After reading her site and liking it, I asked Mariemm3 (0f A Take on the World) to come up with a top ten list, and she chose to look at baffling things. (I told her if I was doing my list, one of the things I don't understand is how someone can have a number at the end of her name, but I digress. Enjoy her list.)
1) Earwax - Everything in the body has a rhyme and reason; I don’t know the reason for earwax.
2) Girl’s and Boy’s bikes – Doesn’t this seem backwards somehow? Girls have the empty space and boys have a bar on their bikes...
3) Brussels Sprouts – do we really need miniature cabbage?
4) Traffic on Interstate Highways without accidents – endless road and cars are at a standstill? I know this a math equation but math has never been a strong suit.
5) The California Real Estate Market – I wanna buy a house on a dirt hill that comes with a view of a house above me and house below me. You say the last mudslide was four years ago? A million dollars? SOLD!!
6) Ravel and Unravel – part of their definitions mean the same thing. Look it up.
7) Cruising for a Spot in the Gym parking Lot – People can’t walk the extra 20 steps by parking a few more feet away? Isn’t the purpose of being at the gym getting an extra amount of exercise?
8) Mosquitoes – do they have a purpose?
9) The white marks that appear on folded black clothes even if they have never been worn. What the..?
10) Bjork.
Marie assures me that NOBODY can do a better job than she at a top ten list, but if you have an idea for one you think might compete, let us know!
