But seriously....
why would you ever play "mother may I?"? It's just a power trip for kids. If you don't want anyone else to be in charge you just never let them take any steps forward.

They call them "fingers," but you never see them fing
The word finger: what a curious one it is. As an ESL student, one might see the -er ending and think, oh, something is "finging", and look up the verb "to fing." What would they find? I wondered, and so I looked it up on dictionary.com, was rerouted to Acronym Finder, and found this:
What does FING stand for?
Financial Group
That's all.

Question
What is it that everybody has and some pirates and thieves try to take?
- Da booty. Da boot- ay- ay.
But that's besides the point-
Why is it that older boys think it's a good idea to compare your ages?
"28 to 21, that's doable. 19 and 28. Not ok."
"I listened to Boys2Men, All 4 1, etc. growing up," guy.
"I had a mixed tape of music where I listened to "I Swear (by the moon and the stars and the sky, I'll be there...) in 1st or 2nd grade," me.
"Oh, I was listening to that as a sophomore in high school."
"Sucka!" I didn't really say that, although I thought it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's ok for a 26 year old to date a 19 year old," a certain guy when I was 19. Whoa, there boy! We're going on one date to the Christmas Program at Temple Square. We are not dating.

I really do love words too much
Can you think of any words that define themselves?
So far, I'm thinking maybe "self-explanatory" or "word."

Grow up, loser.
1. Have you ever had someone your own age tell you to "grow up"? It feels weird.
2. What if the sky was really an upside down ocean? And the gravity from other celestial bodies kept it from spilling all over us? And then these celestial bodies actually stopped producing enough gravity and it covered the entire earth in water? And then we adapted and could breathe under water? Wouldn't that be cool, minus all the electronics being ruined at first?

phone call
Why do I get ridiculous phone calls at work?
June 13 8:26 a.m.
"We...I... Anthropology kind of sounds like animals and this is a moth."

Verbal Sexism
Why does "that's what she said!" work so well in so many situations, but "that's what he said!" works so infrequently?
It's curious...and just not fair.

Canine Quirks
Why is it that my dog chooses to lie on the cold, hard tile, mere inches away from the carpet or a chair or a soft bed?
And why does my keyboard stop working whenever I have hypem.com open?

Exhaustion to the Max
Why does it seem that I'm just as tired when I get 8 hours of sleep as when I get 4? Because if that's the case, I feel like there's a lot more things I should be doing. Training for a marathon, reading Crime and Punishment, staying out late with friends, investigating global warming....
These are all important and laudable deeds, so if I'm going to have an extra 4 hours of non-sleep time every night for the rest of my life, I might as well get started now.

curiousquestionsforum
We all have curious questions or, better yet, curious findings. This is a blog designed to house all of these things.
For Example:
For Example:
- Curious #1: Inspiration for this blog came at about 2 am, when I should have been asleep because I have 8 am work.
- Curious #2: Every time I walk past our fridge there is a massive puddle of water on the floor. Why?
- Curious #3: The hammock next door (Andy's house) is broken right in the middle. What happened?
