Random Thoughts

---Things that happen to me. I see an interesting fact. I go, “This would make a great random thought!” I think it’s too much trouble to write it down, so I’ll just “remember” it. I immediately forget it.

---For some reason, I can no longer directly copy urls out of my Google Chrome address bar. It’s been this way ever since the lamentable crash, though I had no trouble with it before that and have no trouble copying out of Firefox. I’ve been on a million websites looking for solutions, and so far, zilch. Apparently this is an issue several people have had over the years, and the only solution I found is NOTHING. It makes doing my etymology posts, which require much copying and pasting, most irritating.

---If you ever hear of some solution to this, please share, because this is driving me crazy. Well, crazier.

---“Bear falls through skylight, eats birthday cupcakes”. That’s what you get for not throwing him a birthday party.

---Plus, there’s also that bear that climbed into someone’s hammock. You sure as hell won’t want to kick him out.

---If you want to give your neighbors’ children a doll as a gift, maybe leaving it on their doorstep with no note like some sort of doppelganger isn’t the best way to go. Just saying, it’s a little creepy.

---Ever see a television commercial and think that somewhere out there, there’s a woman who admitted to needing adult diapers on national television?

---The things that I ponder.

---I’m glad I’m not an actor. If I was, I’d definitely be doing adult diaper commercials.

---Apparently people who can’t understand sarcasm are more likely to suffer dementia. What about people who exclusively use sarcasm? Do we develop some kind of super resistance to it?

---“Humans can fly! Wingsuits on YouTube.” Annnnnnd ignore.

---“Over 90% Of Human DNA May Be Completely Worthless”. Do with this what you will, fellow sci-fi writers.

---Man, are these the only random thoughts I could come up with? I really need to start noting down more of the things I stumble across. This is getting embarrassing.

Random Thoughts

---Yes, you’re getting Random Thoughts, because I’m still not sure my computer is working right.

---If you’re ever buried alive, take off your shirt and tie it around your face so you won’t choke on the dirt. But it won’t do anything to help your whole buried-alive situation.

---After ten years and forty million dollars, they finally stopped one end of the Leaning Tower of Pisa from sinking any further for two hundred years. Leany is good, but you don’t want it too leany.

---You may have heard that marshmallows cure sore throats (in fact, I think I mentioned it in one of these posts). It turns out, it’s not marshmallows the sugary treat. It’s the marsh mallow plant—a mallow plant that grows in marshes. It does not look or taste like marshmallows, making the name a kind of tease.

---Although to be fair, the plant isn’t named after the sugary treat. It’s the other way around. Apparently, marshmallows used to be made from a paste of marsh mallows. At least this explains why it’s spelled with an “a” when we say “marshmellow”.

---Let’s see if the correct information spreads as fast as the wrong stuff.

---A woman, thirty four years old, was caught posing as a high school student—a fifteen year old high school student. And it took almost a year for anyone to catch on.

---Apparently, she was pulling all A’s and B’s.

---Scientists in the UK are experimenting on how to turn light into matter. The world is slowly turning into Star Trek, and I’m okay with that.

---Maybe then I can get a m************ c********** son of a b******* computer that doesn’t turn into a f****** pile of s*** after three a********* years.

---Yeah, I think I’m still mad about it.

---No, I’m not telling you what letters go in those asterisks.
