delirious (starting at 0:50)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeaNaGAQkY0

 

and truth about jane (starting at 0:40 to 0:50)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZPQMsss9KU 

 

maybe it's just me.. 

Rascal's picture

Not just you.

Wow, I've never really noticed the many times I've seen both.
