Things I've Been Wondering Recently.....

*  What exactly is the point of Twitter?  Were people really finding Facebook too "in depth?"

*  If I decided I actually liked dandelion leaves in my salad and wanted the darn things to grow, does that mean they would finally die because they lost their "weed" status?

*  My 88-year-old grandmother is planting a vegetable garden about twice the size of ours.  Does optimism expand with age?

*  So if we all get to make up our own "facts" now whenever we want, when do I get to be "a 29-year-old woman who can eat all the pizza she wants without gaining an ounce and who actually understands modern art?"

* I get that worms crawl onto the sidewalk during rainstorms because they have no air to breathe once the water soaks into the ground.  What I don't get is why they crawl the extra two feet to get into the center of the sidewalk, where they're just going to shrivel up and die as soon as it warms up.  Are they just really slow learners, or is there really just so little to live for in the life of an invertebrate?  

*  Is "Those who fail to study history probably went to school in Texas" going to replace the original saying now?

*  Why is my first impulse to use my arm a whole bunch whenever I get frustrated about how long it is taking to heal?

*  I have relatives who are part of the "immigrants are ruining our country and taking all those [low paying] jobs" camp.  Since we're Irish, do you think they notice the irony?

*  Why can't we track down that one guy who keeps falling for the all internet Viagra offers and take away his computer?

*  Our European ancestors came to America, then largely decimated the original inhabitants by giving them small-pox infected blankets or just indiscriminately shooting them, THEN rounded up the survivors onto the most worthless land they could possibly find.  All things considered, shouldn't it be the Native Americans who are most concerned about immigration to this country?
