Things that make you go MMMMM or Hmmmm

Along the lines of Brady's thread where he asked us what kinds of questions of the universe would we like answers to--only not quite that philosophical--

Here's one of mine:
How can these people on morning radio shows sound so peppy when I'm driving with one eye open???


Feel free to share some of your questions.

Is it okay to go to yoga class just because you fancy the teacher, even if it puts you in a very uncomfortable position?

Hmmmm...

(And try The Today Programme on Radio 4 - politicians being grilled over every last inch of their mistakes at 6:30 in the morning by hosts who sound one shut-eye away from PURE PSYCHOTIC RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!)

How can butter be considered a luxury item? (it is where I'm living!)

Hmmmm...

Also, I bet Ray'll love this: pea-flavoured ice creams are available from the vendor on the street by my door. Mmm-mm.

Whose idea was it to gather the leaves of certain plants, cut them, cure them, burn them, and inhale the smoke? If you think about it, that's pretty weird...

I almost mooched a cigarette off someone today. After five years 'clean'!

Maryn, having a crummy day so far

How is it that my son knew the intricacies of the computer before ever being taught? How can 'instinct' for such a thing exist?

Green tea ice cream...

Still, why no kidney pie ice cream?

who was the guy to lick the that liked the hallucinogenic frogs, and why?


I'd give that a whirl. Anyone have a spare frog?

Why? The why should be obvious -




because I can!!!

I've been to a few weddings recently, and I have to wonder - why is it that the average wedding cake costs a lot more than a normal cake of its size but tastes a lot worse?


You're not supposed to eat the cake. Cake is just an excuse to eat frosting.

Matt, our daughter is a semi-professional baker, and your taste buds are absolutely right. Most cakes contain butter or margarine and whole eggs. This makes them slightly yellow, even 'white' cake.

Since weddings are white-white-white, the cakes use vegetable shortening--Crisco--instead of butter or margarnine, and the eggs are separated and no yolks go in. The result is a baked flour-Crisco-sugar concoction that nobody'd eat if there weren't an open bar.

and then with the open bar you usually need some help slugging them down. only had one wedding cake that was good, and lets not talk about how much they had to pay for that.
