Other stuff

A few random thoughts:

• Everyone asks if you call the glass half full or half empty. Both are completely inaccurate. Unless the glass is in a vacuum, the half without liquid is filled with air. Therefore, the glass is always full (but I still need more Pepsi).


• I find it interesting that the majority refer to those things hanging over intersections as stop lights or red lights, even when giving directions (turn left at the 3rd stop light).


• If it's such a rare commodity (according to most people) then why is it called common sense?
• What exactly is a timely death?
• God must have a sense of humor. I'm color blind but I paint for a living (he also created the platypus).
• If I understand correctly, Christianity, Islam and Judisiam can be traced back to a common origin. If this is the case, then we all basically pray to the same God. Why all the fighting?
• Muslum men who "marter themselves" are promised 70 virgins in the next life. First, where do they find them? Second, then what? After about 12 weeks, I presume that they no longer have 70 virgins, they have 70 wives.
• If some "Native Americans" are all upset about being used as team mascots, shouldn't the jungle sue the Bengals?
• Why can't we attach small electric generators to the round roof vents that spin in the wind and create electricty?
• Why can't we attach wind driven generators to bridges and connect them to a grid in the roadway that would heat the road surface and slow the process of freezing?
• Why can't we attach "wind mills" to all the radio towers to produce more electric?
• Why can't we use abandoned coal and other mines as garbage dumps? Filling the holes back in might keep the ground above from sinking.
• Why can't we all just get along?

I was filling out a profile on Careerbuilder and one of the questions asked was: What is your dream job. I can think of a few.

1. The person who goes to the customers' place of business and teaches the employees how to use my company's product (whatever the company and product are).
2. High school football coach.
3. Head of a non-profit that is a combination of Habitat for Humanity and Extreme Home Makeovers. I'd call it "Rehab for Humanity" and we'd buy distressed properties, rehab them and then make them available for low income families who would assist in the rehab.
4. Norm Abrams.

See what happens when it's just me and a notebook?
