Ladies and gentlemen, we have known for yonder years now that the planet we inhabit is a majestic, and magical place. Sometimes that magic is flabbergasting feats of nature like a complex ant hole. Other times magic can be human feats of daring, like a single person battling the odds, the countless stairs, and one closed door to make the grocery run... in one trip.
You may begin the slow applause.
"Fun and jokes" aside (really, I'm concerned if you find me humourous) there are also some parts of the world that we live in that are frankly, just strange. This came to me in a kind of flash while I was eating a boiled egg and mayonnaise sandwich. I found myself wondering... what exactly is in mayonnaise? I always knew that mayonnaise had eggs in it because my friend was allergic, but I had never put much more thought into it. To cut a long story short, mayonnaise is egg yolks whipped together with oil to form an emulsion, and then proteins and lecithin are added (oooohhh science). So yes, I started to realize the world was a weird place when I noticed I was essentially eating an egg and egg sandwich...
With this in mind I decided to come up a short list of things that are just downright strange when you really think about it:
1: This is a disclaimer, the list is my opinion, and yes, I'm fully aware that some of these actually do have some form of logic, but that doesn't mean it's not a bit weird all the same.
2: That number one is a disclaimer. Sorry, I had to do it, I know you're mostly lazy and never read disclaimers anyway. I bet you have 19993049404990094605 reasons why you don't read disclaimers, but if you didn't read that entire number, you and I both know what's really the problem.
Okay, for real now, here's my list.
1: Skittles have colours for the flavours, but why do M&M's have colours?
2: If french fries/chips are fried and salted potatoes, and potato chips/crisps are also fried and salted potatoes, why do we feel comfortable eating one with condiments but not the other?
3: Why is it some people are okay calling others babe/baby, but think it's weird to say daddy, or even worse... mum... (It's all just as bad in my opinion).
4: Emotions in general.
5: That your nose runs, and your feet smell (okay, not so weird, but just a little bit of funny english).
6: Gift cards. Why would you give me money, but only money I can use at one place? Honestly it's crazy!
And I'm all out. I honestly thought I would be able to produce more out of that list, but it would appear the world is pretty normal when you want it to be weird. Sort of like when you look out the car and see two cows mating... but everyone else is asleep and you look the total loony for "imagining things". I swear it happened people!

SonstigesI spend a lot of time thinking and exploring abstract concepts. As such today I thought, why not just write them down? My friend had a few words of encouragement and now I'm here about to begin. Most of this is just whatever comes to my mind, and l...
