Did ya ever wonder...
Hello dear reader. I've missed sitting down with you and having a chat, but I've been a tad busy over the past couple of months with that distressing work thing I have to do so I have money to buy nice, pretty shiny things, eat and pay for my endless internet abuse. I have also only just finished processing the 350+ photographs from my friends daughters wedding in March.
It also doesn't help that I have had some interesting thoughts of things I'd like to write about while I am at work, but they seem to disappear from my memory by the time I get home. My brain just isn't what it used to be and all the good information seems to be leaking out and leaving me with stuff that may actually be useful in everyday life. A very sad situation indeed.
To this end, I decided to delve into the dark recesses of my hard drive and find something that may amuse and distract you until I find something even more interesting and noteworthy to write about in the future. So without any further ado, I invite you to ask yourself:
Did ya ever wonder....
...about people who spend more than $2.00 a piece on those bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE.
...how making a smoking section in a restaurant is like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?
...if 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea, does that mean one person enjoys it?
...if people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
...if a pig loses its voice, does that mean it's disgruntled?
...why croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?
...why a person who plays the piano is called a pianist but a race car driver isn't called a racist?
...why the number 11 isn't pronounced onety-one?
...if Lipton tea employees take coffee breaks?
...if people who read the bible more as they get older are actually cramming for their final exams?
...if western mothers feed their babies with tiny spoons and forks, do Chinese mothers feed their babies with toothpicks?
...if we are put on the Earth to help others, what are the others here for?
...what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?
...if a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?
Later days.
Trivial fact number 214:- Dublin is home of the Fairy Investigation Society - which pisses the Leprechauns off to no end.

Good to hear you are still out and about, though having a memory that mostly only remembers useful stuff is a bit worrying. Are you becoming one of those "useful members of society" ?...... what a waste, lol. As you can tell from my very rare blogs these days, I too find time and subjects hard to come by, but i still check in from time to time to see how my online friends are doing. Thanks for the smiles with ur wonderings. I think the peeing section in swimming pools a good idea, keeps the water warm during winter!! Lipton tea - coffee break, ha ha ha. But thats interesting fact about 11 not called onety one. Wonder who DID come up with our names for numbers ????
